2026 NFL Draft Interior Offensive Line Rankings: StickToTheModel Top 10
IOL — Top 10
Underrated class.
Consensus has Ioane as the only real round-1 IOL. Our model says Beau Stephens belongs round-2 too (consensus has him IOL18 at #164) and Pregnon isn't far behind. The analytics at this position reward peak-season scores and snap counts, and this class has plenty of both.
Class strength: deep middle. Not many first-round grades, but a lot of day-2 and day-3 picks that can start by year two.
Every rank below is the StickToTheModel rank — our blend of the consensus big board and our career analytics (composite, peak-season score, breakout age, size).

1. Olaivavega Ioane — Penn State — 6'4", 330StickToTheModel IOL1 at #15 overall.
Consensus IOL1 at #15. Range: Reid 11, TDN 28 — 17-spot spread. Tight agreement across the board.
Our analytics match. 96th percentile career composite. Peak score 0.95 — the highest peak-season score in our IOL top 10 alongside Pregnon. 3 seasons at Penn State, 614 PFF snaps, 80.0 PFF grade.
6'4", 330. Size score 0.60.
StickToTheModel IOL1.
Round-1 lock. The board, the model, and the frame all agree. Day-one starter at guard with the flexibility to swing to center.
---
2. Emmanuel Pregnon — Oregon — 6'5", 318Peak-season co-leader.
Consensus IOL3 at #46. Range: TDN 30, PFN 89 — 59-spot spread.
Our analytics agree. 97th percentile career composite. Peak score 0.98 — tied for highest at the position. 4 seasons of data, 910 PFF snaps, 86.7 PFF grade.
6'5", 318. Size score 0.70.
StickToTheModel IOL2 at #40.
Draft age 24.5 is the one flag. Experience and peak production are the case for round-2. Clean guard prospect with elite PFF grade and snap count.
---
3. Jake Slaughter — Florida — 6'5", 303Center profile.
Consensus IOL8 at #94. Range: ESPN 79, CBS 115 — 36-spot spread.
Our analytics lift. 89th percentile career composite. Peak score 0.84. 3 seasons at Florida, 748 PFF snaps, 79.3 PFF grade.
6'5", 303. Size score 0.54.
StickToTheModel IOL3 at #68.
Round-3 pick. Started 3 years at center for Florida — rare at the position. Intelligence and communication tape shows up. Draft age 23.3 is older than we'd like, but the pivot experience and the 89th-percentile composite carry the grade. Plug-and-play center at the right slot.
---
4. Keylan Rutledge — Georgia Tech — 6'4", 320Board and model mostly agree.
Consensus IOL5 at #66. Range: Thor 46, PFN 122 — 76-spot spread.
Our analytics have him IOL21 at the position by composite pool rank. 76th percentile career composite. Peak score 0.84. 4 seasons, 872 PFF snaps, 76.7 PFF grade.
6'4", 320. Size score 0.53.
StickToTheModel IOL4 at #62.
Round-3 pick. Big Ten-adjacent ACC production with a solid frame. Guard-only role. Middle of the pack across every category — no ceiling, no floor collapse.
---
5. Beau Stephens — Iowa — 6'5", 315Biggest board-to-model gap in our IOL top 10.
Consensus IOL18 at #164. Range: PFF 133, CBS 179 — 46-spot spread. Board has him a late-round guy.
Our analytics don't. IOL2 at the position analytically. 99th percentile career composite. Peak score 0.98 — tied for highest at the position with Pregnon and Ioane. 3 seasons at Iowa, 682 PFF snaps, 84.9 PFF grade.
6'5", 315. Size score 0.66.
StickToTheModel IOL5 at #112.
Round-5 pick on the board. Round-2 grade in our analytics. That gap is the story — Iowa O-line production doesn't get viral tape, but the peak-season and PFF numbers say starter-level. Worth aggressive flier grade.
---
6. Trey Zuhn III — Texas A&MConsensus mid-day-3 guard.
Consensus IOL11 at #109. Range: CBS 47, PFF 143 — 96-spot spread.
Our analytics land close. 79th percentile career composite. 776 PFF snaps, 72.7 PFF grade.
StickToTheModel IOL6 at #86.
Round-4 pick. Experienced SEC guard on 776 PFF snaps with a 72.7 grade. The 96-spot analyst spread is the tell — he graded inconsistently year-to-year and some scouts couldn't settle on a round. 79th-percentile composite says the floor is real. Floor is a swing guard. Ceiling is a starter in year two.
---
7. Gennings Dunker — IowaConsensus board is higher than our model.
Consensus IOL4 at #63. Range: TDN 35, Edholm 79 — 44-spot spread.
Our analytics hold back. 56th percentile career composite — the lowest in our IOL top 10. 729 PFF snaps, 82.0 PFF grade.
StickToTheModel IOL7 at #74.
Round-3 pick on the board. Round-4 grade in our analytics. The PFF grade is real. The composite is the flag — peak and avg production don't match the consensus grade.
---
8. Kage Casey — Boise StateSmall-school snap volume.
Consensus IOL13 at #121. Range: CBS 70, PFN 167 — 97-spot spread.
Our analytics neutral. 75th percentile career composite. 942 PFF snaps — one of the highest in our IOL top 10, 80.0 PFF grade.
StickToTheModel IOL8 at #101.
Round-4 pick. Boise State reps plus high snap count plus a clean grade equals starter depth. Analytics aren't in love — the peak-season composite isn't there — but the floor is real.
---
9. Billy Schrauth — Notre Dame — 6'4", 305Two-year sample. Strong peak.
Consensus IOL14 at #122. Range: CBS 85, ESPN 137 — 52-spot spread.
Our analytics lift. 77th percentile career composite. Peak score 0.92 — second highest in our IOL top 10 on the peak alone. Only 2 seasons, 436 PFF snaps.
6'4", 305. Size score 0.38.
StickToTheModel IOL9 at #103.
Round-4 pick. Smaller sample but the peak tape is there. Notre Dame reps help. Depth-starter profile with developmental ceiling.
---
10. Sam Hecht — Kansas State — 6'4", 300Consensus IOL9. Analytics IOL32.
Consensus IOL9 at #99. Range: MDD 79, CBS 202 — 123-spot spread. Board can't settle.
Our analytics have him outside the top 30 analytically. 63rd percentile career composite. Peak score 0.87 — the one bright spot.
6'4", 300. Size score 0.32.
StickToTheModel IOL10 at #95.
Consensus-heavy IOL10. Board has him round-3 on film; our analytics see a round-5 depth starter. The middle of those two grades is the real draft slot. Round-4 depth starter.
