2025 NFL Draft Offensive Line Rankings
1. OT - WILL CAMPBELL (-420 to be First Offensive Lineman)
Will Campbell is currently a heavy betting favorite to be the first offensive lineman drafted at -450 odds. Campbell played OT at LSU and measures 6-6, 319 pounds.
Campbell is the second-highest graded offensive tackle in the 2025 NFL Draft class, per Daniel Jeremiah. He's an excellent run-blocker and aggressive along the line of scrimmage.
Knocks on Campbell include short arms and failure to move laterally with consistency. He's among the strongest tackles in this draft class and has plenty of experience going up against SEC defensive lines.
The New York Jets and Chicago Bears both need offensive line upgrades and will be drafting 7th and 10th on Thursday night. Campbell's size and power should be enough to entice the Jets to draft him at No. 7, which is why he's currently -450 in the First Offensive Lineman Drafted futures market.
2. OT - ARMAND MEMBOU (+1000 to be First Offensive Lineman)
There's a lot of value on backing Missouri OT, Armand Membou, to be drafted as the first lineman. Membou is graded slightly higher than Campbell and also earned his stripes playing against SEC defensive fronts.
Measuring 6-4 and 332 pounds, Membou received a 94 Athleticism Score from NFL scouts. He's explosive, powerful, and has good flexibility to make himself an asset while run blocking or in pass protection.
At +550 odds, sprinkling half a unit on Membou to be drafted as the first offensive lineman is worth the investment. The Jets and Bears remain the most likely destinations inside the top-ten. Either of these front offices may prefer Membou over Campbell due to his versatility and ability to plug into interior guard positions.
3. OT - KELVIN BANKS JR. (+1600 to be First Offensive Lineman)
Texas Tech OT, Kelvin Banks Jr., is all the way down at 35-1 to be drafted as the first offensive lineman. Banks played left tackle for the Aggies and measures 6-5, 315 pounds.
Banks has a lot of experience as a run blocking tackle while playing at Texas Tech. His size and physicality will be attractive to a run-centric offense in the NFL. Pass protection remains a weakness, which is why oddsmakers have him valued at +3500 to be the first draft pick at this position.
Expect Banks to be a late selection in the First Round on Thursday. Daniel Jeremiah is projecting him to land with Houston at No. 25.
I'm not going to recommend backing Banks to be the first offensive lineman selected, despite tempting odds at 35-1. This is primarily due to scouting concerns about his pass protection.
4. OT - JOSH SIMMONS (+10000 to be First Offensive Lineman)
Josh Simmons' injury during October at Ohio State may wind up being the only reason he isn't taken earlier in the 2025 NFL Draft. Measuring 6-5 and 317 pounds, Simmons' athleticism at offensive tackle and versatility playing various positions, could lead to a First Round selection.
Simmons is ranked highly for his foot speed, effort and timing. Knocks on Simmons include strength and health concerns due to injury. At 100-1 odds, Simmons may be worth a 0.10 unit sprinkle to grab 10 units of profit if a team favors him over Campbell and Membou.
5. IOL - TYLER BOOKER (+15000 to be First Offensive Lineman)
The only offensive lineman that isn't an offensive tackle included in the top five odds in this futures market is Tyler Booker. Booker played G at Alabama and measures 6-5, 320 pounds.
Booker was a two-year starter for the Crimson Tide and is explosive with his run blocking and has great technique with top-tier vision. Weaknesses on Booker include outside hands, average foot speed, and absorbing blockers.
Teams who are looking to execute a power running game could gravitate toward Booker. I'm not going to bite on Booker at 150-1, solely due to playing an interior offensive line position. Front offices tend to use their early draft capital on offensive tackles to shore up their pass protection.
