  1. Alijah Vera-Tucker*, G/OT, USC
    Height: 6-4. Weight: 315.
    Projected 40 Time: 5.
    Projected Round (2021): 1-2.
    View Ranking History
    1/9/21: With Austin Jackson in the NFL, Vera-Tucker took over USC's left tackle and played well in limited action. Vera-Tucker was going to sit out the 2020 season before opting back in, and rejoining the Trojans helped him display the versatility to compete at guard or tackle in the NFL. Vera-Tucker was a good left guard for the Trojans in 2019 and has upside to develop for the next level.

    For the NFL, there is a lot to like about Vera-Tucker in pass protection. He is an easy mover with athleticism, quickness, and agility. He can glide with speed rushers with ease showing the ability to play the typewriter with his feet. Vera-Tucker is a natural knee bender who maintains good leverage while avoiding bending at the waist. Vera-Tucker looks like a starting left tackle or guard in the NFL and is worthy of being a first or second-round pick in the 2021 draft.

    In the ground game, Vera-Tucker is not a bull at the point of attack but he is effective. He is more of a wall-off-and-position blocker who beats defenders to a spot to cover them up and keep them from making a tackle. He does a nice job of scrapping and keeping his hands fighting to sustain his blocks. It would help Vera-Tucker to add strength if his frame isn't maxed out. For a pro rushing offense, Vera-Tucker might fit best in a zone-blocking scheme.



  2. Rashawn Slater*, G/OT/C, Northwestern
    Height: 6-3. Weight: 306.
    Projected 40 Time: 5.08.
    Projected Round (2021): 1-2.
    View Ranking History
    1/9/21: Slater decided to sit out the 2020 season, and that could hurt his draft momentum. Some are projecting him to the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, while some team sources say they have Slater in the second round.

    Slater is a good athlete who could play tackle, guard or center in the NFL. Given his lack of height and length, he might be a better fit on the inside at guard or center. With Slater's versatility and athleticism, he shouldn't get out of Round 2 during the 2021 NFL Draft.

    8/29/20: Slater has been a starting right tackle for Northwestern, but he projects to the NFL for a move inside to guard. His run blocking is ahead of his pass protection, but he could end up rising with a solid all-star game performance.

  3. Wyatt Davis*, G, Ohio State
    Height: 6-4. Weight: 315.
    Projected 40 Time: 5.42.
    Projected Round (2021): 1-2.
    View Ranking History
    1/9/21: Davis has been a bull in the ground game this season, but he also allowed sacks in each of the first two games of the season. His pass protection needs improvement. He can react late to blitzes and games up front while also having some issues with speed rushers. However, he has a good skill set and upside to get better. If Davis gets good NFL coaching, he could be an excellent pro guard.

    8/29/20: As a redshirt sophomore, Davis earned a starting spot on the offensive line for Ohio State and had a strong debut. He has good size to him and was a tough run blocker for the Buckeyes. He has real strength at the point of attack. For the NFL, Davis needs to get better at blocking speed rushers. As Davis gains his experience, his pass blocking could improve.

  4. Trey Smith, G/OT, Tennessee
    Height: 6-6. Weight: 320.
    Projected 40 Time: 5.32.
    Projected Round (2021): 2-3.
    View Ranking History
    1/9/21: In 2020, Smith played well for the Volunteers. He played his natural position of guard and was a steady blocker for Tennessee in both phases.

    8/29/20: Smith returned to the field in 2019 and was a solid left guard for Tennessee. It was a wise decision to return for his senior year and show that the blood-clot issue is behind him so NFL teams will have less of a concern there after two healthy seasons.

    Smith had a strong sophomore season for Tennessee prior to missing the final five games of 2018 with blood clots in his lungs. The issue first impacted Smith during workouts after his freshman season. After being held out for some time, Smith returned to practice in training camp and played the first seven games of the 2018 season while showing his impressive skill set for the Volunteers.

    In 2017, Quenton Nelson was the top offensive lineman in college football, but the second-best guard in the nation could have been Smith. Considering there were other good guards like Will Hernandez and Braden Smith who were second-round picks in the 2018 NFL Draft, that is really saying something for how Smith played as a freshman. Smith dominated at the point of attack and was extremely impressive when taking on Alabama. He looked like he was just scratching the surface with the upside to be even better with more experience. Smith played guard and left tackle for the Volunteers as a freshman.

  5. Aaron Banks, G, Notre Dame
    Height: 6-5. Weight: 330.
    Projected 40 Time: 5.33.
    Projected Round (2021): 2-4.
    View Ranking History
    1/9/21: Banks played really well for the Fighting Irish in 2020. He was a tough run blocker at the point of attack, using his size to help Notre Dame move the ball on the ground. He also was very reliable in pass protection. It was the second season in a row of good play out of Banks, who only allowed two sacks on 844 total snaps in 2019. For the NFL, Banks could be a better fit at right guard, but he has the flexibility to play on either side of the center.


  6. Ed Ingram*, G, LSU
    Height: 6-3. Weight: 315.
    Projected 40 Time: 5.31.
    Projected Round (2021): 2-4.
    View Ranking History
    1/9/21: Ingram impressed team evaluators in 2020. He was a tough run blocker while showing some athleticism in pass protection. Some team sources said as a player, aside from the character concerns, Ingram could be a second-day talent for the 2021 NFL Draft.

    8/29/20: Ingram is a gifted talent who could end up rising if he stays on the field and plays up to his potential. As a freshman in 2017, Ingram was the Tigers' starting right guard, and he played really well in his first season. Ingram sat out the 2018 season with a season-long suspension, so NFL teams will be grilling him about that in the leadup to the 2021 NFL Draft.

    Ingram returned to the field in 2019 and mostly was backup behind Adrian Magee and Damien Lewis. Ingram is strong at the point of attack and forceful run blocker with athleticism. If he stays on the field and out of trouble, he could be an early-rounder if NFL teams can get comfortable with his off-the-field issues.

    Projected 40 Time: 5.49.
    Projected Round (2021): 2-4.
    View Ranking History
    1/9/21: Hines is a heavy interior blocker who is a large load at the point of attack. He was a bright spot alongside Ed Ingram during the 2020 season, impressing some team evaluators. For the NFL, it would help Hines to loose some weight and improve his ability to handle speed rushers. Some sources believe Hines could have second-day potential for the 2021 NFL Draft.


  8. Jackson Carman*, G/OT, Clemson
    Height: 6-5. Weight: 345.
    Projected 40 Time: 5.65.
    Projected Round (2021): 3-5.
    View Ranking History
    1/9/21: Carman was a solid left tackle for Clemson in 2020, including putting together a good performance against Notre Dame. While he played tackle for Clemson, Carman's best fit might be as a guard in the NFL. That was given proof in the college football playoff, as Ohio State's edge rushers dominated Carman in a brutal performance.

    8/29/20: Carman is a big interior blocker who was very good for Clemson in 2019. It was his first season as a starter after serving as a backup at left tackle during his freshman season. Carman could be even better now that he has some experience. Dropping some weight for the NFL might be a good idea for Carman.

  9. Cade Mays*, G/OT, Tennessee
    Height: 6-6. Weight: 318.
    Projected 40 Time: 5.1.
    Projected Round (2021): 3-5.
    View Ranking History
    1/9/21: Mays played well in the first few games of 2020 before really struggling against Georgia. He was at right tackle for the Volunteers, but he looks like a guard for the NFL.

    8/29/20: Mays was a good starter on Georgia's all-star offensive line in 2019 and could have been the replacement for Andrew Thomas at left tackle for 2020, but Mays decided to transfer to Tennessee.

    Mays started seven games as a freshman in 2018 while also dealing with injuries. With his versatile size, Mays could fit at guard or tackle, and it will be interesting to see where he settles in at Tennessee. Mays is a strong run blocker with good size to create a push at the point of attack.

  10. Thayor Munford, G/OT, Ohio State
    Height: 6-6. Weight: 319.
    Projected 40 Time: 5.3.
    Projected Round (2021): 3-5.
    View Ranking History
    1/9/21: Munford has had a solid season for Ohio State. He is a decent college player, but he has not been especially dominant and has not always play up to his skill set. Munford accepted an invitation to play at the Senior Bowl.

    8/29/20: Munford was a candidate to be a potential early-round pick who entered the draft early, but in 2019, he was not that impressive and did not stand out by showing the skill set to be a franchise left tackle. In speaking with some team sources, they felt Munford did not make the case that he should skip his senior year and enter the 2020 NFL Draft. Thus, he was wise to return to Columbus.

    Munford needs to improve his technique and become more polished to take on pro edge rushers. He had an ugly outing versus Wisconsin in 2019 and could be better off moving inside to guard at the next level. However with the Big Ten canceling their season, Munford probably will enter the 2021 NFL Draft.

    Munford was a rotational backup as a freshman before breaking into the starting lineup at left tackle in 2018. The sophomore had some issues during his first year as a starter, and those might cause him to move inside to guard for the NFL. Munford also played with a hip injury as a sophomore, and he missed the game against Maryland with a leg injury. He then missed the Rose Bowl with another injury.

    1/9/21: Newman started some start at right tackle for the Rebels in 2020, and while he held his own, he is a guard for the NFL. Newman accepted an invitation to play at the Senior Bowl, and he could be a riser with a good week of practice in Mobile.

    8/29/20: Newman had an impressive junior year as Ole Miss' left guard. He did a very good job in pass protection, being credited with only one sack allowed on 416 pass blocks. It was his first season as a starter, so Newman could be even better now that he has some experience. He could stand to get stronger and fill out his frame for the NFL.

    1/9/21: Anderson could have been a mid-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, but he went back to Texas Tech. While he played well enough to earn a Senior Bowl invitation, team sources say that Anderson's play looked soft as a senior. That is about the worst adjective a scout can use for an offensive lineman. Thus, Anderson needs a strong week of practice in Mobile.


  16. Stewart Reese, G, Florida
    Height: 6-5. Weight: 345.
    Projected 40 Time: 5.58.

    1/9/21: As a graduate transfer, Reese reunited at Florida with former Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen. Reese was a good right guard in 2020. He looked improved as a pass protector and was a steady run blocker.

    8/29/20: Reese has been a starting right tackle for Mississippi State, but NFL advance scouts listed him as a guard for the next level. Reese could be a power right guard who is a good contributor to a ground offense. His limitations in pass protection wouldn't be as painful on the inside of the line.

In his opening season, Jones played well enough for the NFL advance scouts to place him on their pre-draft watch list for the 2021 NFL Draft. Jones could be better now that he has experience. He has a good build with NFL size and athletic upside. Jones could be a sleeper who rises, and performing well at an all-star game would help him.

    1/9/21: Hutcherson had a nice game against Vanderbilt early in 2020, but he was not as good against Florida. Moving to the inside could be best for Hutcherson in the NFL.

    8/29/20: Hutcherson should probably slide inside to guard for the NFL, but he starts at left tackle for the Gamecocks. He broke onto the field as a full-time starter during his redshirt sophomore season at right guard. Hutcherson moved to left tackle in 2019.

    Hutcherson could lack the length and agility for left tackle in the NFL. His run blocking is ahead of his pass protection. However, his ability to play guard and tackle could make him a valuable sixth offensive lineman on game days in the pro ranks.

    1/9/21: Foxworth dealt with COVID-19 during fall camp but played most of the games in 2020. It hurts Foxworth to have fewer all-star games available.

    8/29/20: Foxworth has a strong build, and he has been a good blocker for Southern Miss the past few seasons. The NFL advance scouts placed Foxworth on their preseason watch list, and he has versatile size to play either guard position and could also get cross-trained at center.

    1/9/21: Meinerz hasn't been helped by the lack of DIII football and the loss of all-star games in the coming offseason.

    8/29/20: It takes a lot of impressive play on tape for a Division III offensive lineman to make it onto NFL teams' preseason watch list, and Meinerz was able to accomplish that feat for the 2021 NFL Draft. Meinerz has NFL size and strength, and if he can get to an all-star game and play well there, he could rise into the top half of the 2021 NFL Draft, as a number of small-school offensive linemen have risen from an impressive postseason.

Brown is a load at the point of attack with the strength to open holes in the ground game and is a steady pass protector.
