It’s difficult to imagine offensive tackle as a sexy NFL position, but that’s just what it has become during the last few years—a position of glamour. Offensive tackles are essentially just enablers on the football field, but any team with a franchise quarterback will tell you it’s hard to win when you can’t keep the passer upright.
Interestingly, this year’s offensive tackle class just isn’t as ballyhooed as the last few draft groups, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t primo OT talent to be this April. It’s just unlikely any of these guys will be drafted in the top 10 (and possibly even the top 15). And to think, people were complaining about the lack of OT star power last season!
Nevertheless, let’s take a look at these 10 tackle prospects that have the ability to (safely) deliver your team to the promised land.

1) Carolina – Nick Fairley - DT – Auburn
A no-brainer pick for a team that needs to add a signature player on defense. Nick Fairley is an elite talent at the defensive tackle position, equally at home clogging run lanes or using his athleticism to rip into backfields and pummel quarterbacks. Stud prospects like Patrick Peterson and Da’Quan Bowers are certainly game-changers, but a defensive lineman of Fairley’s caliber can practically control the game. Big difference.
