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 29 offensive linemen with a draftable grade on Draftanomics's 2025 board, tier by tier.
Only Armand Membou carries a blue-chip grade at offensive lineman — the Missouri product projects No. 4 overall. No cliff at the bottom, either: Kelvin Banks is 3 projected picks behind Membou.
Kelvin Banks out of Texas fronts a four-man first-round tier at No. 7 overall, with Booker and Ersery filling it out. Barely a seam here — Josh Simmons comes off just 2 picks later. No red flags either — the tier's worst bust number is just 15 percent, from a model that reads offensive linemans well.
Josh Simmons leads a 10-deep Day 2 group — the meat of the OL board — starting at a projected No. 34 overall. Mind the gap after Milum: Jackson Slater is next, and he is 32 picks away. No red flags either — the tier's worst bust number is just 19 percent, from a model that reads offensive linemans well.
The Day 3 tier runs 14 deep, opening with Jackson Slater out of Sacramento St. at No. 109 and closing with Branson Taylor at No. 254. Inside the tier, the model's fight is Jackson Slater: it says No. 109, the room says No. 158.
