1. Anton Harrison

6’4″ 315

Round: Early 1

Grade: 85% (Perennial pro bowler with at least a one All-Pro selection with potential

to have multiple All-Pro selections)

Comp: Tristan Wirfs

Summary: Harrison is a great run blocker at the first level. He makes the best initial contact of anyone in this year’s class that I’ve watched so far. He moves well getting to the second level and most of the time is great blocking at the second level as well. He’s a great pass blocker who’s awareness for blitzes and stunts is great, but even better he can kick slide to block a blitzing slot CB. His ability to pull is amazing with how well he moves.

2. Broderick Jones

6’5″. 311

Round: Early- Mid 1

Grade: 73.4% (At least a 1x pro bowler with multiple pro bowl potential)

Comp: Trent Williams

Summary: Jones is a tackle prospect I thought was going to look raw when I watched him. Although there are aspects of his game that are still raw/undeveloped, he as an overall prospect was more refined than I would’ve thought. I think when you look at the position-specific traits like run blocking, pass blocking, blitz/stunt pickup, pulling, etc Jones looks really good. It’s when you look at the technical parts of his game, such as footwork, that I look and think he could use some NFL coaching and development.

3. Paris Johnson Jr.

6’6″, 313

Round: Early 1

Grade: 79.7% (Perennial pro bowler with All-Pro potential)

Comp: Tyron Smith

Summary: When I watched Johnson’s 2022 tape at left tackle for the Buckeyes, I was really impressed. He looked like he had really good footwork and moved really well. Most of what I saw from him in 2021 at guard stayed true when I watched his tackle tape: really good puller, gets to the second level with case, strong initial contact, etc. In terms of stunt pickup, it looked like he wasn’t seeing blitzes as well, but he also wasn’t missing them. He did pick it up, he just didn’t see it right away. I primarily recognized this when it came to like nickel blitzes and stuff like that where there is more field to see than at guard.

4. Darnell Wright

6’5”, 333

Round: 1

Grade: 70.3% (Top tier starter with pro bowl potential)

Comp: Penei Sewell

Summary: Wright is a good, not great, first level blocker but is extremely smooth in transition to the second level and secures his blocks with minimal-no issue. He is strong in pass pro for the most part, but he can beat himself sometimes. Meaning, he kick slides too far sometimes, in line with or deeper than the QB dropped, which makes it a much easier path to sack the QB. When Wright slides and then stands strong in pass pro he looks really good.

5. Blake Freeland

6’8″ 302

Round: Late 1- Mid 2

Grade: 65.6% (Great starter with potential to be top tier)

Comp: Spencer Brown

Summary: Freeland is a super athletic, really fluid moving tackle prospect this year. Freeland was by far one of the biggest winners from the combine after dominating pretty much every athletic test as well as the positional drills. Freeland is a good first level blocker with a real strength when doubling down. He’s really smooth when working his way up to the second level, but can’t always secure his block. Overall though, Freeland shows some inconsistency through his film while he’s out in space.

6. Cody Mauch

6’5″, 302

Round: Late 1- Early 2

Grade: 63.2% (Good starter with high ceiling. Potential depends on his development)

Comp: Bernhard Raimann

Summary: When you watch Mauch’s tape you can very clearly tell he was a TE or at least I could. His lack of experience at offensive tackle would show itself in his tape every once in a while. That’s not even a negative though. To me when a player like this, who has only been playing his position for a short time, comes out it’s more of a positive because it means they are raw and have the potential to be developed through your coaching and into your scheme. He does have inconsistent tape, but it happens to even the best of prospects. Despite only playing tackle for two full years, I felt like Mauch was one of the most technically sound offensive line prospects I’ve watched this year so far. Obviously, Mauch has some “flaws” in his game, but they can be developed, I think it’s just the inexperience. One of the notes I have is that I would like to see him stand stronger in pass protection.

7. Wanya Morris

6’5”, 307

Round: Mid-Late 2

Grade: 64.7% (Great starter with potential to be a top tier starter)

Comp: Dion Dawkins

Summary: His kick slide technique looks good, he takes short choppy steps as he drops back; however it can be inconsistent. Sometimes his short choppy steps literally look like he’s running backward. Another technical issue I noticed was his hands. His hands weren’t bad, it is more so a question of consistency than anything. Morris needs to work on his “strike point”. Due to an inconsistent strike point and not controlling his defender after contact, Morris can be a penalty risk. However, Morris moves extremely well in all aspects of his game: his kick slide, moving up to the second level, pulling, in all aspects he just looks like he’s quick. Morris also does a really nice job of keeping a strong center of gravity. He doesn’t reach for his blocks with his upper body often.

8. Dawand Jones  

6’8”, 374

Round: 2

Grade: 61.1% (Starter with the potential to be a great starter)

Comp: Mekhi Becton-ish/ Shades of Trent Brown

Summary: Jones is a pretty good run blocker at the first level and is very solid in pass pro. He uses his hands well and makes strong initial contact although it can be inconsistent. He is a top heavy prospect who reaches way more than you would like to see. Jones reaching could be much worse than for a different offensive line prospect. Jones needs to learn to keep a “proud chest” and strong center of gravity. My guess as to why he reaches is because his foot work needs a decent amount of work.

9. Matthew Bergeron

6’5”, 318

Round: Late 2

Grade: 58.8% (Higher end backup with starter potential)

Comp: Luke Goedeke

Summary: Bergeron is another one of those linemen who has a super high motor and plays through the whistle. According to NFL.com’s profile on Bergeron, he’s a pro bowl caliber run blocker with inconsistent pass blocking. Although I think Bergeron is a really good run blocker I don’t know that I would call it pro bowl caliber. I think he’s a pretty strong first level blocker who’s extremely good on a down block double. He’s also smooth getting to the second level, and most of the time is able to secure his block. In pass pro, he has a tendency to give up too much ground sometimes. His footwork is also pretty wildly inconsistent. There are very few pass pro reps that look similar to one another.

10. Jaelyn Duncan

6’6″, 306

Round: Late 2- Early 3

Grade: 58.8% (Potential starter… personally, I think he could benefit from sitting at the beginning)

Comp: Alex Leatherwood

Summary: Jaelyn Duncan is an offensive tackle prospect who probably needs more time than everyone thinks. He is a very good run blocker at both the first and second levels of the defense. He is very solid when he has to pull. He is definitely a better run blocker than pass blocking, and the difference in skill is fairly significant. Duncan outside of the run game is an average prospect at best. He has inconsistencies in nearly all the technical aspects of his game.

11. Warren McClendon

6’4”, 306

Round: 5

Grade: 54.3% (Great backup with starter potential down the line)

Comp: Chukwuma Okorafor

Summary: When McClendon is able to put everything together and look technically sound he looks really good, but he has technical concerns. McClendon wants to deliver a blow when he makes contact with you, but he doesn’t have a specific “strike point”. Most lineman are taught to strike the defensive lineman’s pec area and to fight for inside control because the man with hands inside has control. McClendon doesn’t strike the same area consistently. His footwork is another thing that could use work. His kick slide and football specific foot work doesn’t look too bad, but his general foot speed doesn’t look good at times.

12. Ryan Hayes

6’6”, 298

Round: 4-5

Grade: 57.2% (Higher end back up who could be a good filler with starter potential)

Comp: Mike Remmers

Summary: Hayes is a high effort player who plays through the whistle. He is a good, not great, first level blocker who works up to the second level with ease, but could definitely work on securing second level blocks. On his first level blocks though, I will say that he doesn’t always attack his man. He catches much more than you would like to see. He is however much more aggressive on down blocks.
