2027 NFL Draft preseason positional rankings: Offensive tackles

Editor’s note: This is the seventh installment of Dane Brugler’s 2027 NFL Draft Summer Scouting series. Previous ranking: Wide receivers | Defensive tackles | Running backs | Linebackers | Cornerbacks | Interior offensive linemenThe demand for quality offensive tackle play in the NFL has never been higher. Over the past five years, there have been 28(!!) offensive tackles drafted in the first round. Basically, any tackles who show the talent to be future NFL starters don’t have to wait long on draft weekend.Unfortunately, my optimism for the offensive tackle class in 2027 isn’t as strong as the previous few years. It is hopeful that changes over the next few months.(Notes: An asterisk represents draft-eligible underclassmen. Heights and weights are what NFL teams have on file for each play
