2017 NFL Draft Positional Rankings: Final Offensive Rankings
By Jon Dove
Offensive Tackle
This year’s offensive line group lacks that top-10 prospect. In fact, it’s possible that only 1 offensive tackle is selected in the 1st round. Cam Robinson, Garett Bolles and Ryan Ramczyk are the prospects with the best chance of being a 1st round pick.
Bolles is the one with the most upside thanks to his combination of size, athleticism and nastiness. He has a unique past which really shouldn’t factor into his play on the field.
Robinson has a ton of raw talent, but needs to get his head on straight and focus. It’s going to take a strong coaching presence to get the most out of him.
Aviante Collins is one of my favorite prospects in this draft. He has the athleticism and balance to be a highly effective left tackle. Collins needs to add some strength, but overall he could very well end up being the best offensive tackle to come out of this group.
