(Last Updated: April 16, 2020)
1. Jedrick Wills, JR, Alabama
Jedrick Wills was a highly touted recruit who dominated as soon as he took the field for the Crimson Tide. Fast and strong, Wills has incredibly fast hands and feet for a 312 pound tackle, and has as loose of hips as you'll find from a tackle. His power and balance are elite, and he's going to be as quick as a lot of the smaller defensive ends across from him. While he's only 6'4", Wills won't need to move to guard because of his 6'11" wingspan and quick feet. Despite being exclusively a right tackle, remember that his quarterback was a southpaw, meaning he was protecting the blindside like most left tackles. The big thing holding Wills back is instincts and tendency to overextend in pass protection.

13 games played, 2 years as a starter at RT. All-America 2nd Team, All-SEC 1st Team
2. Tristan Wirfs, JR, Iowa
Entering the combine, people knew Wirfs was a well coached, hard nosed blocker, and a good athlete. After the combine, they knew he was a freakish athlete. At 6'5" 320 pounds, Wirfs ran a 4.85, and led the position with a 36.5" vertical and 121" broad jump. While athletic measurables don't directly translate to any skills a lineman needs, they are heavily correlated with NFL success. Wirfs has the strength for guard, but the athleticism and length of a left tackle. He'll likely play on the right side in the NFL, and is great in move-blocking and a zone blocking scheme. His form could use some tightening up, but most issues on film are correctable with coaching. Wirfs is a hard worker with a high football IQ, elite athleticism, and 3 years of experience on a talented offensive line.

13 games played, 2.5 years as a starter at RT/LT. All-America 2nd Team, All-Big 10 1st Team
3. Andrew Thomas, JR, Georgia
Andrew Thomas was a big time player from day 1 on one of the best offensive lines in the nation. Thomas is as technically sound of an offensive lineman as you'll find, and plays well beyond his years. He is the most NFL-ready lineman in the class, having success defending the best speed and power edge rushers in college football. He uses a powerful base and strong hands to knock defenders off course, and has the right mindset for a gritty NFL tackle. He also has elite length for the position, with a nearly 7'0" wingspan despite standing just 6'5". Thomas isn't the most athletic lineman which can limit his ceiling, but he's ready to be a solid left tackle from day 1.

4. Mekhi Becton, JR, Louisville
The immense size and strength of Mekhi Becton is very intriguing to teams, especially considering he was one of the faster linemen at the combine, running a 5.10 at 364 pounds. He is a natural in run blocking, uses his power and strong base to open up huge holes. He takes up a lot of space and has experience playing left tackle, which is rare for someone of his size. Teams will probably try to move him to the right side because of quickness limitations, as his 40 time does not represent his foot speed in pass protection. His 7'0" wingspan should help him recover, but technique issues could leave him susceptible to switches and twists beating him. Offensive tackles of his size also have concerns regarding conditioning, as he carries more weight than needed already.
2019 Stats
11 games played, 3 years as a starter at LT. All-America 3rd Team, All-ACC 1st Team
5. Ezra Cleveland, rJR, Boise State
The 5th man in a 4-man offensive tackle class, Ezra Cleveland has elite athleticism that is on par with or even better than Wirfs and Wills. In the 6 athletic measurables at the combine, we measured in the top-10th percentile for 4 of them, and still in the top third for the other 2. Unfortunately his upper body strength is greater than lower body strength. He doesn’t always play with the desired strength or anchor. He should be able to add a little more strength, and if he can, his athleticism, great size, and experience give him sky-high potential. Cleveland earned MWC 1st team honors for a second consecutive year despite dealing with turf toe all season long.

Overall Opinion of the OTs
Offensive tackle is one of the most coveted positions in football, as almost every team's fan base will tell you they need to sure up their o-line. Tackle is the hardest position to play, but it is the deepest part of this draft's offensive line prospects. The class is led by 4 players who have clearly separated themselves from the rest; Wirfs, Thomas, Wills, and Becton. All of them received All-American votes this past year, and they all have experience defending the blind side of a QB. The first round talent is strong despite not having a clear cut superstar. Day 2 of the draft might be a little weak, but Day 3 and undrafted free agency will see some great offensive tackles find a home. The tackles are very athletic which provides a lot of upside, and relatively few will need to move inside to guard. Given the weakness at the guard position this year, I expect tackles to be highly sought after by o-line needy teams.
