2026 NFL Draft Offensive Tackle Rankings: StickToTheModel Top 10
OT — Top 10
Sneaky elite class.
Six Round-1 grades on the consensus board. The tier at the top is as deep as we've had in three drafts. Our model and the board mostly agree on the order — the disagreements are at the margins (Tiernan up, Iheanachor down).
The model differentiator: Markel Bell. Analytics OT1 overall. Consensus OT10. That gap is the tweet.
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. Monroe Freeling — Georgia — 6'7", 315StickToTheModel OT1 at #10 overall.
Consensus OT3 at #17. Range: Tice 6, PFN 43 — 37-spot spread. The board likes him top-20 with some outliers.
Our analytics agree. 96th percentile career composite. Peak score 0.81. 2 seasons of Georgia SEC reps at 891 PFF snaps. 72.3 PFF grade.
6'7", 315. Size score 0.69.
StickToTheModel OT1.
Size, age (21.7), SEC reps, and the composite all point top-15. Tice has him at 6 and he isn't crazy. Plug-and-play left tackle prospect. Round-1 lock.
---
2. Kadyn Proctor — Alabama — 6'7", 366Mass you can't teach.
Consensus OT4 at #18. Range: CBS 4, Reid 34 — 30-spot spread.
Our analytics match. 98th percentile career composite. Peak score 0.78. 3 seasons at Alabama, 985 PFF snaps, 86.1 PFF grade (one of the highest in the class).
6'7", 366. Size score 0.87 — the second-best in our top 10 behind Markel Bell.
StickToTheModel OT2 at #13.
Round-1 lock. Age, production, size, and pedigree all align. The only question is whether the weight translates to NFL conditioning — and that's a combine conversation, not a tape one.
---
3. Francis Mauigoa — Miami (FL) — 6'6", 315Consensus OT1. Analytics holds back.
Consensus OT1 at #9. Range: ESPN 5, CBS 16 — 11-spot spread. Tight. The board is aligned.
Our analytics are more reserved. 77th percentile career composite. Peak score 0.83 is solid. OT14 in the analytics-only pool.
6'6", 315. Size score 0.53 — average for the prototype.
StickToTheModel OT3 at #11.
Consensus-heavy OT3 for us. Our analytics alone would have him a tier lower. The blend splits the difference. Round-1 pick, but not the round-1 pick to trade up for.
---
4. Spencer Fano — Utah — 6'6", 302Peak-score king.
Consensus OT2 at #11. Range: CBS 5, ESPN 19 — 14-spot spread.
Our analytics have him peak-season score 0.90 — highest in our OT top 10. 78th percentile career composite overall (analytics alone has him OT13 because the sample is smaller). Broke out at 20.4. 83.9 PFF grade.
6'6", 302. Size score 0.41 — small for the position.
StickToTheModel OT4 at #14.
The size flag is real. The peak-season tape isn't. Round-1 on the peak. Round-2 on the frame concern. Consensus has him ahead of Proctor — we don't — but the grade is in the same tier.
---
5. Caleb Tiernan — Northwestern — 6'7", 325Analytics say he's undervalued.
Consensus OT8 at #67. Range: CBS 60, Thor 86 — 26-spot spread. The board has him as an early-day-2 tackle.
Our analytics push up. 95th percentile career composite. OT4 at the position analytically. Peak score 0.81. 4 seasons of data. 70.5 PFF grade.
6'7", 325. Size score 0.79 — real frame.
StickToTheModel OT5 at #41.
Round-2 value. Big Ten reps at 4 years of OT1 usage. The measurables fit a LT projection, the production fits a starter profile. Consensus has him as a back-end day-2 pick. Our numbers say round-2 proper.
---
6. Markel Bell — Miami (FL) — 6'9", 340Analytics OT1.
Consensus OT10 at #107. Range: Thor 70, CBS 151 — 81-spot spread. The board has him day-3.
Our analytics don't. 100th percentile career composite — OT1 in our all-time pool. Peak score 0.80. 1,034 PFF snaps over 2 seasons.
6'9", 340. Size score 0.97 — the biggest size score in our OT top 10.
StickToTheModel OT6 at #66.
Biggest analytics-vs-board gap at OT. The industry isn't weighing his frame or the per-snap production as heavily as our model does. Round-3 pick on the board. Round-2 in the analytics. Swing for a team that needs tackle depth with real ceiling.
---
7. Blake Miller — Clemson — 6'6", 315Four-year Clemson starter.
Consensus OT7 at #31. Range: Tice 18, TDN 60 — 42-spot spread.
Our analytics cool. 71st percentile career composite. Peak score 0.77. 4 seasons, 875 PFF snaps, 78.5 PFF grade.
6'6", 315. Size score 0.53.
StickToTheModel OT7 at #29.
Clean round-2 profile. Four years of ACC tackle reps — one of the few multi-year starters in our OT top 10. The tape grades out. The peak-season composite doesn't separate him from the guys above. Not the ceiling pick. The floor pick. Plug-and-play right tackle by year two, starter by year three.
---
8. Caleb Lomu — Utah — 6'6", 304Traits over production.
Consensus OT5 at #25. Range: CBS 13, TDN 51 — 38-spot spread.
Our analytics hold back. 59th percentile career composite — our second-lowest in the OT top 10. Peak score 0.81. Only 2 seasons of data.
6'6", 304. Size score 0.42.
StickToTheModel OT8 at #42.
The board has him higher than our model. Consensus is drafting traits and the 2-season upside. Our analytics are asking for more sample and more frame. Late-1 / early-2 pick where you bet on the ceiling.
---
9. Dametrious Crownover — Texas A&M — 6'7", 336Size without the age-adjusted production.
Consensus OT11 at #126. Range: ESPN 86, CBS 190 — 104-spot spread.
Our analytics are split. 84th percentile career composite by pool rank. Peak score 0.74. Progression score 0.02 — flat arc.
6'7", 336. Size score 0.85.
StickToTheModel OT9 at #110.
Round-4 pick. Size-first prospect at draft age 24.6. The frame is real (6'7", 336) and the SEC reps carry water. The progression score (0.02) and flat arc are the reason we're not higher. Depth tackle who competes for a swing role in year one.
---
10. Max Iheanachor — Arizona State — 6'6", 330Board higher. Analytics lower.
Consensus OT6 at #30. Range: Tice 11, ESPN 41 — 30-spot spread.
Our analytics pump the brakes. 54th percentile career composite — lowest in our OT top 10. Peak score 0.73.
6'6", 330. Size score 0.67.
StickToTheModel OT10 at #67.
Biggest board-to-model gap in our OT top 10. Consensus has him as a top-40 pick. Our numbers have him round-3. Size and reps are real. Peak production and progression aren't. Splitting the difference puts him at the back of our top 10.
