All 32 NFL teams are searching for more offensive line depth, specifically at offensive tackle.
And with as many as five potential first-rounders, the 2019 crop of offensive tackles is quietly one of the stronger positions in this year’s NFL Draft. The intrigue of the group might be: who will be the first tackle drafted in April?
I polled 12 people (six NFL scouts, three agents and three media members who I consider plugged in) and asked that very question.
Oklahoma’s Cody Ford led the way with five votes, followed by Alabama’s Jonah Williams with three votes and Florida’s Jawaan Taylor and Washington State’s Andre Dillard tied with two votes each.
These rankings are based on tape study and all-star games and will be updated and expanded after the scouting combine (along with testing numbers and round projection). The number in parentheses after each prospect’s date of birth is his age (to the nearest hundredth) on draft day.
