2024 NFL draft prospect rankings: Offensive tackles

— BONUS: Javon Foster (Sr., Missouri, 6-5, 313)

Foster was first-team All-SEC and team captain as a super senior in 2023. He played primarily at left tackle, but he does have experience on the right side. He's a durable three-year starter whose arm length and cerebral approach as a pass-protector provides more than enough for an offensive line coach to work with. Improving below-average footwork should be the first point of emphasis. Foster's father (Jerome) was a defensive lineman who was a fifth-round pick (No. 139 overall) in the 1983 NFL draft, playing four seasons with the Houston Oilers, Miami Dolphins and New York Jets. Projected: Rounds 4-5

— BONUS: Matt Goncalves (Sr., Pittsburgh, 6-6, 317)

Goncalves is a former three-star recruit who lettered all four years in basketball as a prep. He's limited athletically, and his arm length is borderline for a tackle — he split his college snaps between right and left tackle — but his size, strength and competitive nature could help him potentially find a home as an interior blocker. Projected: Rounds 4-5

— BONUS: Caedan Wallace (Sr., Penn State, 6-4, 314)

Wallace was the No. 3 offensive guard in the 2019 recruiting class. He became entrenched as the right tackle at State College, starting 40 games at the position, after breaking into the starting lineup as a red-shirt freshman. Wallace features NFL size, a solid technique and should find work as a backup with the potential to start as a guard or tackle. Projected: Rounds 4-7

— BONUS: Walter Rouse (Sr., Oklahoma, 6-5, 314)

The former three-star recruit and Eagle Scout was two-time honorable mention All-Pac-12 in four seasons at Stanford before joining the Sooners for his final collegiate season. Rouse improved significantly during his short amount of time in Norman. He features functional athleticism, but coaches will appreciate his size and intelligence. Rouse has played exclusively as a left tackle (52 starts) but could be considered as a solid swing tackle prospect with some upside. Projected: Rounds 5-6

— BONUS: Ladarius Henderson (Sr., Michigan, 6-4, 309)

A former three-star recruit with zero football experience prior to his junior season of high school, spent four seasons with Arizona State before transferring to Ann Arbor. Henderson was a team captain his final year in Tempe and earned first-team All-Big Ten honors his only season with the Wolverines. His playing time was almost evenly split between left tackle (20 starts) and left guard (19 starts). Henderson possesses the athleticism and length an NFL offensive line coach will be happy to work, but there's a lot of development still required when it comes to technique considering his inexperience. Projected: Rounds 6-7

— BONUS: Julian Pearl (Sr., Illinois, 6-6, 312)

Pearl features NFL size with big hands and long arms. He's agile enough to handle speed rushers off the edge and has proven capable as a puller in the run game. He's a three-year starter with experience at both tackle positions and right guard. The two-time All-Big Ten honoree was sidelined for the combine and Illini pro day with a hamstring issue. Pearl will turn 25 in October. Projected: Rounds 6-7

— BONUS: Frank Crum (Sr., Wyoming, 6-8, 313)

Crum was a third-generation player for the Cowboys. He features imposing size, and impressive athleticism (albeit a little stiff). He's a better run blocker than pass-protector at this point and will need to continue to develop his footwork and play strength — finds himself on the ground too often. Crum is dependable with double-digit starts at both left and right tackle (57 career games played), missing only one game because of injury. Projected: Round 7-PFA

— BONUS: Josiah Ezirim (Sr., Eastern Kentucky, 6-5, 329)

A former three-star recruit at defensive end, Ezirim transitioned to the offensive line midway through his collegiate career where he started 19 games at right tackle and showed gradual improvement the last two seasons, holding his own against the FBS opponents (Cincinnati, Kentucky) on the Colonel's schedule. Ezirim is a big, athletic project who will need time with a patient coaching staff, but he has a lot of talent and the work ethic to payoff his potential. Projected: Round 7-PFA

— BONUS: Anim Dankwah (Sr., Howard, 6-7, 349)

Dankwah was raised in Ghana by his mother before moving to Ontario to live with his father at the age of 9. He's enormous and moves gracefully for a man the size of a French door refrigerator. Bull rushers have no chance (it's like running into a black hole). Dankwah doesn't have a large sample size against high-level competition, and his instincts are still a work in progress, which is expected considering his inexperience. He missed chunks of his sophomore and junior seasons because of injuries, but size and power matter a lot to NFL teams. Projected: Round 7-PFA

— BONUS: Jalen Sundell (Sr., North Dakota State, 6-5, 301)

Sundell battled injuries as a sophomore and junior, including a fractured foot, but replaced second-round draft pick Cody Mauch at left tackle in 2023 and had his best season. He had played center his previous three seasons for the Jackrabbits. He needs to get stronger, but he's athletic and would be at his best in a move-blocking scheme that allows him to pull or get out in space. Projected: PFA

— BONUS: Giovanni Manu (Sr., British Columbia, 6-7, 352)

The former high school basketball standout, nicknamed "Baby Shaq," played left tackle and left guard for the Thunderbirds, earning All-Canadian honors his last two seasons. He features rare athletic traits for a man his size and would make an intriguing developmental tackle. He was born in Tonga before moving to Canada at age 11. Projected: PFA
