There is a ton of talent in the 2020 NFL Draft on the offensive line. I rank my top 50 prospects, with a handful of centers in the top 12.

Across all three offensive line positions, there are many talented players throughout the 2020 NFL Draft. Top tackles, top centers and some sleepers, teams should be able to find players that can contribute early and often in nearly every round.

There is a ton of buzz about the top four tackle prospects in Jedrick Wills Jr., Tristan Wirfs, Mekhi Becton and Andrew Thomas, but there are many prospects that aren’t too far out of that conversation. There is a clear OT5 to me that isn’t too far back from that top four. And I really love the top center options in this 2020 NFL Draft as well.

Before we dive into my complete offensive line rankings and analysis, I will take a second to break down my rankings by position beforehand. Tackles, guards and centers are very different players with their own unique skill sets. This way, I will let you know which position I think a prospect is best fit to be at the next level and can break it down position by position.
