    PFF's top 5 O-linemen in Pass Pro and Road Grading!

    Here's PFF's top 5 in this year's draft in Pass Pro:

    Ranking the top-five offensive tackles in the 2019 NFL Draft by pass-blocking efficiency

    T-1. Chuma Edoga, USC

    Chuma Edoga, an athletic freak and USC's primary right tackle for each of the past two seasons, allowed just four hurries across 304 pass-blocking snaps in 2018. With no sacks or hits allowed tied to his name, the 6-foot-3, 308-pound Edoga ranked tied for first in PFF's pass-blocking efficiency (99.3).

    T-1. Dalton Risner, Kansas State


    Kansas State's Dalton Risner tied Edoga at the top of this list with his 99.3 pass-blocking efficiency a year ago. He allowed just five total pressures (two hurries, three hits) across his 352 pass-blocking snaps in 2018.

    T-3. Cody Ford, Oklahoma


    Despite making the switch to tackle just this season, Oklahoma's Cody Ford turned in an impressive 99.1 pass-blocking efficiency in 2018, allowing just six hurries and one sack across his 441 pass-blocking snaps.

    T-3. Patrick Mekari, California


    Tagged as just a three-star recruit (ESPN) coming out of high school, Patrick Mekari didn't get a ton of love in the recruiting process, but he has since exceeded expectations in his collegiate career with the Golden Bears. Starting at left tackle in 2018, Mekari allowed just seven total pressures (six hurries, one hit) on his 377 pass-blocking snaps en route to an impressive 99.1 pass-blocking efficiency.

    5. Andre Dillard, Washington State


    Andre Dillard destroyed the 2019 NFL Combine and has risen up draft boards as a result. The 6-foot-5, 315-pound Washington State product recorded an absurd 4.96s 40-yard dash and a 4.4s short shuttle in Indy, and his play prior to the Combine wasn't so bad, either. He allowed just 13 total pressures (10 hurries, two hits, one sack) across an FBS-high 722 pass-blocking snaps in 2018, earning the fifth-best pass-blocking efficiency (99.0) among qualifiers.



    And, here's the top 5 road graders:

    Ranking the top-five offensive tackles in the 2019 NFL Draft by run-blocking grade

    1. Dalton Risner, Kansas State

    Kansas State's Dalton Risner paved the way for Alex Barnes & Co. at an unparalleled level in 2018, earning the top run-blocking grade (85.4) among qualifying tackles in this year's class. He also earned the fifth-highest positive run-block percentage (14.74%) and the seventh-lowest negative run-block percentage (5.44%) among all FBS tackles with 200 or more run-blocking snaps.

    T-2. Joe Lowery, Ohio


    Joe Lowery, a 6-foot-7, 305-pound menace in the run game, tied for second behind Risner in run-blocking grade at 83.6 in 2018. His 13.11% positively-graded run-block percentage ranked 11th among qualifying FBS tackles, as well.

    T-2. Jonah Williams, Alabama


    Alabama offensive tackle Jonah Williams also earned an 83.6 run-blocking grade in 2018 while ranking seventh in positive run-block percentage (13.85%). His arm length has some pushing the Crimson Tide stalwart inside to guard, but his play at tackle may just be too good to let measurables get in the way of what very well could be a high-performing offensive tackle in the NFL.

    4. Jawaan Taylor, Florida


    Coveted for his physicality and toughness, Jawaan Taylor buries his opposition in the run game more often than not, as he ranked third in the FBS in positively-graded run-block percentage (15.91%) and fourth in run-blocking grade (83.4) in 2018.

    5. Isaiah Prince, Ohio State


    Ohio State tackle Isaiah Prince didn't have the best of years in pass protection playing right tackle for the Buckeyes in 2018, but his run blocking was among the class' best. He ranked fifth in run-blocking grade (79.7), picking up 63 positive marks across his 476 run-blocking snaps (13.24%) in the process.

    Excellent list of OT. It is a pretty deep class. Will be starting caliber prospects into round 4/5. Not all first year starters but within first 2/3 seasons.

        impressive that Risner graded out so well in both the run and pass.... dude looks straight off the set from Animal House

        still an Isaiah Prince fan, and like Cajuste as well.

        Cajuste >> ranked 22 overall by PFF.... 10 (97.8) in pass pro and 32 in road grading/run blocking

        grade was same as Kolton Miller year he came out, and.... PFF had him slotted early in the third, and.... he went mid first.

        personal projection if 'twas us that selected the either of 'em would be Yodny @60 and Prince @200.
