Finding a class of OT as highly scouted as 2023 will be hard, but 2024 gives it a run for their money. Although there is less true OT graded super high, there is a ton of value to be found in the first two rounds. While there are 2 guys drastically leading the pack, this draft can be considered labeled “OL” ready to be developed into pure tackles.
Below will be all the draftable OTs that have not declared they are staying in school. This is based upon my top 250 big board and is subject to change depending on the remainder of athletes that stay at school, and with the combine/senior bowl. The final big board with position filters will be released close to draft day.
For my rankings, it will be shown filtered with just the offensive players until the full big board is released.
*Could Repeat Big board #s from QBs and RBs based on updated returning players and adjustments from the CFP*

- Will Campbell, OT, LSU
- Measurables: 6’6″ 323 LBS
- NFL Play Style: Peter Skoronski
- Predicted Selected Area: Top 10 (My Offensive Board: 2)
- Positive Note: Although shorter in arm length, Campbell has a great base and plays smart surrounded by his quick feet
2. Kelvin Banks, OT, Texas
- Measurables: 6’4″ 320 LBS
- NFL Play Style: Taliese Fuaga
- Predicted Selected Area: Top 10 (My Offensive Board: 3)
- Positive Note: Again, shorter than your average OT, Banks makes up for his height by using leverage and being unreliably sound technically
3. Cameron Williams, OT, Texas
- Measurables: 6’5″ 335 LBS
- NFL Play Style: Amarius Mims
- Predicted Selected Area: Top 25 (My Offensive Board: 13)
- Positive Note: 2nd Texas guy in the top 3, Williams is the first pure OT prototype on my board, and although a major project, he has the ability similar to Guyton and Mims to be developed and turned into an all pro
4. Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
- Measurables: 6’5″ 310 LBS
- NFL Play Style: Nate Solder
- Predicted Selected Area: Top 25 (My Offensive Board: 14)

- Measurables: 6’6″ 330 LBS
- NFL Play Style: Tytus Howard
- Predicted Selected Area: Top 25 (My Offensive Board: 21)

- Measurables: 6’4″ 320 LBS
- NFL Play Style: Laadrian Waddle
- Predicted Selected Area: Top 125 (My Offensive Board: 50)

- NFL Play Style: Lane Johnson
- Predicted Selected Area: Top 150 (My Offensive Board: 53)

- NFL Play Style: Mekhi Becton

- Predicted Selected Area: Round 6-7 (My Offensive Board: 116)
