1. James Daniels, G, Steelers. Age: 27.
Signed with Dolphins (3 years, $24 million)

James Daniels is one of the top guards in the NFL, but played only four games last year because of an Achilles tear.

2. Trey Smith, G, Chiefs. Age: 26.
Franchised by Chiefs

Trey Smith is one of the top guards in the NFL. He’s great in pass protection and even better in run blocking.

3. Teven Jenkins, G, Bears. Age: 27.
Signed with Browns

Teven Jenkins is an outstanding guard who has improved each year. Durability is the only issue with him.

4. Will Fries, G, Colts. Age: 27.
Signed with Vikings (5 years, $88 million)

Will Fries was performing as one of the top guards in the NFL to start 2024, but was lost for the year with a leg injury.

5. Dalton Risner, G, Vikings. Age: 30.

Dalton Risner missed half of 2024 with a back injury. He returned and was terrific in pass protection.

6. Kevin Zeitler, G, Lions. Age: 35.
Signed with Lions (1 year, $9 million)

Kevin Zeitler has been a tremendous guard for many years, but at 35, regression will be coming soon.

7. Will Hernandez, G, Cardinals. Age: 29.

Will Hernandez was sorely missed last year after suffering a season-ending knee injury in October.

8. Mekhi Becton, G, Eagles. Age: 26.
Signed with Chargers (2 years)

Mekhi Becton was a bust as a tackle, but found a home as a guard. He played well last year as a run blocker.

9. Aaron Banks, G, 49ers. Age: 27.
Signed with Packers (4 years, $77 million)

Aaron Banks is a solid run blocker and adequate in pass protection.

10. Evan Brown, G, Cardinals. Age: 28.
Re-signed with Cardinals (2 years, $11.5 million)

Evan Brown is a quality pass protector, though his run blocking needs improvement.

11. Patrick Mekari, G, Ravens. Age: 28.
Signed with Jaguars (3 years, $37.5 million)

Patrick Mekari began last year starting at right tackle. He didn’t play well, but then moved to left guard and was much better at that position.

12. Brandon Scherff, G, Jaguars. Age: 33.

Brandon Scherff used to be one of the top guards in the NFL. He’s not nearly the same player now, but he can still pass protect well.

13. Greg Van Roten, G, Giants. Age: 35.
Re-signed with Giants (1 year)

Greg Van Roten is an aging player, but he did fine in pass protection last year.

14. Austin Corbett, G, Panthers. Age: 29.
Re-signed with Panthers (1 year)

Austin Corbett moved to center last year, and it didn’t go quite well, especially when he suffered a biceps tear.

15. Lucas Patrick, G, Saints. Age: 32.
Signed with Bengals

Lucas Patrick was better than expected in pass protection last year.

16. Jon Feliciano, G, 49ers. Age: 33.

Jon Feliciano missed all of 2024 because of a knee injury. He should be able to bounce back in 2025, but age is a concern now.

17. Zack Martin, G, Cowboys. Age: 34.

Zack Martin was once one of the top guards in the NFL, but he has suffered so many injuries lately that he hinted at retirement this offseason.

18. Alex Cappa, G, Bengals. Age: 30.
Signed with Raiders (2 years, $11 million)

Alex Cappa has regressed in recent seasons, and he was particularly awful last year. However, he’s just 30, so he could have another decent season or two.

19. Shaq Mason, G, Texans. Age: 32.

Shaq Mason’s skills have eroded in recent years, but he wasn’t bad in pass protection last year.

20. Dillon Radunz, G, Titans. Age: 27.
