Offensive line OL
Athleticism + games started + Senior Bowl invite carry most of the weight — college stats say little about offensive line play. Older classes are filed under the single line code rather than tackle/guard/center.
Likeliest career, by the outcome model.
How many offensive linemen land in each career bucket as the model's single most likely finish. This is a different question from the board grades below — a prospect can be a Day 3 grade and still have “starter” as his likeliest outcome. The tails (elite, bust) are where the model separates; the middle two buckets sit close to a coin flip.
The board.
All 39 offensive linemen with a draftable grade on Draftanomics's 2023 board, tier by tier.
Peter Skoronski out of Northwestern is the blue-chip tier by himself, projected No. 5 overall. No cliff at the bottom, either: Broderick Jones is 3 projected picks behind Skoronski.
This is where the class lives: 9 offensive linemans carry a first-round grade, with Broderick Jones out of Georgia at the front of the line at No. 8 overall. Barely a seam here — Anton Harrison comes off just 2 picks later. The model is planting a flag on Luke Wypler, 71 spots ahead of where the room ranks him (No. 102).
The Day 2 tier runs 10 deep, opening with Anton Harrison out of Oklahoma at No. 33 and closing with Carter Warren at No. 104. No cliff at the bottom, either: Jon Gaines is 6 projected picks behind Warren. Inside the tier, the model's fight is Tyler Steen: it says No. 39, the room says No. 118.
This is where the class lives: 19 offensive linemans carry a Day 3 grade, with Jon Gaines out of UCLA at the front of the line at No. 110 overall. Warren McClendon carries the tier's risk, a 39 percent bust probability from a model with real signal at offensive lineman.
