NFL Offensive Line Rankings 2025 - Best & Worst NFL Offensive Lines

The 2025 Fantasy Football Draft Guide is live and if you’ve been keeping up on it, then you’re already way ahead of your league mates! Here at FantasyAlarm we have you covered for the next two months for your fantasy football draft preparation and Best Ball leagues to help you make some money and earn plenty of bragging rights.

Offensive lines tend to fall by the wayside in terms of fantasy football analysis. These players aren’t on anyone’s draft board, nor do they accumulate points, but an offensive line goes a long way toward offensive success. There’s the coveted relationship between center and quarterback. And if quarterback is the most important position in all of sports, then perhaps left tackle is next in line since they protect the franchise QB’s blindside. Winning in the trenches goes a long way to leading to some breakout seasons for running backs as well.

Even if you aren’t necessarily heavily invested in offensive lines for fantasy football research, by all means scroll on down and see how your favorite team stacks up against the rest of the NFL! I do my best to update this article once training camps open. We are certainly due to see some intriguing positional battles, maybe a surprise retirement or two, and unfortunately injuries do shift the landscape of these rankings a fair amount. Let’s take a look at how all 32 NFL offensive lines shape up for the 2025 season!

1. Philadelphia Eagles

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 75.2 (6^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 73.9 (6^th)

I strongly dislike kicking off the rankings with the defending Super Bowl champions. I’m not bitter, nor am I an Eagles hater. I think they’re fun to watch and don’t believe the Tush Push should be banned at all. It just feels like an easy layup because the Eagles are returning four starters from last season.

When you run the ball effectively and can quickly get the ball out, that’s a strong recipe for success. Last year’s group allowed just 10 sacks and 76 total pressures according to FTN Fantasy. And the lone starter missing from last year is Mekhi Becton. They still maintain the more important core of Mailata, Jurgens, and Johnson. Johnson isn’t exactly a spring chicken, but he still performs at a high level after he allowed just 10 total pressures last season.

Tyler Steen will step up and replace Becton among the starters, but they did take some stabs on some late-round incoming rookies. Drew Kendall (Boston College), Myles Hinton (Michigan), and Cameron Williams (Texas) were all drafted on Day Three. Kendall has the most experience as an interior lineman while Hinton and Williams are better suited for the exterior. But they likely won’t get any playing time there unless there’s an injury to Johnson or Mailata.

2. Denver Broncos

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 67.7 (11^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 83.6 (1^st)

It does feel like most of the fantasy football industry views the Philadelphia Eagles and Denver Broncos as the top two offensive lines in the NFL. And I’m on board with that. If the Broncos have anything on the defending Super Bowl champs, it’s the fact the Broncos are returning all five starters for the 2025 season.

Quinn Meinerz catapulted himself into the conversation of being a top three right guard in the league and he earned 2024 first team All Pro honors. Combined with Ben Powers, those two make for one of the best guard duos in the league.

While this group didn’t get much else recognition, everyone was solid in their own right. Garrett Bolles and Mike McGlinchey elevated the Broncos to the best pass protection grade in 2024 according to Pro Football Focus. McGlinchey specifically turned back the clock allowing just 18 pressures and three sacks last year.

Continuity is certainly key especially with a young quarterback like Bo Nix. Sean Payton and company didn’t make any big splashes in free agency nor did they add any offensive linemen in the 2025 NFL Draft. Getting a full season of health from everyone may be hard to replicate for a second consecutive season. And even if there is some regression with this group and the offense, they can still grade out as a top eight team by the end of the season.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 65.7 (15^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 82.5 (2^nd)

It’s hard to believe that Tristan Wirfs can get any better but I still don’t know if we’ve seen his best season. In my opinion, he’s the best left tackle in the NFL right now. And he’s only 26 years old. He’s made the Pro Bowl four straight season, been All Pro three straight seasons (first team in 2024), he’s already won a Super Bowl, and the Bucs made him the highest paid offensive lineman in NFL history last August. And he’s worth every penny. Wirfs played 16 games last year and registered over 1,000 snaps. He allowed a total of 12 pressures and he wasn’t responsible for a single sack on Baker Mayfield. In fact, Wirfs was responsible for just one quarterback hit all season long. He achieved a 1.9% pressure rate, best among all offensive tackles.

The Bucs obviously feel pretty good about the rest of the group as well. They didn’t draft a single offensive lineman in the 2025 NFL Draft and this is after they lost a viable depth piece, Justin Skule, to the Minnesota Vikings.

A lot of this group is home grown and relatively young. Barton, Mauch, and Goedeke are all products of the Bucs last three draft classes and all three were either a first or second round selection. Ben Bredeson came over on a one-year deal prior to 2024, but he played well enough to re-sign with the team on a new three-year contract.

Does Tampa have some warts? Yes because they did allow 40 sacks last year. Which isn’t awful, it puts them right in the middle of the pack. But when we speak so highly of Wirfs and how elite he is, it does cast some doubt on the rest of the group when 40 sacks are still surrendered.

A big narrative for the 2025 season surrounds the departure of offensive coordinator Liam Coen, who took the head coaching job of the Jacksonville Jaguars. The good news for Tampa is that Kevin Carberry, the team’s offensive line coach, did stick around and remains in Tampa for the upcoming season.

4. Detroit Lions

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 78.4 (3^rd)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 68.4 (18^th)

The 2024 Detroit Lions truly had one of the best rosters in the league… At full health. It legitimately looked like at various points throughout the year they were the best team in the league and legitimate Super Bowl contenders. But injuries got the best of them and they fell short of those ambitions.

The offseason wasn’t particularly kind to them. Offensive coordinator, Ben Johnson, left the organization to become the head coach of their division rival, Chicago Bears. Additionally, the offensive line from a year ago obviously looks a bit different. Letting Kevin Zeitler walk? Fine. He was a phenomenal interior lineman in his prime, but he just turned 35 and joined the Tennessee Titans in an attempt to rebuild their offensive line.

The big surprise was the retirement of All-Pro center Frank Ragnow. His contract was a bit of a storyline this offseason because Ragnow was absent for OTA’s. The Lions made him the highest paid center in the league in 2021, but to the surprise of many he retired after just turning 29 years old during the offseason.

The good news for the Lions is that they did use a second-round draft pick, and a late-round selection on interior linemen. Tate Retledge (the 57^th overall selection out of Georgia) is poised to move over to center and replace Ragnow. But those are some huge shoes to fill.

The Lions O-line certainly lost more than it gained. They’re definitely still a top 10 group as they have one of the best tackle pairings in the league with Decker and Sewell. But Ragnow’s retirement creates uncertainty on the interior portion of the line as Detroit is projected to go with two rookies and Graham Glasgow wasn’t as reliable as he had been in previous years. This team is still a playoff contender but they’re lacking some aura from the group that looked outstanding in 2024 at full health.

5. Minnesota Vikings

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 65.9 (14^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 69.3 (15^th)

The Vikings were largely set in regard to the exterior portion of the line. They locked up Christian Darrisaw to a big-time contract prior to the 2024 NFL season. However, he did tear his ACL and MCL in the middle of the 2024 NFL season. Can he make a full recovery? In this day and age, absolutely. However, it’s no guarantee he’ll be 100% for Week 1. Brian O’Neill is more than serviceable on the right side of the O-Line and he earned Pro Bowl honors for the second time in his career last season.

The interior needed to be addressed. The Vikings released long-time staple to the group, Garrett Bradbury, following the 2024 season. Fortunately for the Vikings, they made quick work to patch up those holes by signing Ryan Kelly and Will Fries from the Indianapolis Colts. Fries did suffer a fractured tibia in Week 5 last year, but he was excellent prior to the injury.

Despite the strong signings of two former Colts, perhaps the biggest splash the Vikings made was drafting Donovan Jackson in the first-round out of Ohio State. Jackson was a big part of OSU’s national championship run last year. He earned All-American honors last year at the collegiate level and was a three-time all Big Ten player from 2022-2024. If Darrisaw is healthy and ready to go, the Vikings don’t need to throw Jackson into the fire by starting him on the outside. He actually fits quite well at guard to start off his career so his versatility is a commodity for this group.

Kevin O’Connell and Kwesi Adofo-Mensah did a great job quickly addressing some interior needs following the departure of Sam Darnold. Now they’ll finally get a good look at J.J. McCarthy and they’re providing him with one of the best offensive lines in football for the 2025 campaign.

6. Los Angeles Chargers

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 63.4 (21^st)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 73.2 (8^th)

The offensive tackle position is typically a big hole most teams try to fill. The Los Angeles Chargers certainly do not have that problem. The Bolts selected Joe Alt with the 5^th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and he had a pretty promising rookie campaign. He registered over 1,000 snaps and had a 79.4 pass protection grade in the regular season while allowing a total of just 22 pressures all year. On the other side of the line, Rashawn Slater missed only two games, but he earned Pro Bowl honors while playing 903 snaps and giving up three sacks. He graded out with a 90.4 pass protection score so by all accounts, the Chargers are set up for a long run with their offensive tackles. They’ll need to address Slater’s contract at some point, but they did pick up his fifth-year option.

The interior isn’t as talented, but it cannot be emphasized enough that the combination of Slater and Alt could be one of the best offensive tackle pairings of all time if they stay healthy. The Chargers brought in a couple veterans in Mekhi Becton, who had a very good year in 2024 with Philadelphia, and Andre James. James could make a push against either Bradley Bozeman or Zion Johnson. Personally, it feels much more likely he wins the starting center role as Zion Johnson hasn’t quite lived up to the billing as a former first-round draft pick.

The Chargers certainly want to implement a run-heavy approach on offense. The offensive line is certainly good enough to provide protection and keep Justin Herbert upright. The interior has some question marks, but the addition of Becton goes a long way and I imagine they also settle with Bozeman and James as the other two starters. This group is incredibly talented and could be at the top of the list for the 2026 version of this article if all goes according to plan with Slater and Alt.

7. Buffalo Bills

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 64.5 (17^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 74.7 (5^th)

If you’ve made it this far in the article, my hats off to you. But you’ll also recognize that I do tend to over-rank teams returning a lot of starters. This is the same starting five from a year ago so I’m going to rank them well for continuity. All of their starting offensive linemen registered 900+ snaps in 2024. Dion Dawkins was the only one who made the Pro Bowl initially and it was the fourth straight year he was given that honor.

The Buffalo Bills offensive line was responsible for just 14 sacks allowed which led the NFL for the second straight season. Specifically on the outside, Dawkins and Spencer Brown were responsible for only four sacks and 39 total pressures.

If there’s a weak spot it’s probably O’Cyrus Torrence who is entering his third year in the league. The Bills did bring in Kendrick Green to potentially apply some pressure to make him more consistent because they can’t afford to wait around much longer despite the overall success of this group.

8. Atlanta Falcons

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 82.8 (1^st)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 72.8 (T-9^th)

I had the Falcons ranked second overall as an offensive line heading into the 2024 season. If strictly looking at the run blocking and pass protection grades above, they did pretty well ranking top 10 in both categories for the whole year. The Falcons only allowed 32 sacks all year long but the offensive line did surrender 136 total pressures, which isn’t a great look. Per FTN Fantasy, the offensive line specifically was responsible for 20 of the 32 sacks, and 11 of those were credited to Jake Matthews and Kaleb McGary.

Matthews did get a two-year extension in the offseason but he’s also now 33 years old so regression could be in store. But overall, the players they’re at least returning were healthy for the most part in 2024. Between Chris Lindstrom, Kaleb McGary, and Matthew Bergeron those three missed just one game. All three registered over 1,000 snaps as did Jake Matthews.

The loss of Drew Dalman will hurt, even if he did miss eight games last year. But Dalman left for the Chicago Bears in free agency. Ryan Neuzil, who filled in for Dalman when he was injured, wasn’t great as he touted a 58.5 overall grade according to PFF. So if there’s a weakness on this offensive line, it’s definitely at the center position. I still hold this group in high regard because continuity is key and they’re returning plenty of the same guys from recent years and they’ve shown they can stay healthy for the most part.

9. Baltimore Ravens

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 63.9 (18^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 73.3 (7^th)

Everyone agrees that the Ravens have a good offensive line. The disagreement largely depends on where one would rank them in the top half of the league. I’ve seen a few rankings with the Ravens in the top five. Others have them in about the top 14 or so. I’m kind of splitting the difference.

If you’ll recall in the Tampa Bay section, where I did everything but erect a statue for Tristan Wirfs, I showed my cards in that I will simply bump up an O-Line a few spots if they have an elite left tackle. The Ravens certainly have one with Ronnie Stanley. Stanley was the 6^th overall draft pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. And I’ve noted in previous versions of this annual article, he cashed in at the perfect time. Back in October 2020, Stanley signed what was at the time the biggest contract ever given to an offensive lineman. Two days later he suffered a season-ending ankle injury. And every year since that injury I’ve basically said “I would love to see what this unit can be if Stanley stays healthy…” In 2021 he suffered another season-ending ankle injury. In 2022, he was able to play some games but still struggled with some injuries. 2023 he dealt with a knee injury all year but still managed to appear in 13 games. Finally, in 2024, we got a full season of Stanley. He made the Pro Bowl for the second time in his career. Was he as elite as he was back in 2019? No. He surrendered two sacks and 35 pressures on 575 pass protection snaps, but it was good to see him stay healthy for the most part. Stanley re-signed with the Ravens on a three-year contract in the offseason.

The rest of the offensive front was well above average as well. Per FTN Fantasy, Daniel Faalele and Roger Rosengarten each played over 1,000 snaps last year while allowing a total of just five sacks while anchoring the right side of the line. Tyler Linderbaum continues to improve with each year and more importantly, through three seasons he’s only missed two games. That consistency goes a long way for a center, and in general, this unit returns quality pieces from 2024.

I rank the Ravens high because if Ronnie Stanley can inch closer to his 2019 form that made him the highest paid offensive lineman in NFL history (at the time), then the sky’s the limit for this squad. But he’s also in his 30’s now and staying healthy has been a problem so I do want to remain a little transparent as to why I don’t have this group higher.

10. Green Bay Packers

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 62.2 (22^nd)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 82.1 (3^rd)

NFC North teams are often synonymous with having a good offensive line. The Green Bay Packers have long fit that bill. Even the Chicago Bears understand the need to fit that mold and we’ll get to their improvements later in the article.

Zach Tom had an outstanding season in 2024. It’s made all the more impressive when you consider he tore his pectoral muscle in April 2024 and missed a lot of the team’s offseason training program. Alas, he came through registering an 82.1 pass protection grade and a 90.0 running blocking grade while playing all 17 games. It’s a shame he wasn’t recognized for his high level of play with some postseason honors, but we’ll note that he’s clearly the best offensive lineman the Packers have.

Elgton Jenkins appeared in all 17 games last year and played mostly at the guard position but he’ll shift over and play center in 2025. He leaves a little to be desired as a run blocker but overall he’s a great interior linemen and a reliable option to be the guy that has to get the ball into Jordan Love’s hands every play.

Part of why Jenkins is moving to center is because Josh Myers departed in free agency to sign with the New York Jets. That’s not a big loss because Jenkins is arguably an upgrade. The Packers signed Aaron Banks from the San Francisco 49ers so that flexibility allowed the Packers to shift Jenkins.

If there’s a potential weakness it might be at left tackle. Rasheed Walker regressed a little bit from the upside he displayed in 2023. He allowed 36 pressures, three sacks, and four quarterback hits and ranked 42^nd out of 68 offensive tackles in pass-blocking efficiency among players who registered at least 300 snaps. There’s room for improvement, but the Packers initiated a backup plan in case there’s a repeat in 2025.

Green Bay used a second-round draft pick to select Anthony Belton out of North Carolina State. Belton provides versatility as he can play inside and outside. But he should be able to push for a starting job to start the season, but worst case scenario he provides some youthful depth for an already strong group.

11. Los Angeles Rams

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 76.8 (5^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 54.2 (30^th)

Injuries plagued the Los Angeles Rams and an early suspension to Alaric Jackson (two games) didn’t provide for a great start. But despite injuries they actually put together a great performance as a collective group in 2024. Jonah Jackson (now gone and with the Chicago Beaars), was a big free agent acquisition but he didn’t even register 300 snaps due to injuries.

Rob Havenstein was in and out of the lineup all season as he missed six games. But when he was active, he held down the right side on his own very well with a 74.1 offensive grade per PFF. When Alaric Jackson returned after serving his suspension he had a 78.3 offensive grade across 14 games and his pressure rate dropped to 4.4% so there’s even more room for improvement in 2025.

Kevin Dotson did well on the interior, but he played through a foot injury all year. Steve Avila, the Rams’ 2023 second round pick, regressed in run blocking while he also missed seven games. I still remain optimistic Avila can play at a very high level if he stays healthy.

Despite Jonah Jackson not returning, Jackson and Coleman Shelton are basically swapping places. Shelton actually has familiarity with this offense as he played with the Rams from 2019-2023 but joined the Bears last year. Shelton comes back to the Rams, and Jackson reunites with Ben Johnson in Chicago. Shelton’s return does actually elevate the continuity for this group and if there’s some positive regression in terms of injuries this group should finish as a top 12 offensive line in 2025.

12. Washington Commanders

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 57.8 (25^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 64.4 (22^nd)

The 2024 Washington Commanders, with Jayden Daniels as a rookie quarterback, exceeded everybody’s expectations as they made a run all the way to the NFC Championship. It’s one of those feel-good stories for the fanbase. And they did it all with a rather poor group manning the offensive line.

Now they do have some returning players and those names provide good depth. Tyler Biadasz doesn’t get a ton of accolades, but I’ve always been a fan of his dating back to when Dallas drafted him in 2020. Sam Cosmi also returns but he sustained a torn ACL in the playoffs so he may not be at 100% once the season begins.

The good news is that they have options. Brandon Coleman will likely shift to either left-or-right guard after the team acquired Laremy Tunsil from the Houston Texans. Additionally, the Commanders drafted Josh Conerly Jr. with the 29^th overall pick. So this team does have depth, but adding Tunsil is positively massive for the outlook of this team and you have options at your disposal at either guard position even if Cosmi isn’t ready.

13. Carolina Panthers

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 73.1 (8^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 69.4 (15^th)

After investing quite a bit of resources into the offensive line prior to the 2024 NFL season, I think it’s safe to say the Panthers moves paid off. The free agent additions of Damien Lewis and Robert Hunt were great moves as they both appeared in 16 games and per FTN Fantasy, they allowed 60 pressures. For a duo, that’s relatively decent but I expect that number to drop in 2025. 

Taylor Moton is about as solid as they come at right tackle. There’s nothing too flashy but he’s a former first round pick that posted an 80.8 pass protection grade with a 3.4% pressure rate.

This group is far better in terms of run blocking than pass protection. They finished top 10 in run block win rate last season while they were just 30^th in pass block win rate. A big problem is the development of Iken Ekwonu, who has been had flashes of elite play while also having some off weeks as well. In three years he’s given up 24 sacks and over 100 pressures on 1,800+ pass blocking snaps. The year-over-year progression shows improvement and the organization even picked up the fifth-year option on his rookie contract, but another knock against him is that he draws a lot of penalties.

This offensive line is clearly heading in the right direction under head coach Dave Canales’ staff. It’s hard to declare them a legitimate contender just yet in the NFC but last year was a big step in the right direction for the offensive line and the offense in general.

14. Chicago Bears

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 65.6 (16^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 72.8 (T-9^th)

It feels unfair to say, but this feels like a make-or-break year for Caleb Williams. New head coach? Check. Plenty of weapons at his disposal? Check. Efforts to upgrade the offensive line? Check.

The Bears had one of the surprise offensive line units in 2022. I recall having them ranked rather low three years ago but they broke through and were arguably a top 10 group across the league. But it’s been regression for two straight years. In 2023 they allowed 50 sacks (T-7^th most in the NFL) and then last year they allowed the most sacks of any team in the league with 68.

Braxton Jones and Darnell Wright return from a year ago and while they don’t stand out as an elite tackle duo, they’re far from the worst. Wright is now entering his third year in the league and carries the pedigree of being a former first-round draft pick. The Bears likely want to see more progression as he develops at right tackle.

The bigger moves came on the interior portion of the line. As a New England Patriots fan, I’ll never have a bad thing to say about Joe Thuney. The guy’s an absolute stud as an interior lineman and he’s protected two of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game and he’s coming off back-to-back first team All Pro seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Drew Dalman, who did get injured last season, comes over from the Atlanta Falcons to improve the play at center so hopefully he and Caleb Williams can get on the same page and build some chemistry. But a nice reunion is going to be Jonah Jackson coming over from the Los Angeles Rams. Jackson reunites with new head coach Ben Johnson after they spent a few years together with the Detroit Lions. Jackson does have some experience playing center last year with the Rams, but he fits this situation perfectly as a guard. 

With all the pieces in place, this will be a very telling year for the Chicago Bears to know what they have in their franchise quarterback.

15. Indianapolis Colts

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 76.9 (4^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 72.5 (11^th)

The Indianapolis Colts had a pretty strong offensive line last year. The problem for 2025 is that they’ll be without Ryan Kelly and Will Fries, who left in free agency. However, they still have two key pieces in Bernhard Raimann and Quenton Nelson.

Raimann has proven to be a quality left tackle in the NFL. He did miss three games last year but in total he gave up 20 total pressures and four sacks in 14 games with an 82.0 pass blocking efficiency grade per PFF. Quenton Nelson put any injury concerns behind him as he returned to playing at a high level. He has made the Pro Bowl in all seven seasons that he’s played in the NFL and he was named All Pro for the fifth time in his career. Needless to say, the left side of the offensive line is well above average.

Tanor Bortolini and Matt Goncalves step in to replace Kelly and Fries. Bortolini and Goncalves played sparingly across their rookie seasons. But can they step in for a full year and play at the level of Kelly and Fries? It’s an incredibly tough act to follow.

Ranking the Colts in this area seems fair. They’re certainly elite on the left side of the offensive line but every other position raises questions so I can’t put the Colts in the top 10 like I’ve done in recent years.

16. Pittsburgh Steelers

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 68.5 (9^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 60.8 (24^th)

The Pittsburgh Steelers offseason so far has been rather intriguing. The big headlines were obviously signing Aaron Rodgers to a one-year contract, which sounds like it’ll be his final season. But the Steelers also traded for DK Metcalf and locked him up to a long-term deal.

This team did nothing to address the offensive line in the offseason. Normally I would be rather critical. But this is a rare situation where I don’t necessarily think that’s a bad thing. For what it’s worth, I still hold Mike Tomlin and the Steelers in high regard. They have a great coaching staff and they possess a respected front office. They didn’t draft any offensive linemen. And free agency was quiet as well. In fact, they actually let James Daniels walk in free agency after he played just 209 snaps last year. They also didn’t re-sign Dan Moore Jr.

That tells me, that despite the injuries this team took on in 2024, they really like the guys they have. And this group is still relatively young all things considered. Broderick Jones still needs to prove that he was worth the first-round price tag in 2023. But Jones was drafted in 2023 while Frazier, McCormick, and Fautanu came in with the 2024 draft class. Frazier and McCormick filled in after the team endured some injuries and they did very well in their rookie campaigns.

So while it’s natural to rip a team to shreds over not addressing a position of need, I believe the Steelers really like the young guys they have. Sure, Jones does need to start elevating his play. And Fautanu, another first-round pick, was injured last season (played 55 total snaps). But Pittsburgh seems committed to this group and this feels like an offensive line that could really surprise people. 

17. Kansas City Chiefs

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 73.6 (7^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 70.7 (13^th)

The Kansas City Chiefs once again went to the Super Bowl last season but they were absolutely no match for the Philadelphia Eagles. As we head into the 2025 season, this is probably one of the worst groups in terms of name recognition for the Chiefs in the Andy Reid/Patrick Mahomes era.

There’s been plenty of controversy over the last few years regarding Jawaan Taylor’s pre-snap motion. To the naked eye, yeah it seems as if he’s jumping early any time Mahomes is in shotgun. But his movement is just very in sync with the center’s snap. It’s very close and sure, there are times it’s a clear false start. But a lot of the sequences are rather borderline and the refs stay off the whistle. I can respect that.

But left tackle finally caught up to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. The team addressed that need by using a late first round selection on Josh Simmons out of Ohio State. Jason Kelce recently said that Josh Simmons reminds him of Trent Williams. That’s incredibly high praise for a kid who hasn’t taken a snap at the NFL level yet. But I’ll at least concede that Kelce probably knows more than I do. He played in the NFL after all. I’m just an idiot with a laptop.

Trey Smith is coming off his first Pro Bowl season and the Chiefs made their intentions to keep him very clear as they placed the franchise tag on him. However, a big loss this team took was when they traded Joe Thuney to the Chicago Bears.

On the surface, it does look as if the Chiefs have some warts. They’ve certainly looked better as far as the O-line is concerned. But they have one of the all-time great head coaches in Andy Reid. And when it’s all said and done, Patrick Mahomes will go down as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. This duo, and the plays that are called, can likely do enough to mask any deficiencies of the offensive line whether that’s through plays that don’t require much time to develop, or Mahomes making things happen on his own. So while I don’t love the personnel, this is one of those situations where they can get a pass because I don’t believe the sack/pressure numbers are going to look all that bad once the season is over.

18. Jacksonville Jaguars

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 57.2 (26^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 66.7 (20^th)

It’s a new era in Jacksonville but there’s still work to be done with the offensive line. Liam Coen comes over as the new head coach and funny enough, he originally turned down the job this past offseason. It was only after the Jaguars fired GM Trent Baalke that Coen reconsidered and signed on with the Jaguars and delivered one of the most awkward “Duval” chants at his press conference. Regardless, Coen coming over is a good sign especially as the organization tries to get more out of Trevor Lawrence after signing him to a big extension.

In the middle of last season, the Jaguars traded Cam Robinson to the Minnesota Vikings. In his place, Walker Little was serviceable over the remainder of the year and he projects to start at left tackle to begin the 2025 season. The Jags also return both Ezra Cleveland and Anton Harrison for a little extra consistency from the 2024 season. Both were fine and registered over 900 snaps. Neither stand out as exceptional at their respective positions, but they’re good enough to go into the new age of the Jaguars as starters.

Now there are big changes in terms of coaching personnel. An underrated hire the Jags made was bringing in Shaun Sarrett as the new offensive line coach. Sarrett most recently was the assistant offensive line coach with the Minnesota Vikings so he knows plenty about the importance of a strong unit up front.

Mitch Morse retired in the offseason so the team brought Robert Hainsey over from Tampa Bay to tag along with Liam Coen. The Jags also signed Patrick Mekari from the Baltimore Ravens to step in as their new right guard. But don’t sleep on Wyatt Milum who was the team’s third-round selection out of West Virginia.

19. Arizona Cardinals

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 66.6 (13^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 75.8 (4^th)

You know what? Good for the Arizona Cardinals. I feel as if I routinely have them ranked very close to the bottom of this article most years. This is the highest I think I’ve had them in quite some time. This is definitely a team that may have played to their ceiling, but they did enough for me to rank them inside the top 20.

Paris Johnson Jr. was the 6^th overall draft selection in the 2023 NFL Draft and he definitely had a “Welcome to the NFL” type rookie season where he allowed 42 pressures in 17 games. For his Sophomore campaign, he did miss three games but allowed just 23 totals pressures and received an 80.8 offensive grade from Pro Football Focus which was highest among all offensive linemen on the Cardinals. On the other side of the line, Jonah Williams was also exceptional, but he only appeared in six games. For those who have followed Williams career dating back to being drafted by the Bengals, it’s been riddled with injuries. Either way, the Cardinals appear to have two great tackles, both previously taken in the first round, and that’s a great start.

On the interior, Evan Brown and Hjalte Froholdt both registered over 1,000 snaps. The weak point was right guard and it’s largely because Will Hernandez, who isn’t returning this year, only appeared in five games. Isaiah Adams and Royce Newman will likely compete for that vacant job.

20. New York Jets

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 67.4 (12^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 68.9 (17^th)

The New York Jets offensive line is still a work in progress. It kind of reminds me of the elevator in The Big Bang Theory. It never works, and the effort to make it work seems never ending. The PFF grades above look pretty solid but per Fantasy Points Data, in 2024 the Jets ranked 23^rd in pass block win rate and 29^th in run block win rate.

There is some consistency returning to this group so I’ll give them credit in that regard. John Simpson and Joe Tippmann appeared in all 17 games last year and played over 1,000 snaps each. Alijah Vera-Tucker missed two games but still saw over 900 snaps. So the interior is at least locked in for another season.

The Jets used their first round draft selection on Armand Membou who slots in immediately at right tackle. There were plenty of draft experts that believed Membou was the best offensive lineman in his draft class so that’s not a bad place to start for an organization that is once again hitting the reset button and starting over with a new head coach and quarterback.

21. Tennessee Titans

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 46.6 (31^st)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 60.1 (25^th)

This was one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL in 2024 but they made smart moves ahead of the 2025 season with a shiny new, young franchise quarterback in Cameron Ward. The relationship between the center and quarterback is an important one and Lloyd Cushenberry II was a big free agent signing ahead of the 2024 season. However, he did suffer an Achilles tear in the middle of last season so it’s not entirely clear how much action he’ll see in the preseason just yet.

But as far as acquisitions go for this past offseason, they went out and signed Dan Moore Jr. to step in at left tackle. Is it a good signing? Sure. Moore is an upgrade, but we should acknowledge he was responsible for a dozen sacks surrendered last year in Pittsburgh.

The Titans also brought in Kevin Zeitler, who in his prime was definitely one of the best guards in the game. Zeitler is still serviceable and was fine with the Detroit Lions last year. He provides a veteran presence and seems likely to line up next to JC Latham who shifts to right tackle, which is a spot he’s more comfortable in.

The pieces are nice and allowing Latham to shift to right tackle could pay dividends. Zeitler’s presence improves the offensive line but it’s a short-term play for now. The free agent market for offensive tackles was rather dry this offseason and the Titans couldn’t draft an elite option in the draft since they really needed a quarterback. So they probably overpaid for Dan Moore Jr. a bit. Time will tell how the offseason decisions play out.

22. Las Vegas Raiders

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 63.5 (20^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 69.9 (14^th)

The 2024 Las Vegas Raiders offensive line wasn’t anything special as it was clearly a transition year. The outlook this year isn’t much better and you have to wonder where the organization is going long-term. They hired Pete Carroll, who turns 74 in September, as their new head coach. They also traded for Geno Smith to be their new quarterback, and he turns 35 in October. To be clear, these can both be viewed as upgrades but at the same time, what is the long-term plan?

The Raiders gave up 50 total sacks last season which was tied for the 7^th-most in the league and they gained the fewest rushing yards in the league this year. And that’s always puzzled me in the fantasy football community. This offensive line is just okay, we kind of know what to expect with Pete Carroll’s offense, and they play in a pretty tough division. While I like Ashton Jeanty and Brock Bowers, I am surprised that this offense has two players going incredibly early in fantasy football mock drafts.

But I digress. I’m here to discuss the offensive line. This group is headlined by Kolton Miller, who is actually entering the final year of his contract. Miller routinely posts a pass-and-run blocking score on PFF above 70 and last year his pass protection grade was over 80. Now he did struggle through the first few games, but over the team’s final 13 games he allowed just two sacks and minimized the pressures. Jackson Powers-Johnson appeared in 15 games and became a fixture in the offense starting in Week 4. He allowed just 23 pressures and two sacks while playing all over the interior of the offensive line.

I struggle with the rest of the group, but I do like some of the pieces they added. For example, they brought in Alex Cappa, who has been good at the NFL level during his time in Tampa Bay. But last year with the Cincinnati Bengals, he was horrible. He allowed 51 pressures and 8 sacks across the whole season. For that reason, he likely isn’t guaranteed a starting job right away with Vegas.

The team also used a pair of third-round draft picks to bring in some youth in Charles Grant and Caleb Rogers. Rogers could compete for a starting opportunity on the interior and Grant could be utilized in a more versatile role if called upon. This isn’t really a terrible group but no one really stands out. Miller is certainly the best but his long-term situation is in the air with his contract set to expire after this season. But there’s plenty of depth here for this team to finish in the top half of the league’s offensive lines in a best case scenario. 

23. Dallas Cowboys

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 63.7 (19^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 62.1 (23^rd)

The Dallas Cowboys had a big gaping hole to fill after Zack Martin retired in the offseason. Martin was voted to the Pro Bowl nine times and he was a nine-time All Pro player, seven of which were first team honors. He’s absolutely going to get into the Hall of Fame, possibly on his first ballot.

That kind of player isn’t easy to replace. In fact, the Cowboys offensive line has seemingly been in free fall in recent years after losing La’el Collins, Tyron Smith, and now Martin. So with a new head coach, and no Zack Martin, this offensive line is basically hitting the reset button.

They’ve got the three Tyler’s projecting as starters and all are former first-round picks. Even Cooper Beebe was a third-round pick in 2024. So the core is relatively young but Beebe and Guyton really need to make some progress in 2025. Even Terence Steele isn’t necessarily a slam dunk after he gave up nine sacks and 41 pressures a year ago.

The Cowboys were pretty stellar in run blocking despite their grade from PFF. But according to FTN Fantasy, the Cowboys ranked fifth in run block win rate but they couldn’t effectively run the ball without a reliable running back.

With a new head coach and plenty of questions surrounding the offensive line, it’s hard to put Dallas in the top half of this article, which is where they regularly appeared for so many years.

24. San Francisco 49ers

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 80.0 (2^nd)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 72.0 (12^th)

As you can see from the PFF scores, the 49ers were solid in 2024 across the board. So why are they this far down the list? A good friend of mine, who is a 49ers fan, told me in a text “They’re getting to the point where the big contracts are becoming restrictive. They’re losing more than they’re able to add,” and this seems true especially after they gave Brock Purdy a massive extension in May of this year. So far this offseason, the 49ers traded Deebo Samuel and Jordan Mason. As far as the offensive line is concerned, they lost Jaylon Moore and Aaron Banks in free agency.

One player they didn’t necessary “lose” but who isn’t quite the same is Trent Williams. He will go down as one of the greatest left tackles ever and for a while he dodged Father Time. When Williams was on the field in 2024, he still played at a high level. However, he did miss seven games. He will turn 37 this year and who knows how much time he has left? Colton McKivitz is solid and probably would get more praise if he played on any other team. Alas, he plays opposite Trent Williams so when Williams is on the field, he tends to make everyone else look inferior by comparison.

The team did strike gold with Dominick Puni who was a third-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. He started all 17 games as a rookie, playing over 1,000 snaps. But in terms of the rest of the starters and depth, this group is certainly lacking and if Williams does start to age more then this group may grade poorly by the end of the year.

25. Cleveland Browns

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 50.2 (30^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 59.5 (27^th)

This is a bad ranking for the Cleveland Browns and I think I still might be too optimistic about the Cleveland Browns heading into 2025. This group is starting to get relatively old and they allowed the second-most sacks in the NFL last season (66), just behind the Chicago Bears.

Here’s my concern regarding the “aging” of this group. Jack Conklin turns 31 in August and he missed five games last year and this comes after he missed a large majority of the 2023 season with a torn ACL/MCL. In 12 games he allowed 27 pressures and four sacks with a 67.9 pass blocking efficiency grade per PFF. Joel Bitonio turns 34 in October and he’s in the final year of his contract. Now Bitonio was at least healthy all of last year but his effectiveness as a run blocker took a hit in 2024.

The other concern is with Dawand Jones who is entering his third year in the NFL. Now to be fair to Jones, his first two years in the league came to an end through injuries. Jones missed eight games a year ago but received a 57.6 pass blocking efficiency grade from PFF and an overall grade of 46.4. So there’s definitely room for him to get better and it looks as if he’s slated to enter training camp as the starting left tackle.

The Brown also had a very questionable draft class. They had positions that needed to be addressed on the offensive line (at the very least, they should’ve tried to get a little younger) and on defense. The Browns had seven picks in the draft and four of them were used on the running back and quarterback positions. They did add Cornelius Lucas who could potentially compete with Jones for the starting left tackle job. And they added Teven Jenkins for additional depth.

Kevin Stefanski and Andrew Berry aren’t idiots, and both are very good at their jobs. But it’s as if they’re playing with fire with the offensive line. It feels like the wheels might come off with this crew and it could be another long season for the Cleveland Browns.

26. New England Patriots

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 45.6 (32^nd)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 52.3 (31^st)

The Patriots had a lot of needs to address heading into the offseason. The Jerod Mayo regime lasted just one year and it certainly was an awkward situation. Mayo was handpicked by Bill Belichick to be his successor and he was beloved by the fanbase. But he wasn’t ready to lead a locker room, often threw the players under the bus, and just couldn’t coach them up well and they were wildly unprepared most weeks. So the Patriots go from one former-player-turned-head-coach to another.

Mike Vrabel gets the job he wanted and Patriots fans have plenty to be excited about that as he has previous head coaching experience and got the most out of the talent he had in Tennessee with some impressive playoff runs.

Big changes were also required of the personnel. The Patriots made multiple splashes in free agency to address the defense. That’s all fine and dandy but this is an offensive line preview article and the free agency market was rather barren when it came to offensive tackles, but the organization made due. They signed Morgan Moses to play right tackle at a moderately team-friendly three-year deal and they even signed Garrett Bradbury to a short-term deal to replace David Andrews at center.

The big splash was drafting Will Campbell with the fourth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft out of LSU. The knock on Campbell has been the arm length. But the organization was blown away during interviews, workouts, and they love the football IQ of this kid. Even if he doesn’t pan out at left tackle, he still projects as an elite interior lineman so he addresses a need either way.

This group still projects to be toward the bottom of the league but they’re taking steps in the right direction. They’ll likely need to address some offensive line needs again following the 2025 campaign because Bradbury and Moses are both on short-term deals and Cole Strange’s fifth year option on his rookie contract was not picked up.

27. New York Giants

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 59.7 (23^rd)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 57.6 (28^th)

I guess we can open up the discussion on the New York Giants with some positives. You really can’t get much worse than how poor this group played in 2023. As a team they allowed 85 sacks during the 2023 NFL season. That was 20 more than the next closest team. Last year they allowed the 11^th-most sacks in the NFL with 48. Still not great, but far better than the record-setting number from 2023.

This is such a crucial year for Brian Daboll. And I genuinely believe he’s one of the better offensive minds in the NFL and deserves to be a head coach in this league. But the offensive line has had plenty of struggles. We’ve seen enough from Evan Neal to officially label him a bust. Maybe he has a chance to stick in this league as a guard, but the Giants drafted him 7^th overall in 2022 to pair him with Andrew Thomas as an elite tackle pairing. Neal was limited to just nine games last year and will officially move to the interior of the offensive line.

Andrew Thomas is the key piece to the offensive line. If he’s 100% healthy, I truly believe he can be the best left tackle in the league, in discussion with Tristan Wirfs. He was All Pro in 2022 and prior to the 2023 season he signed a massive contract to remain with the Giants that gave him $67 million guaranteed. But he’s combined to play just 16 total games the last two years.

The health of Andrew Thomas is crucial to Brian Daboll’s job and the New York Giants success. I can’t imagine they really view Russell Wilson as an option for the full season. Daboll finally has a quarterback he believes can run his offense in Jaxson Dart.

Overall this group really wasn’t bad in 2024 and they return plenty of starters and depth pieces from a year ago so there’s at least continuity. But it all boils down to Andrew Thomas who needs to stay healthy for a full season.

28. Cincinnati Bengals

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 57.1 (27^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 66.8 (19^th)

Another season for the Cincinnati Bengals in the Joe Burrow era and it was another year where the offensive line was a struggle. And sure, the defense was atrocious and that led to some great fantasy football numbers for Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and even Mike Gesicki as the team was often playing from behind.

But work needs to be done once again for this offensive line. Ted Karras was the best of the group and more importantly, he played over 1,100 snaps as he stayed healthy for the full season. I can’t even say too many bad things about the 18^th overall pick from the 2024 NFL Draft, Amarius Mims. Was he great in his rookie season? No but he didn’t surrender many pressures. His biggest weakness is with run blocking where he received a 50.0 PFF grade.

The Bengals return three starters in 2025 with Karras, Mims, and Orlando Brown Jr. But the team didn’t make any big splashes to improve the offensive line even with Orlando Brown Jr. struggling at left tackle. Lucas Patrick came over on a one-year deal to potentially be the Week 1 starter at guard. And the team used a Day 2 draft pick to select Dylan Fairchild, Mims’ former teammate at Georgia.

The lack of a sexy move is why I’m down on them. But that is par for the course with the Bengals. Yes, they wisely paid Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase. They even managed to retain Tee Higgins as well. But negotiations with Trey Hendrickson have gone stale and the Bengals still have not signed their 2025 first-round draft pick, Shemar Stewart. I don’t know what it is, but there’s something about this organization that makes them an undesirable organization for free agents, and that includes the lack of big moves to really improve the offensive line for the upcoming season.

29. New Orleans Saints

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 67.8 (10^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 51.7 (32^nd)

The Saints only allowed 37 total sacks last year so it is a bit surprising they graded so poorly in pass protection. And year-over-year, it does seem like they made a nice move to address the offensive line in some capacity. With that said, not all the picks pan out.

Trevor Penning, for example, was a rather high draft pick (first round pick in 2022), but displayed massive maturity issues right away effectively being ejected from training camp and picking fights in his rookie season. He did not quite live up to the billing and will be moved to the interior portion of the line, and his fifth-year option was not picked up by the team so he’s likely leaving in free agency after this year.

Part of the reason Penning is switching to guard is because the team has invested more on the exterior with Taliese Fuaga (2024 first round pick) and Kelvin Banks Jr. (2025 first round pick). Banks projects as an immediate starter and Fuaga was good in his rookie year and they’ll move him to right tackle for the 2025 season. Now if you’ve read this article in the past, you’ll know that I once held the Seattle Seahawks in high regard for their young offensive tackle duo and Seattle’s going to be at the bottom of this year’s article. I’m really hoping the Saints hit on their picks because the combination of Banks and Fuaga could be a great building block for Kellen Moore’s offense.

Erik McCoy is a really strong, reliable center and Cesar Ruiz is perfectly fine as well. But I do have to remain objective in my assessment of the team. If Fuaga and Banks hit, then I’m clearly way too low on this team and I’ll definitely own up to that in next year’s article. But until then, it’s a bit of a transition year with a new head coach and quarterback. But there’s a very strong foundation here if Banks and Fuaga turn into the players the Saints drafted them to be.

30. Miami Dolphins

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 56.0 (28^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 66.1 (21^st)

The Miami Dolphins head into the 2025 season in a world of hurt. Truthfully, I thought about putting this team at the very bottom, but there are some positives that we can take away.

For starters, Terron Armstead retired following the 2024 at the age of 33. He had only spent three years with the Dolphins, but he was a Pro Bowl invitee in 2022 and 2023. Armstead missed two games last season but still played at an incredibly high level as one of the absolute best left tackles in the game. Armstead allowed just 16 pressures all season and earned an 89.4 offensive grade from PFF.

Patrick Paul is set to replace Armstead and he had plenty of struggles during his first year in the NFL. Paul only registered 338 snaps in his rookie year as he dealt with injuries. But mind you, he allowed 15 pressures and three sacks. Across a whole season, that’s a pace of roughly 45 total pressures and maybe nine or 10 sacks.

As I mentioned there are some positives. The team added James Daniels through free agency. Daniels is a bit of a question mark because he’s coming back from a torn achilles but he was playing great prior to that with the Pittsburgh Steelers. They also drafted Jonah Savaiinaaea who will start his NFL career working the interior after playing tackle in college.

The loss of Armstead will definitely hurt this team especially if Paul is slow to develop and fill his shoes. That will be a big storyline worth keeping an eye on ahead of the 2025 NFL season. Head coach Mike McDaniel is a smart enough guy to try to incorporate faster plays to avoid sacks on Tua Tagovailoa, a player with a history of concussions at the professional level. Losing a player like Armstead will be tough to recover from.

31. Houston Texans

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 57.1 (27^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 66.8 (19^th)

The Houston Texans offensive line regressed in the worst ways possible in 2024 and that led to an underwhelming season for C.J. Stroud after a phenomenal rookie campaign. Laremy Tunsil, easily the team’s best offensive lineman allowed just a 3.0% pressure rate on 659 pass plays. Tunsil played like one of the best left tackles in the league but the Texans traded him ahead of the NFL Draft to accumulate draft capital. Houston also released Shaq Mason who remains as a free agent. If we’re being honest, it was probably the right move to let go of Mason because he was pretty bad last season. Overall, the Texans allowed 54 sacks, which was tied for third-most in the NFL. So what direction did they decide to go?

The 2025 depth chart looks as if this team is just trying to plug up some leaks. They did use a second-round draft pick on Aireontae Ersey out of Minnesota. But free agency was rather dry for this team. Cam Robinson has always had the potential and pedigree to be an elite offensive tackle in the NFL. He’s had moments where he’s looked great. He’s also had performances and stretches where his talent was called into question. But to that point, Robinson’s only on a one-year deal. Moreover, Laken Tomlinson and Trent Brown also come over on one-year deals.

Specifically without Tunsil, this group is shaping up to really regress. You simply can’t view trading one of the best left tackles in the league as a positive. Perhaps they’re just trying to get through this season and find lightning in a bottle and it’s entirely feasible that Ersery works his way into the starting lineup. But I don’t have the best outlook on this team for the 2025 season.

32. Seattle Seahawks

2024 PFF Run Blocking Grade: 58.6 (24^th)

2024 PFF Pass Protection Grade: 60.0 (26^th)

My father, a Seattle Seahawks fan, won’t like this. But I close out the 2025 NFL Offensive Line Rankings with the Seahawks. And like many teams that I’m putting at the bottom, it’s not for lack of effort. If you’ve read this article in previous years, I liked the potential long-term outlook for the Seattle Seahawks. I thought the combination of Cross and Lucas had potential to develop into one of the better exterior duos in the league.

To his credit, Charles Cross wasn’t bad. In fact, he was pretty good. He allowed six sacks in 17 games, which isn’t elite but also far from the worst we’ll see from most left tackles. He earned an 81.3 pass blocking grade from Pro Football Focus. But anyone will tell you that, while he minimized the sack totals, he did allow too much pressure. Could negative regression be in store? It’s entirely possible.

The rest of the offensive line didn’t really move the needle. Abe Lucas and Olu Oluwatimi were okay when they were on the field. But neither cracked 450 snaps last year so aside from Cross, there weren’t many bright spots on this offensive line.

Through free agency the Seahawks added Josh Jones for some exterior depth. He’s a former third-round pick but he’s also now on his fourth team in as many years. The biggest splash they made came through the 2025 NFL Draft where they selected Grey Zabel from North Dakota State with their first-round pick. Zabel has experience playing on the outside at the collegiate level. However, he projects better moving to guard at the NFL level and Zabel/Cross could actually make a formidable left side pairing if Cross can improve upon the pressure numbers from last year.

The Seahawks did bring in a new quarterback to run this offense in Sam Darnold. But unfortunately for Darnold, he’s coming from having one of the best offensive lines in the league protecting him to potentially the worst of all 32 teams.
