2024 NFL Draft - Offensive Line (OT/G/C)

 

It’s a rather celebrated OT class and although I’m not quite as high on it I do think it’s a very good class up top. I then think there are more questions than answers as you get deeper but not without upside. As we move inside, I think the Guard class is high floor, but low ceiling with a bunch of solid prospects but no standouts, and at center there are a bunch of positional changes and inconsistency but plenty of intrigue at the top.

Previously Posted Positions - QB | RB | WR | TE

 

Player (Class (as listed by the college)) | Team (Conference) | Height, Weight |

10 | Shuttle | 3-Cone | Vert | Broad | Athleticism | Role (Gr)

 

Roles & Grades – Starter (S) 8.0-7.1, Expected Starter (ES) 7.0-6.1, Potential Starter (PS) 6.0-4.1, Backup (B) 4-3.1, and Undrafted Free Agent (UDFA) 3.0-2.1

 

Offensive Tackles (Top 10)

 

Joe Alt (Jr) | Notre Dame (IND) | 6’ 8 5/8”, 321 lbs.

1.69 | 4.51 | 7.31 | 28 | 112 | 1.744 | S (7.4)

Amarius Mims (Jr) | Georgia (SEC) | 6’ 7 3/4”, 340 lbs.

1.72 | 4.33 | n/a | 25.5 | 111 | 2.116 | S (7.1)

Taliese Fuaga (Jr) | Oregon State (P12) | 6’ 5 3/4”, 324 lbs.

1.76 | n/a | n/a | 32 | 111 | .598 | S (7.1)

Olu Fashanu (Jr) | Penn State (B1G) | 6’ 6”, 312 lbs.

1.76 | n/a |n/a | 32 | 109 | .420 | S (7.1)

JC Latham (Jr) | Alabama (SEC) | 6’ 3 3/4”, 342 lbs.

n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | ES (7.0)

Troy Fautanu (Jr) | Washington (P12) | 6’ 3 3/4”, 317 lbs.

1.69 | n/a | n/a | 32.5 | 113 | .685 | ES (6.8)

I’m a little lower on the upside of this batch compared to others but there’s some fun prospects. Alt is a tall nimble mover, who gets to the second level with ease, he gets a little too far forward at times which means defenders can get into his body a bit more often than you’d like but all in all he’s the best tackle in the class. Mims is a risk because of injuries, inexperience, and potentially switching from the right side to the left. All that is to say almost 6’8”, 340 isn’t supposed to move like that. Fuaga and Fashanu are players with positional “concerns”. Fuaga is a traditional RT mauler with enough athleticism to not make you worry about his ability to hold up in the pass game. Fashanu needs to be more consistent but despite being built like a nimble version of a guard his pass set and his ability to move in space are good enough to stay on the outside. Both Latham and Fautanu are guys who are both good prospects who fall above solid but not quite to where the top 4 lie. For Latham he got beat by speed a bit more frequently than the others and played RT at Bama, not a knock so much as it’s an adjustment. Many have Fautanu as a guard but I thought he was plenty good enough on the edge to at least start his career with every opportunity there before shifting inside to guard where I think he’d be very good.

 

Brandon Coleman (Sr) | TCU (BXII) | 6’ 4 1/2”, 313 lbs.

1.73 | 4.62 | 7.40 | 34 | 114 | 1.459 | ES (6.5)

Roger Rosengarten (Sr) | Washington (P12) | 6’ 5 3/8”, 308 lbs.

1.69 | 4.60 | n/a | 30 | 113 | 1.125 | ES (6.3)

Kingsley Suamatai (So) | BYU (BXII) | 6’ 6”, 325 lbs.

1.73 | n/a | n/a | 28 | 110 | .515 | ES (6.2)

Christian Jones (Sr) | Texas (BXII) | 6’ 5 1/4”, 305 lbs.

1.76 | 4.71 | 7.65 | 29 | n/a | .276 | ES (6.1)

Coleman and Rosengarten can both move, there clearly in the second tier with their skills just off the top 6. Suamatai was a weird grade for me, he’s incredibly raw, but he has heavy hands and length, he will need patient but tough coaching but the upside is immense. Lastly Christian Jones, like Fuaga I think he stays on the right side but he moves well, can get downhill and maul, and while he needs to be more consistent with his feet but the tools are there.

Guards (Top 5)

Cooper Beebe (Sr) | Kansas State (BXII) | 6’ 3 1/4”, 322 lbs.

1.70 | 4.61 | 7.44 | 27.5 | 109 | 1.538 | ES (6.8)

Dominick Puni (RSSr) | Kansas (BXII) | 6’ 5 1/8”, 313 lbs.

1.72 | 4.40 | 7.47 | 30 | 107 | 1.529 | ES (6.5)

Mason McCormick (RSSr) | South Dakota State (FCS) | 6’ 4 1/4", 309 lbs.

1.66 | 4.45 | 7.59 | 35.5 | 117 | 1.840 | ES (6.2)

Christian Mahogany (RSSr) | Boston College (ACC) | 6’ 3 3/8”, 314 lbs.

1.74 | 4.53 | 7.81 | 32.5 | 109 | 1.393 | ES (6.2)

Christian Haynes (RSSr) | UCONN (AAC) | 6’ 2 3/4", 317 lbs.

1.69 | n/a | n/a | 33 | 102 | .659 | ES (6.1)

The first thing I’ll say is that this group tested really well but I was just underwhelmed watching them. Across the board they didn’t have the aggression that we’ve seen from top prospects in past years. Beebe shows the athleticism the best on tape, he gets to the second level well but his arms are slightly on the shorter side and people are able to get into his body a bit too often. Puni is big and mean, he’s moving in from tackle at the next level and needs to do a better job of re-anchoring at the next level. McCormick was the better half of a good left side duo at South Dakota State. He’s a good power guard who does well getting to the second level, and while he’s not overwhelming with his athleticism but he’s more than functional. Mahogany is a brawler, he not the greatest in space but he moves well in pass blocking situations. Haynes has a strong anchor in the pass game and moves well in space and looks for work when uncovered, he can get a bit upright in the run game which effects his base and power.

Barton is the only one of these five that didn’t play center in college but his tackle tape from Duke shows a player with a great anchor, athleticism, and who stays engaged with his blocks through the whistle. Bortolini moved to center this year from guard, while he has some inconsistencies you can see his athleticism on display, there were some growing pains but the flashes and his performance at the Senior Bowl suggest a bright future. Frazier has strong hands, a solid anchor, and is always looking for work he can get got by speed from time to time but he’s a stout option in the middle. Powers-Johnson has functional strength, an understanding of where he wants to be and is a good pass blocker. Limmer is as solid as it comes. He strong at the point of attack, gets to the second level well, and is active in pass protection.
