Offensive Tackles

  1. Andrew Thomas, Georgia
  2. Tristan Wirfs., Iowa
  3. Jedrick Willis, Alabama
  4. Prince Tego Wanogho, Auburn
  5. Lucas Niang, TCU

Thomas and Wirfs have both set themselves apart as clearly the top offensive tackle prospects for the 2020 NFL Draft. Thomas is an absolute people-mover of a run blocker and shows athleticism as a pass blocker. He plays with the best technique and hand usage of the group as well. Wirfs is more athletic and smoother in pass protection but doesn’t get near as much drive in the run game as Thomas.

Jedrick Willis is a dominant run blocker who is still at least solid in pass protection. Wanagho and Niang arguably have the best traits of the OT prospects, each possessing an excellent combination of size and athletic ability. Wanagho just needs to add some bulk and strength to his frame to reach his full potential. Niang needs to be coached up on his drop set techniques as well as his hand usage, but he has all the traits required to be a stud left tackle at the next level.
