Final offensive tackle rankings heading into the 2025 NFL Draft

Final offensive tackle rankings heading into the 2025 NFL Draft The NFL Draft is always a fluid process, with a lot of information constantly coming in about the players within the class. Every position requires countless hours of film, combing over testing numbers, looking at work at all-star games and pro days. Through it all, a clearer image of the players within each position group appears. The next position we will discuss in our final rankings is wide receiver.
