2024 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings: Interior offensive linemen

Mahogany is a big, powerful, tone-setting presence on the interior. He has a bully mentality and presents himself as the bouncer of the pocket. The two-time team captain pulls with ease, and is capable of erasing smaller defenders in his way. He may need to learn patience in the pros once he realizes you can’t go for the knockout every play. Mahogany missed his entire junior season after tearing his right ACL over the summer, but he bounced back in a big way, earning first-team All-ACC honors last year. Projected: Rounds 3-4

— 10. Mason McCormick (Sr., South Dakota St., 6-4, 309)

A former no-star recruit, McCormick ended up a three-time team captain and two-time consensus All-American in the FCS for the Jackrabbits. He’s durable, starting 57 straight games, all at left guard, and played in 70 total games in college (he’ll be a 24-year-old rookie). McCormick made the pre-snap adjustments for protections at South Dakota St., a responsibility coaches usually give to the center. McCormick’s athletic testing at the combine placed him in the 99th percentile for offensive linemen, and earned him a Relative Athletic Score of 9.96, which is the seventh-best all-time out of over 1,500 guard prospects. Projected: Rounds 4-5

— BONUS: Dominick Puni (Sr., Kansas, 6-5, 313)

A no-star recruit, Puni also lettered in volleyball all four years and joined the track team as a senior in high school. He spent four years at Central Missouri before transferring to Lawrence his final two seasons, where he was chosen All-Big 12 twice and didn’t allow a sack in 25 straight starts. Puni has experience at both tackle positions and left guard. He excels as a run blocker and a move inside would make him an asset in pass pro as well. In Mobile at the Senior Bowl, Puni even took reps at center and held his own. He turned 24 in February. Projected: Rounds 2-3

— BONUS: Isaiah Adams (Sr., Illinois, 6-4, 315)

The Canadian native was a zero-star recruit coming out of high school, but developed into a three-star JUCO recruit at Garden City Community College in Kansas. Adams was a two-year starter for the Illini and was voted team captain his senior season. He was a two-time honorable mention All-Big Ten recipient, but struggled mightily as a pass protector in 2023, allowing nine sacks. He’s made double-digit starts at both left guard and right tackle. Adams features a nasty demeanor on game day, and the size/strength/mobility trifecta NFL teams require on the interior. Projected: Rounds 3-5

— BONUS: Sataoa Laumea (Sr., Utah, 6-4, 319)

The former four-star recruit became a four-year starter with extensive experience at both right guard (18 starts) and right tackle (26 starts). Laumea is a four-time All-Pac-12 honoree who is scheme-versatile as a run blocker with smooth movement skills and natural power. He needs to be more consistent at sustaining blocks in pass pro and can be susceptible to inside moves. Laumea suffered a sprained MCL and multiple concussions in college. Projected: Round 4

— BONUS: Beaux Limmer (Sr., Arkansas, 6-4, 302)
