2026 OT Rankings
1.
Spencer Fano
Archetype: Uber Athletic Mauler
Pro Comp: Penei Sewell-lite
Grade: 1st round
School:
Utah
Height:
6'6
Weight:
302lbs
Strengths:
Elite athlete who moves unbelievably well in space. The best run blocker in the class by far; reach blocks, combo blocks, and pulls are all elite. Mirrors athletic pass rushers with ease; readily counters speed rushers consistently. Recovery ability is remarkable. Downhill mauler in the run game who finishes plays with authority. Hand usage in pass protection is good. 3-year starter at Utah.
Weaknesses:
Towering, narrow frame naturally undermines his ability to anchor against power rushers consistently; will have to undergo a learning curve against NFL speed-to-power. Major concerns over his length and mass; allegedly has 32" arms. Strike power is pedestrian.
2.
Caleb Lomu
Archetype: Athletic Pass Protector
Pro Comp:
Grade: 1st round
School:
Utah
Height:
6'6
Weight:
308lbs
Strengths:
The most polished pass protector in the class; outstanding hand usage to counter both speed and power. Footwork to mirror creative rushers is glorious. Capable of dropping the anchor against more powerful rushers. Technique is remarkable for a 21 year old. Has generally done a good job avoiding penalties in his career. Stellar 99.0 pass block efficiency rate.
Weaknesses:
Length and play strength will have to prove it can hold up against NFL speed-to-power. Top-heavy build lends him just above average play strength; doesn't get much movement in the run game. Lack of raw power shows up in the run game; doesn't finish with authority. Lingers on double teams; doesn't always get to the 2nd level with tenacity.
3.
Francis Mauigoa
Archetype: Mauler
Pro Comp:
Grade: 1st round
School:
Miami
Height:
6'6
Weight:
315lbs
Strengths:
Plug-and-play right tackle who can be a mover in the run game right away. Strong, athletic lower half affords him a very good pass protection upside. Hand technique is coordinated and consistently good. Mauler who dominates on double teams and down blocks and neutralizes smaller players at the 2nd level.
Weaknesses:
Length is just okay. Has trouble handling speed rushers at times. Strike power is lackluster for a guy with his power profile. Have yet to consistently see him work as an outside zone blocker. Not a bad athlete, but nothing special; would like to see better angles from him in space.
4.
Caleb Tiernan
Archetype: Powerful Pass Protector
Pro Comp:
Grade: 2nd round
School:
Northwestern
Height:
6'7
Weight:
325lbs
Strengths:
Some of the most powerful hands in the class, especially in pass protection. Hand technique is refined and his strikes are powerful. Displays burst and acceleration out of his stance. Good working off double team blocks. Climbs to the 2nd level in a hurry; moves very well in space. 4 years of starter experience.
Weaknesses:
Sometimes moves too quick for his own good; gets caught off-balance fairly often. Arm length is below average. Bend is less than ideal for a player his height; lacks natural leverage and balanced weight distribution.
5.
Blake Miller
Archetype: Uber Athletic Mauler
Pro Comp: Lane Johnson
Grade: 2nd round
School:
Clemson
Height:
6'6
Weight:
315lbs
Strengths:
Arguably the best pound-for-pound athlete in the entire class; burst, bend, and open-field speed are absurd. Allegedly has 35" arms. Has the spatial IQ to pair with his awareness; elite puller and 2nd-level climber. Very impressive anchor and consistency handling speed-to-power. Range and strain to reach and displace defenders when blocking zone concepts.
Weaknesses:
Hand usage is pedestrian and undeveloped; has had some quick losses. Rare example of a lineman whose athleticism carries him; must improve overall technique to disallow power rushers from breaching his frame and more refined rushers from outdueling him. Ends up on the ground more often than you'd like for an athlete of his caliber
