THE New England Patriots have had a blatant need for offensive tackle for several years now, and while we are continuing our positional classification, this could be the most relevant group for the future of the team.
Despite the signature of Morgan Moses to maintain the right side, the left tackle stain remains wide open, and with the fourth overall choice, this could be there that the patriots make their movement.

Over the years, New England has tried to repair the tackle position with one-year offers, end-of-round choices and bins veterans. This approach did not work. With a class of deep offensive tackle, athletic and diversified in 2025, there is no excuse not to invest in a blind protector blind for Drake Maye.
There will be surprises in this ranking. I see players like Kelvin Banks and Will Campbell a little different from consensus, but I prioritized the projection, the band and the lines on conventional wisdom. Let’s dive into the top 10 offensive plated of this class.
10. Cameron Williams, Texas
At 6 feet 6 inches and 317 pounds with 11 hands of 3/8 inch and 34.5 inch arms, Cameron Williams is a massive and intimidating presence. Although it is not the fastest line player, he is a people of people in the race game with a rare grip force and raw power. When he picks up his punch, the defenders feel him. He flashes shocking representatives where he transforms the pass sets into pancake finishes, and he is surprisingly mobile to his size during climbing on the second level.

That said, it is really a development project. It leans at the waist instead of the knees, has balance problems in the protection of passes and can fight against the rushers of the change of direction. It is a real right tackle in an offense based on power – and if it is trained correctly, it could be a long -term starter.
9. Jonah Savaiaea, Arizona
Jonah Savaiaea is built as a reservoir – 6 feet 4 inches and 324 pounds with impressive movement skills and sports tests at all levels. It has a good arm length, powerful hands and an elite grip force. He is a patient blocker with natural timing, and he brings a calm behavior and composed to his sets of passes. His three years of initial experience in the PAC-12 have prepared it well for the jump to the NFL.
There are a lot of Darnell Wright in his game – a strong right tackle with a more and enough finesse to survive the speed rushers. But he finds it difficult to anchor regularly, and faster defenders can put himself under him or force weaknesses inside. He is a starter of day 2 who can immediately connect to the right for a team looking to stabilize the edge.
8. Charles Grant, William & Mary
Harmand of small school, Charles Grant is a former wrestler turned to the left who flashes large -scale features. At 6 feet 5 inches and 311 pounds, he is an excellent athlete with a good lever effect, a speed of foot and competitive driving. It is natural in the zone blocking patterns, with a high plug and the ability to reflect rushers at the college level.

That said, the FCS jump to the NFL competition is massive. It is always raw in its technique – in particular with its placement of the hands – and has a framework which can be difficult to transport more than 315 to 320 pounds in the long term. But the athletic profile, the athletic profile and the Grant development arc make it an attractive choice of day 3 for teams wishing to prepare it.
7. Ozzy Trapillo, Boston College
A local product of Massachusetts, Ozzy Trapillo represents an imposing 6 feet 8 inch and 316 pounds with 33 inch arms and an 81.5 -inch wingspan. His size and strength appear immediately on a band, and he combines this with good movement skills and tests above average. Trapillo plays with a solid base, a solid technique and excellent patience in the passes of passes. It is a straight tackle that can start as a recruit.
He needs to maintain a coherent pad level and become more aggressive on the second level, especially as a racing blocker. Its size can be a responsibility against speed rushers, but its foundation and its training (with a certain influence by Dante Scarnecchia) give it a strong blow to stay early.
6. Josh Conly Jr., Oregon
Josh Conerly Jr. is one of the most polite passing protectors in the class. At 6 feet 5 inches and 311 pounds with arms of 33.5 inches and 10,375 inch hands, Conerly has a well -balanced sporting profile. His movement skills and technique are ready for NFL. It is a fluid knee pebble with a great feeling of balance, range and timing.

Its greatest field of growth is in the race game – it must improve strength and maintain in the trenches. It can also be vulnerable to hesitation movements and meters inside if it is surpassing. But as a junior with high -level representatives and a clean leg play, it is a potential fly of day 2 with legitimate start -up traits.
5. Aireontae Ersery, Minnesota
At 6 feet 6 inches and 331 pounds, Aireontae Ersery is one of the most explosive offensive line players on the project. Its 40 vertical and wide jumps are all high level for its position. It is an athlete of athletics with a thick setting, a strong base and a natural anchor. Its durability also stands out – 38 consecutive departures in Big Ten.
His level of cushion and his hand timing can be incoherent, and he sometimes strikes too early, exposing himself to swimming movements. Lateral agility is not the elite, and it can become too straight or too aggressive. However, the natural power of Ersery, the finishing mentality and the IQ of football give it a high ceiling and the composition of a starter of day 2.
4. Josh Simmons, Ohio State
Josh Simmons is a mauler with a positional versatility and a tenacity of the NFL. At 6 feet 5 inches and 317 pounds, he has an impressive force and a functional athletics. It has a fast first step, powerful hands and a clean kick slide to manage the speed of the edge. He can play one or the other of the platform places and has a good spatial conscience to work both in Pass Pro and Run Fits.

Concerns? Injuries, penalties and tendency to get rid of. His hand investment still needs refining and his technique can collapse late in representatives. However, Simmons has the features to be a starter early, and if he can remain healthy, he is a choice of value with a starting potential on each side.
3. Armand Membou, Missouri
The rare combination of athletics and tenacity of Membou makes him a top three of my board. He is one of the most physically dominant players of this project – violent in contact, quickly of the snap and strong in its base. It is not yet refined, but you cannot teach raw tools. Whether in the right tackle or ultimately on the left side, Membou is a set of tone with all-pro.
2. Will Campbell, LSU
Will Campbell was a faithful on the LSU offensive line and one of the country’s most coherent blind protectors. At 6 feet 6 inches and 319 pounds, it is explosive, technically advanced and a natural leader. It has excellent recovery, treatment speed and anchor capacities.

The problem? His physical profile. He has short arms (32 5/8 ”) and a wingspan in the 1% lower historically (77 2/8”). This can limit its NFL ceiling as a left tackle. Some believe that he will get started to keep, where he could be the elite – perhaps better than Peter Skoronski, who had concerns similar to his release. But he proved that he can manage the advantage at a high level, and if a team wants a technician with an excellent band, Campbell is their guy.
1. Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas
Kelvin Banks Jr. is everything you want in a left tackle of franchise. It started 42 games for Texas, including their transition to the dry, and dominated high -level peak talents. At 6 feet 5 inches and 320 pounds with 33.5 inch quick arms and feet, Banks is technically healthy, explosive in space and has athletic features to correspond to the speed of NFL out of the edge.
He plays with an elite spatial consciousness, rapid mental treatment and has the strength of the hand to control repetitions early. Although it can browse the moments or fight with the fluidity of the hip, its general floor is solid at the rock. Banks can start day 1 and have the rise to be one of the best blind protectors in the League. If Abdul Carter and Travis Hunter are outside the board of directors, it is the choice at No. 4 for the Patriots, no question asked.
