2021 NFL Draft rankings: Penei Sewell leads strong offensive tackle group
By John Blair
21. Tommy Doyle, Miami of Ohio
6-foot-8, 326 pounds
2021 NFL Draft grade: Seventh round
A developmental offensive tackle a team might take a swing on late in the draft is Miami of Ohio’s Tommy Doyle. Doyle is worth taking a shot on as he is gigantic, has the strength to play in the NFL, and moves fairly well for someone his size. He will likely be a player a team tries to develop on their practice squad.
22. Brenden Jaimes, Nebraska
6-foot-5 300 pounds
2021 NFL Draft grade: Seventh round
Nebraska offensive tackle Brenden Jaimes set a school record for consecutive starts as he started 40 straight games. During his Nebraska career, he has played both left and right tackle. However, due to a lack of athletic ability, he will likely have to move inside to offensive guard. On the positive side, he does show good overall strength, so he could eventually develop into a starting offensive guard in the NFL.
23. Landon Young, Kentucky
6-foot-7, 321 pounds
2021 NFL Draft grade: Seventh round
The team that drafts Kentucky offensive tackle Landon Young will be getting a strong run blocker, who has enormous size. On the downside, they will also be getting a stiff athlete who struggles in pass protection. Look for a team to take Young late in the draft or sign him as an undrafted free agent.
