Last Updated: August 2026

The 2027 offensive line class boasts exceptional top-tier talent at offensive tackle alongside highly disciplined, interior anchors. This cycle features a premier group of athletic blockers who possess rare length and the recovery speed necessary to combat elite modern edge rushers, making it a high-value class for franchise cornerstones.


1. Jordan Seaton (LSU)

Traits & Film Summary: Left tackles do not come much cleaner than Seaton. He handles wide-9 edge rushers effortlessly thanks to quick feet and incredibly smart hand placement, and he has the anchor to shut down power rushers immediately. Seaton will occasionally play a little too high when he climbs to block at the second level, but his ability to recover and protect the quarterback makes him the clear-cut top tackle in this draft.

2. Trevor Goosby (Texas)

Traits & Film Summary: Goosby is not the type of blocker who flashes elite, explosive traits on film, but he simply gets the job done. He plays with great discipline, holds his leverage well, and rarely gets fooled by defensive line stunts or play fakes. For a team running a zone-heavy scheme, Goosby offers a safe, reliable option with a very high floor.

3. Cayden Green (Missouri)

Traits & Film Summary: Green gives an offensive coordinator plenty of options because of his experience playing multiple spots on the line. He has a massive, stout base and excellent core strength, which allows him to dig in and stop interior bull rushes right in their tracks. The big evaluation point for Green is whether he has the foot speed to stick out on the island at tackle, or if his ultimate NFL home is inside at guard. If teams think he can stay outside, he is a potential top-15 pick.

4. Drew Azzopardi (Washington)

Traits & Film Summary: Azzopardi is a towering presence on the edge who uses his massive reach to punch first and dictate the block. What stands out most on tape is how quickly he processes twists and blitzes, communicating well to pass off rushers without missing a beat. He still needs to work on his lower-body flexibility so that smaller, quicker edge rushers do not bend right under his tall frame.

5. Xavier Chaplin (FSU)

Traits & Film Summary: Defenders have a miserable time trying to get around Chaplin because of his massive wingspan and rare physical size. He handles speed-to-power transitions exceptionally well, dropping his weight to stall out a pass rush. His main hurdle right now is balance; he needs to refine his weight distribution so he does not lean forward and over-extend on his initial punch.

6. Carter Smith (Indiana)

Traits & Film Summary: If you want a tackle who can run, Smith is an elite athlete who looks incredibly smooth blocking out in space on screens and outside zone plays. His hands and feet are totally in sync when he drops into his pass sets. He will definitely need to add some functional weight to handle NFL bull rushers, but his natural movement skills give him a massive head start.

7. Jacarrius Peak (South Carolina)

Traits & Film Summary: Peak is a mean, heavy-handed blocker who loves nothing more than burying defenders in the dirt. He creates immediate movement in the run game and brings a real finisher mentality to the line. To survive in the NFL, however, he has to clean up his footwork and get deeper in his pass sets so speed rushers do not fly right past him on the outside.

8. PJ Williams (SMU)

Traits & Film Summary: Williams is an intriguing prospect because he pairs long arms with sudden quickness, allowing him to mirror edge rushers on the perimeter. He counters spin moves well and plays with a high motor downfield. His ticket to a permanent starting role will be hitting the weight room to build the lower-body power required for heavy inline run blocking.

9. Lance Heard (Kentucky)

Traits & Film Summary: Heard is a powerhouse on the outside, combining a massive frame with surprisingly light feet. When his punch timing is right, he can instantly halt a defender forward momentum. He just needs to tighten up his hand placement to avoid holding penalties when edge defenders try to counter inside. If he fixes that, he projects as a plug-and-play starter on day one.

10. Austin Siereveld (Ohio State)

Traits & Film Summary: Siereveld rounds out the list as a broad-shouldered, bruising interior blocker who thrives in phone-booth situations. He naturally gets under the pads of defensive tackles to wash them completely out of the run lane. He is built for short-yardage football, and improving his lateral range in pass protection will be the key to cementing his draft value.
