NFL Offensive Lines Ranked 1-10
1. Detroit Lions
The Lions added to an elite unit that includes Penei Sewell and Frank Ragnow by bringing in a stout veteran guard in Kevin Zeitler. Expect Detroit to be among the Super Bowl contenders this season, led by this formidable unit up front. Find out where the Lions rank in our NFL power rankings.

2. Philadelphia Eagles
While the Eagles lost future Hall-of-Famer Jason Kelce to retirement, this is still an elite group that is anchored by stud offensive tackles Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson. Cam Jurgens is a former second-round pick who will now take over at center for Kelce.
3. Cleveland Browns
The Browns are stacked up front with Jedrick Wills, Jack Conklin, Joel Bitonio, and Wyatt Teller. This team is evolving into more of a spread offense, so it’s a good thing that they have a lot of great talent up front to help protect Deshaun Watson.
4. Kansas City Chiefs
Even though the Chiefs have a question mark at offensive tackle with Jawaan Taylor, there are still elite talents like Joe Thuney and Creed Humphrey on the interior. This group is a big reason why the Chiefs have been able to repeat as Super Bowl champions.
5. Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers have built a nasty group that includes a pair of first-rounders in Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu. Add in Arthur Smith, who has a knack for developing a strong running game, and you have a smash-mouth Steelers team that could cause problems.
6. Indianapolis Colts
Head coach Shane Steichen has the pieces in place for an elite running game. Not only is there Anthony Richardson and Jonathan Taylor, but the big boys up front include a pair of terrific tackles in Bernhard Raimann and Braden Smith. It’s a great setup for Richardson and company.
7. Dallas Cowboys
Even though the Cowboys lost Tyron Smith and Tyler Biadasz to free agency, they still have blue-chippers in Tyler Smith and Zack Martin. Not to mention that Dallas brought in first-round offensive tackle Jalen Guyton as a reinforcement. Expect another strong season from this group.
8. Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons have continuity up front with each of their five starters returning for the 2024 season. Chris Lindstrom is one of the best guards in the NFL, while Matthew Bergeron should continue to develop on the interior. This unit should be a key cog in helping Atlanta have one of the most improved offenses in the league.
9. Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers brought in stud first-round rookie Joe Alt to go along with Rashawn Slater. Don’t forget about a third former first-rounder in this group in guard Zion Johnson. Expect Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman to put this offensive line in a position to thrive.
10. New York Jets
The Jets are another improved offensive line that includes new additions Tyron Smith, Morgan Moses, and John Simpson. Not to mention first-round pick Olu Fashanu as depth. Add in the fact that Aaron Rodgers can help an offensive line with his strong pocket presence and you can see why this is an ascending unit.

NFL Offensive Lines Ranked 11-20
11. Buffalo Bills
The Bills have a solid group headlined by Spencer Brown and Dion Dawkins. While losing center Mitch Morse can hurt, having a mobile quarterback like Josh Allen always helps mitigate those concerns. It will be interesting to see how Connor McGovern fares in his shift from guard to center.
12. Chicago Bears
The Bears are an ascending group that includes former first-rounder Darnell Wright. Teven Jenkins has also performed well since converting to guard. We should also see improvement here because Justin Fields, who often held the ball too long, has been replaced by Caleb Williams. Quarterback play makes an impact on an offensive line.
13. Los Angeles Rams
The Rams brought in Jonah Jackson to fortify an improving group that includes Kevin Dotson and Rob Havenstein. We could also see some growth from former second-round center Steve Avila. Los Angeles should have a strong foundation on offense with an efficient running game to help ease the pressure off veteran Matthew Stafford.
14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Bucs are led by former first-rounder Tristan Wirfs, who performed well in his shift from right to left tackle last season. I like the addition of another first-rounder in Graham Barton, who is a Day 1 starter at center. Expect another solid year from this group in Tampa.
15. Denver Broncos
The Broncos have an excellent pair of tackles in Garett Bolles and Mike McGlinchey, along with one of the best guards in Quinn Meinerz. This group has the pieces in place to fly up these rankings and provide a soft landing spot for rookie quarterback Bo Nix.
16. Green Bay Packers
The Packers have some good pieces like tackle Zach Tom, but the question is whether Rasheed Walker can continue to grow on the left side. Green Bay has the makings of an elite offense with Jordan Love and an impressive group of pass-catchers — they just need the offensive line to do their part.
17. Cincinnati Bengals
I like what the Bengals did this offseason in signing Trent Brown and selecting Amarius Mims in the first round. This is paramount because they need to make sure that Joe Burrow can stay healthy. I’m betting on improvement from this group here, resulting in a return to the playoffs for the Bengals.
18. Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars have a chance to fly up these ranks. This is a team that has used first or second-round picks on Cam Robinson and Anton Harrison in recent years. Add in the fact that they solidified the interior with new center Mitch Morse, and you can see why I’m expecting improvement.
19. Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings need tackle Christian Darrisaw to get back to 2022 form for this group to rise up these ranks. The former first-round pick dealt with injuries last season. Right tackle Brian O’Neill is coming off a strong season, where he put up a 74.5 PFF grade.
20. Las Vegas Raiders
The Raiders are another team that could move up these ranks, led by one of the best offensive tackles in the NFL in Kolton Miller. Las Vegas added interior lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson to this group, so there’s some upside here. This team will need strong play in the trenches in what should be a run-heavy offense.
NFL Offensive Lines Ranked 21-32
21. Houston Texans
The Texans have one of the best left tackles in the game in Laremy Tunsil, but beyond that this group is lacking. Houston will need some improvement in pass protection, as this projects to be one of the most exciting passing games in the NFL.
22. Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins lost a couple of key contributors in Robert Hunt and Connor Williams, so there are a lot of question marks on this offensive line. Will Terron Armstead be able to stay healthy? Can Austin Jackson continue to improve? It will be interesting to watch, but at least Tua Tagovailoa helps out by getting the ball out quickly.
23. San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers have one of the best left tackles in NFL history in Trent Williams, but there’s a lack of depth in this group. We’ve seen San Francisco struggle when Williams is out of the lineup, so hopefully he can stay healthy to help make up for what looks like a thin offensive line.
24. Arizona Cardinals
We could see the Cardinals’ offensive line continue to improve as second-year tackle Paris Johnson develops. But for now, I’ll leave them lower on this list because beyond Johnson, there’s not a lot of high-end pieces in this group. Arizona did bring in Evan Brown and Jonah Williams, adding depth up front.
25. Baltimore Ravens
I’m a bit concerned that we see a drop-off in the Ravens offensive line after they lost Kevin Zeitler, John Simpson, and Morgan Moses. These are three starters from last season, so it may take some time for the new group to gel. Ronnie Stanley and Tyler Linderbaum will have to anchor this unit.
26. Tennessee Titans
The Titans added another first-rounder in JC Latham to go along with their 2022 first-round pick Peter Skoronski. Tennessee also signed Lloyd Cushenberry, who is coming off a good year. But don’t sleep on the addition of Bill Callahan as offensive line coach — he’s considered one of the best. We could see this group improve dramatically.
27. Carolina Panthers
The Panthers brought in Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis, but they’ll need former first-round pick Ikem Ekwonu to take the next step in his development if they’re to make a big move up this list. It’s imperative that we see some improvement here, as Bryce Young needs all the help he can get.
28. Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks were held back by poor offensive line play last season. This team badly needs Charles Cross and Abraham Lucas to get back to their rookie year form because there is a lot of holes up front. Geno Smith needs better pass protection if we’re to see a return to the playoffs.
29. New York Giants
The Giants brought in Jon Runyan and Jermaine Eluemunor to solidify this group, but they need young players like Andrew Thomas, Evan Neal, and John Michael Schmitz Jr. to show improvement. The G-Men have invested a lot of draft capital into this group — it’s time to start seeing some results.
30. Washington Commanders
The Commanders have an excellent guard in Sam Cosmi. They also made some shrewd additions in Nick Allegretti and Tyler Biadasz, but the fact is that Cornelius Lucas is their starting left tackle, and he’s been a backup for them in the past. There isn’t enough proven talent to rank the Commanders any higher here.
31. New England Patriots
The Patriots have some young talent like Cole Strange, but it’s tough to rank an unproven group much higher than this. This team would be wise to let Drake Maye sit on the bench as the offensive line starts to develop chemistry. Expect Jacoby Brissett to start for the first few weeks.
32. New Orleans Saints
While the Saints drafted Taliese Fuaga in the first round, but they’ll be without Ryan Ramczyk. This team needs former first-rounder Trevor Penning to start showing some improvement. With a statue-esque quarterback like Derek Carr, poor pass protection could hurt even more.
