NFL Mock's Top 25: 2024 NFL Draft prospect rankings plus position rankings & analysis
By John Blair
2024 NFL Draft offensive tackle rankings
Underrated: Garret Greenfield, South Dakota State
South Dakota State easily had the best offensive line in the FCS, and one of the reasons for that is Garret Greenfield. Greenfield is an explosive athlete who set the NFL Combine record for offensive linemen with a 38.5-inch vertical jump. He has also excelled on the field being named an All-American each of the past two seasons.
Overrated: Kingsley Suamataia, BYU
A player who needs to improve his flexibility is BYU’s Kingsley Suamataia. His inability to sink his hips when blocking hurts him when it comes to his pad level and also when finishing his blocks in the running game.
Non-Power Five player to watch: Kiran Amegadjie, Yale
The best position in this year’s NFL talent when it comes to FCS talent is offensive tackle. Yale’s Kiran Amegadjie will likely be another small school tackle to hear his name called on draft day. Amegadjie is a powerful offensive tackle who would be best served by playing in a gap-blocking scheme.
NFL team who has a need at this position: Las Vegas Raiders
One of the biggest needs for the Raiders this offseason is right tackle. The team lost last year's starter Jermaine Eluemunor to the New York Giants, and Thayer Munford Jr. has yet to prove he is starting caliber.
