| Rank | Rank Movement | Player | School | Height | Weight | Grade | Comp | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Stayed | Troy Fautanu |  |  | 6'4" | 317 | 72% | What people thought Peter Skoronski was | Troy Fautanu in our opinion is the best offensive lineman in this year’s class. Despite being a LT a majority of his college career, Fautanu does have a couple games experience at Guard. Before moving Fautanu to the IOL Rankings he was our Top Ranked Tackle. We moved him because we believe he could be a better guard, but we expect him to succeed wherever his home ends up being on the offensive line. |
| 2 | Stayed | Zak Zinter |  |  | 6'6" | 309 | 67% | Will Hernandez | Zak Zinter is definitely worth a first round selection. It’s really unfortunate that he suffered that leg injury in “The Game”. It reminds us very much of 2022 Draftee Andrew Vorhees. Despite being a first round talent, he is going to fall due to the injury. All we can say is whoever takes a shot on him on Day 3(possibly 2?) is going to be very, very happy when he’s recovered. |
| 3 | Stayed | Kingsley Suamataia |  |  | 6'5" | 326 | 67% | Shades of Penei Sewell | Kingsley Suamataia is the first round offensive lineman it feels like no one is talking about. Suamataia is a prospect that reminds us(in shades) of Detroit Lions Pro Bowl OT Penei Sewell. He’s a prospect that we believe will make a move to the interior of the offensive line based on size and tape, but could absolutely stay at tackle and still be a first rounder. He does a lot of things well. The biggest challenge facing us while scouting him was that BYU helps their OTs in pass pro with a lot of chipping from either their TE or RB. It was the same thing when we scouted Blake Freeland last year. When Suamataia wasn’t getting help his pass pro felt very inconsistent, which is in part why we believe a kick to the interior could be great for him. |
| 4 |  6 | Sedrick Van Pran |  |  | 6'4" | 298 | 56% with upside | Stefen Wisniewski | Updated 4/25/24: Our original summary still stands true. SVP is not ready to play yet, technique wise and mechanically he needs work, which sucks because he’s the leader any OL unit would kill to have. As a prospect, he is exactly what we saw at the Combine. Some plays he’ll look like the best linemen on the field and other times he looks like he needs a lot of work. We believe someone will take a chance on him earlier than the tape suggests he should go. |
| 5 | 1 | Cooper Beebe |  |  | 6'3" | 322 | 60% with upside | More Athletic Jamaree Salyer | Updated 4/24/24: It would be truly hard for us to bump his grade up too much based on Combine drills alone, but when our concerns with Beebe was mobility and he showed up to the Combine 13 lbs lighter and looking the way he did in drills it’s hard to say anything other than he’s trending up. We think if Beebe continues to improve and look how he did at the Combine the future could be very bright. |
| 6 | 2 | Jackson Powers-Johnson |  |  | 6'3" | 328 | 63% | Michael Onwenu | Updated 4/25/24: Jackson Powers-Johnson is a better prospect upon a rescout than we saw in our original scout. That being said, some of our original summary still stands true. His footwork and lateral movement in particular are still worrisome to us. We were hoping to see improvements at the Combine, but we were far from impressed by his day in the positional drills. We think he can be a good starter for most teams, but to get the most out of him we want to see a run heavy team draft him. Let him move forward rather than get caught on his heels and see what he can do. With our concerns, JPJ could be a boom-or-bust prospect. |
| 7 | 4 | Beaux Limmer |  |  | 6'5" | 302 | 55% with upside | Josh Myers | Beaux Limmer is a solid Center prospect in this year’s class. He moves well, and still has the strength to handle taking on a 0-tech NT. The thing about Limmer is that he’s not a polished prospect, but with that being said we also believe that he is raw; we see potential there for him to develop into a starter. His height is the biggest concern due to the potential to lose the leverage battle. Most of his issues stem more from inconsistency than a true lack of ability to do any one thing. |
| 8 |  4 | Blake Fisher |  |  | 6'6" | 310 | 64% | Andrus Peat | Blake Fisher played RT for the Fighting Irish, and could continue to play tackle as he transitions to the league, but when we watched the tape it just felt like Fisher would be a better interior line player. Fisher is a better run than pass blocker, and the issues seem to stem from his lower body technique and mechanics. All correctable, but we believe Fisher is a player that can play from day one, but we worry about his ability to be left 1 vs. 1 against the league’s top edge players. At least at guard he would have a body on either side of him. |
| 9 | 4 | Drake Nugent |  | | 6'1.5" | 298 | 61% | Luke Wypler | Drake Nugent as of this moment is our top ranked Center prospect. He’s got good lower body mechanics between his footwork and lateral movement. He moves well and could pull if asked, but he’s not super quick. Strength is in question at times on film, but it’s not super weakness. A situation where he could maybe sit a year and develop more strength would be great for him. The biggest area to improve for us is second level run blocking. There’s inconsistencies getting his hands on or sustaining. |
| 10 | 3 | Graham Barton |  |  | 6'5" | 313 | 58% | More Aggressive Matthew Bergeron | Graham Barton is a prospect that we didn’t hate, but also don’t understand why he’s CBS Sports 38th ranked prospect. Barton is everything you want in a lineman, he’s aggressive with a mean streak, who moves/transitions well. Everything about his tape to us suggests a move to the interior of the offensive line although if need be could probably be okay at tackle. The aggression is all well and good, but it creates some issues at the same time. His aggression leads to less body control and very uncontrolled movements, along with a lot of grabbing, just a couple things to clean up. We view Barton more as a mid round gem with potential than a top tier prospect. |
| 11 | 2 | Dylan McMahon |  |  | 6'3" | 299 | 58% | Drew Dalman | Dylan McMahon may be one of the smallest Center prospects we’ve ever seen, he literally looks like a TE. His measurables and how small he looks on tape don’t even match up. When you look at Centers of similar size they look bigger than him. As a result he struggles to hold his own in pass pro, and even when he is he can’t sustain it as long as others. On the flip side though, he’s a big time effort player. He “excels” when he’s out in space, like he’s a good second level blocker, but it depends on if he can get off the line to get there. |
| 12 | 1 | Zach Frazier |  |  | 6'3" | 313 | 55% | Luke Fortner | Updated 4/25/24: We liked Frazier a decent amount more than we did in his original scout. We started off with the Pitt film which makes him look like a potential first rounder, but when you get into the Penn State film we saw a lot of the same. It looked like he was overpowered most of the game. For better or for worse, Frazier could possibly start for someone on Day 1, but you’ll probably get a mixed bag like the Jags did with Fortner where you will have to bring in a vet a few years down the road. The other option is draft him as a down the line successor because we do think he could be a starter with some time. |
| 13 | 1 | Isaiah Adams |  |  | 6'4" | 315 | 50% | Cordell Volson | Isaiah Adams is a player that has positional flexibility from his time as an Illinois Fighting Illini. We have not had a chance to find and watch a game where he played guard yet, but we can get a pretty good feel for what he’d be capable of and believe that’s where he’ll end up at the next level. For a tackle of his size he moves well(as seen on pulls) mixed with some really nice flashes of what his footwork could be. It does need work, particularly with his lateral movement, but you can see the potential is there. He’s better in pass pro than at run blocking, but it’s due to him struggling to get hands on and securing blocks. Which again, has to do some with his footwork. Could be something down the line. |
