He has a dense, well-proportioned frame and displays functional power on tape. Membou is also a nimble athlete, capable of climbing to the second level and making plays in space. He shows solid fundamentals in the run game and plays with a strong base. Weaknesses: While his hands are powerful and he flashes dominant reps, his hand placement could be more consistent.

Will Campbell

LT | LSU | 6’6 | 323

i-1.png

Strengths: Campbell has a well-built frame and distributes his weight effectively. He plays with a strong base and maintains good balance. Campbell is known for his leadership and high-character intangibles. He offers an impressive blend of size and athleticism Weaknesses: Arm length will be a question during the evaluation process, as it contributes to a passive approach off the snap. He needs to engage quicker, as he’s often backpedaled into the QB before fully initiating contact. Bottom Line: Campbell has the size, athleticism, and character to become a solid NFL tackle. While his length may limit his upside at OT, he has the potential to be a top-tier guard if moved inside.

Josh Simmons

LT | OHIO STATE | 6’5 | 310

Strengths: Simmons is a well-rounded tackle prospect with a ton of likeable traits. He plays with a well-distributed, balanced base and shows impressive footwork and agility, allowing him to redirect and counter finesse rushers effectively. He looks natural in space and stays engaged and alert throughout his reps. Weaknesses: While he has good play strength, his anchor can still improve, and he’ll need to clean up penalty issues. The biggest concern is a season-ending injury in 2024 that could impact his draft value. Bottom Line: If medicals check out, Simmons has the tools and tape to become a quality NFL tackle—with arguably the cleanest film in the class.

Kelvin Banks

LT | TEXAS | 6’4 | 320

i-3.png

Strengths: Banks is a dense tackle with good size and length. He plays from a low stance and does a nice job maintaining leverage while sustaining blocks. He moves well to the second level and shows solid coordination in the run game. Weaknesses: Nothing about his game truly pops. He slips too often, misjudges angles, and his athleticism is underwhelming. At times, he looks heavy-footed and labored in pass sets. Bottom Line: Banks has the physical tools and pedigree to develop into a starting tackle, but I’m skeptical of his value as a potential top-13 pick.

Grade: Round 2

Josh Conerly Jr.

LT | OREGON | 6’4 | 315

i-6.png

Strengths: Connerly Jr. is an athletic, nimble tackle who moves smoothly in space and accelerates well out of his stance. He’s proactive with his hands, engaging defenders early, and shows sound footwork with the ability to recover after getting beat. A natural pass protector, he’s shown noticeable improvement this year. Weaknesses: His biggest issue is his anchor—he can get overpowered and needs to add strength to his frame. He also consistently struggled against the inside swipe move on tape. Bottom Line: If he can bulk up and improve his anchor, Connerly Jr. has the tools to develop into a solid tackle in the right scheme.

He has powerful hands that allow him to take control early in reps, and he excels in the run game, consistently mauling defenders with natural strength.

Bottom Line: Ersery’s blend of size, strength, and athleticism gives him the tools to be a solid starting tackle, particularly in a run-heavy scheme. Coaching development will be key here.

Jack Nelson

LT | WISCONSIN | 6’7 | 316

Strengths: Nelson is an experienced, tough lineman with a long, well-proportioned frame. He’s a reactive, instinctual player who adjusts well mid-rep and has active feet for his size. Nelson plays with a physical edge and effectively uses his length and hand technique to win matchups. Weaknesses: He tends to play too upright and would benefit from maintaining a lower pad level. He’s not particularly athletic, and his tendency to overextend with his hands can lead to balance issues.

He has powerful hands that he uses effectively—though his placement could be more consistent. Weaknesses: He plays too upright and needs to develop a more balanced stance to gain proper leverage and drive. His play strength and anchor are concerns, and his arm length and frame will likely push him inside.

He possesses a strong anchor and can be a physical mauler in the run game when properly positioned. Weaknesses: He plays too upright and needs to improve his pad level. He’s often caught slipping or on the ground, and his footwork requires cleanup. While his hands pack a punch, his placement needs to become more consistent.

Chase Lundt

RT | UCONN | 6’8 | 308

i-14.png

Strengths: Lundt is a long, experienced tackle and a standout athlete who moves well in space. His biggest asset is his ability to climb to the second level with good burst and consistently reach his spots. Weaknesses: He has a high-cut frame that leads to inconsistent pad level, and his functional strength is a concern. His footwork can be spotty, and at 24, he’s an older prospect as a sixth-year senior. Bottom Line: Lundt’s athleticism and experience make him a potential late-round fit for a unique, spatially-driven scheme, but he’ll need technical refinement before he can be trusted in a regular role.
