Pittsburgh Review

The 2025 NFL Draft has analysts closely examining offensive tackle prospects. The Triple Take team, comprising Dale Lolley, Matt Williamson, and Mike Prisuta, has shared their evaluations.

Dale Lolley’s analysis includes Will Campbell from LSU, Armand Membou from Missouri, and Josh Simmons from Ohio State, among others. He notes, "There's no change in the five who are on the board, and all have a chance to go in the first round, but last year's NFL Draft was an excellent one for offensive tackles, with seven selected in the first round and 11 taken in the first two rounds." Lolley highlights some prospects not in the top five, like Charles Grant from William & Mary, who may need development but shows potential.

Matt Williamson emphasizes the significance of health in draft decisions, particularly regarding Josh Simmons. "If the league gets a clean bill of health on him right before draft day, it might really shock people how quickly Simmons—a true left tackle—comes off the board in the first round." Williamson also discusses the fiscal importance of drafting offensive tackles due to the limited availability of quality players in free agency. Carson Vinson from Alabama A&M is identified as a potential mid-round prospect who may benefit significantly from professional development.

Mike Prisuta provides insight into players with versatility, such as Marcus Mbow from Purdue, who has both guard and tackle experience. Prisuta mentions, "Marcus Mbow has 'tackle feet.'" Prisuta also highlights players with high potential based on physical attributes and performance, such as Wyatt Milum from West Virginia and Aireontae Ersery from Minnesota, who have shown resilience against top draft contenders.
