1. Philadelphia Eagles
Anchored by Jason Kelce at center, the Eagles’ offensive line is the clear No. 1 unit and ranked No. 2 in our NFL power rankings. Tackles Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailatarank in Pro Football Focus’ top 10 at their position. Guard Landon Dickerson progressed nicely in his second season. The only question mark, if you can call it that, is Cam Jurgens at guard who is entering his second year in 2023. He’ll be challenged in the offseason though, as the Eagles spent a third-round choice on Alabama...
2. Cleveland Browns
Center Ethan Pocic emerged as one of the under-heralded players at his position after arriving in Cleveland last offseason. The bread and butter of this group are guards Joel Bitonio and Wyatt Teller. Bitonio is a road-grader inside and is a key cog in providing Nick Chubball that running room. Tackles Jedrick Wills Jr. and Jack Conklinare solid contributors. The duo combined to allow eight sacks and just 12 QB hits—impressive totals compared to the rest of the league’s tackles.
3. Baltimore Ravens
The loss of Ben Powers shouldn’t be a huge loss, but the other four starters return. Tackles Ronnie Stanley and Morgan Mosesare two standouts. Stanley graded as a top-15 pass-blocker at his position on PFF, while Moses finished among the top-10 run-blocking OTs. The replacement for Powers, Ben Cleveland, didn’t play much last year (93 snaps), so it makes sense that the Ravens opted to draft a couple late-round offensive linemen to get more competition going into training camp. Center Tyler Li...
11. Los Angeles Chargers
Center Corey Linsleywas among the best pass-blocking centers in 2022. He gave up just seven pressures, delivering one of the lowest pressure rates in the NFL. Left tackle Rashawn Slater hit the injured reserve after Week 3 (bicep). He was solid in 2021, providing the 17th-best tackle grade on PFF. Right tackle Trey Pipkinsstruggled in run blocking and will need to improve. Guards Zion Johnson and Jamaree Salyerallowed 42 pressures (sixth-most by guards) and Salyer allowed 48 pressures (sevent...
12. Minnesota Vikings
Between Christian Darrisaw and Brian O’Neill, the Vikings possess two of the better starting tackles in the league. Unfortunately, guards Ezra Cleveland and Ed Ingramleave a lot to be desired. Cleveland and Ingram surrendered 118 pass pressures, by far the most of any guard duo in the league. Center Garrett Bradburydid show some growth in pass protection, but has missed eight games over the last two seasons.
13. Denver Broncos
The Broncos overhauled the offensive line by signing OT Mike McGlinchey away from the 49ers and G Ben Powers away from the Ravens. Starting left tackle Garett Bollesbroke his leg in Week 5 and will provide some much-needed stability. Center Lloyd Cushenberry missed half of 2022 (groin), but was barely in the top 20 at his position on PFF. G Quinn Meinerz is a replacement-level option and will likely be challenged for playing time by Kyle Fuller, who’s bounced around the league since 2017.
21. Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals offensive line was a problem for years, but they’re starting to make strides. Cincinnati signed OT Orlando Brown Jr., although he allowed the second-most pressures in the NFL last year. A year ago, they added La’el Collins, Alex Cappa and Ted Karrasahead of the season. RT Jonah Williams struggled mightily, allowing 13 sacks, 26 hurries and 45 pressures. G Cordell Volsonneeds to improve in his second year. There’s some depth in this group, so there are silver linings in adding an e...
22. Houston Texans
The Texans selected C Juice Scruggs out of Penn State with the 62nd overall pick. He’ll be working hard to keep No. 2 overall selection, QB C.J. Stroud, safe. LT Laremy Tunsil continues to be one of the best in the game. RT Tytus Howardwas solid, but not great a year ago in allowing three sacks and 38 pressures. Houston traded for G Shaq Mason from the Buccaneers. 2022 first-rounder, G Kenyon Green, played poorly with four sacks and 47 pressures allowed. The Texans have to hope their more ine...
23. New York Jets
The Jets dealt with injuries, so they’ve fortified their OL depth chart with many options. OTs Mekhi Becton and Duane Brown could be a formidable pair, depending on where Max Mitchellfits in their plans. C Connor McGovern will be challenged for his starting gig by Jets second-round pickJoe Tippmann. 2021 first-rounder G Alijah Vera-Tucker wasn’t able to stay healthy last year. LG Laken Tomlinsonexcelled in pass protection but still leaves a lot to be desired in run-blocking.

- LANE JOHNSON, Philadelphia Eagles. Johnson sets the standard on the right side of the line the way Williams does on the left. He has not allowed a sack since the 2020 season, according to PFF, and has allowed only three pressures in the past seven games.
- JASON KELCE, Philadelphia Eagles. The undersized Kelce is the linchpin on one of the NFL’s most unstoppable plays. Kelce is a key component to Philadelphia’s “Brotherly Shove” play that has turned 3rd and 4th and 1 situations into near automatic conversions on sneaks by Jalen Hurts.
- ZACK MARTIN, Dallas Cowboys. Martin has been remarkably consistent for nearly a decade as the best player on what usually is one of the top offensive lines in Dallas.
