The 2025-26 NFL regular season has come to an end, and that means one thing in particular: draft season is officially upon us. The 2026 NFL Draft is now a little over three months away, and the first 18 picks in each round are now set.
Whether you’re a fan of a team that’s still in the playoffs or a team that only has the NFL Draft to look forward to, we’ve got you covered one way or another. We’ll be bringing you nonstop coverage before, during, and after this year’s draft.
The 2026 NFL Draft isn’t particularly loaded in high-end value along the interior offensive line. However, there’s plenty of value on Day 2 worth taking a shot on, and there are several prospects who stand out as potential starters in the league. The only question is which order they’ll end up selected in.
PFSN NFL Draft analysts Ian Cummings, Jacob Infante, and Alec Elijah have pooled their rankings together to bring you their consensus top 10 interior offensive linemen in the 2026 NFL Draft.
1) Francis Mauigoa, Miami (FL)
A right tackle in college, Francis Mauigoa ranked as the No. 3 offensive tackle in the 2026 NFL Draft in PFSN’s consensus rankings. However, there’s debate over whether he has the wingspan to play tackle at the next level. In case he kicks inside, our NFL Draft staff has accounted for his potential to play along the interior, as well.
Mauigoa might lack in length, but he makes up for it elsewhere. His anchor might be the strongest of any natural tackle in the class on tape, as he absorbs contact tremendously and maximizes that raw strength with good pad level. He’s quick off the line of scrimmage and keeps a wide base with good flexibility in his lower half.
2) Olaivavega Ioane, Penn State
As far as natural interior offensive linemen go, Olaivavega Ioane is the consensus top player in the 2026 NFL Draft. He graded as the top interior lineman on two of PFSN’s three rankings, and Alec Elijah still had him in second place. He comes highly regarded by our staff after a stellar 2025 campaign at Penn State.
If there’s one phrase that describes Ioane, it’s “pro-ready”. He’s a polished technician with an expert use of his hands to maintain inside leverage, and he does a good job of keeping pads low and his weight underneath him. In particular, his snatch-trap technique is killer. He’s a strong guard prospect with a sturdy anchor, and he has enough athleticism to pair with it to get him first-round consideration in this year’s class.
3) Gennings Dunker, Iowa
Gennings Dunker got ranked ninth in PFSN’s consensus offensive tackle rankings, and that lower ranking isn’t reflective of his skill set. Instead, our NFL Draft staff has a stronger consensus that he’ll kick inside to guard at the next level, and it’s along the interior where he ranks much higher this go-around.
A two-time hay bale toss champion at the Solon Beef Days in Iowa, Dunker has what can best be described as farmer’s strength. He’s a mauler in the trenches with the drive in his lower half to push defenders off the ball. His nastiness should make him a favorite for scouts, and though he lacks in length and flexibility, he also has good raw quickness to match his power.
4) Kadyn Proctor, Alabama
Interestingly enough, Kadyn Proctor now ranks as the No. 4 prospect in both PFSN’s consensus offensive tackle rankings and the interior offensive lineman rankings. Jacob Infante was the only analyst to keep him strictly at guard, as the other two account for Proctor’s potential to kick inside in the pros.
The No. 2 player on Bruce Feldman’s Freaks List this summer, he squats 815 pounds, benches 535 pounds, and power cleans 405 pounds. He’s a monster at 6’7″ and 360 pounds, and his raw strength is unmatched. He’s also a very good athlete for his size, which only adds to his allure. His technique is very inconsistent, but he’ll likely end up a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
5) Chase Bisontis, Texas A&M
Texas A&M’s offensive line was loaded with NFL talent this season, and you could certainly make the argument that Chase Bisontis was the best of the bunch. A third-team All-SEC in 2025, he was a tackle this season who figures to make the jump back inside at the next level.
Bisontis’ tackle-guard versatility should help him get playing time early in his career. He’s a high-motored offensive lineman who uses his nasty demeanor to drive defenders off the line of scrimmage and pound them into the dirt. He has ideal grip strength at the point of attack and has improved his spatial awareness in pass protection over time. Though his athleticism isn’t much to write home about, he’s a reliable guard prospect with a high floor and the tools to be a good starter.
6) Emmanuel Pregnon, Oregon
Though Pregnon ranks outside of the top five interior offensive linemen in the 2026 draft class, it’s worth noting that he’s one of just three linemen on this list who got placed in all three of PFSN’s consensus top ten lists. There’s a pretty clear consensus on him as a mid-to-late Day 2 selection in the 2026 NFL Draft.
A four-year starter between previous stints at Wyoming and USC, Pregnon is a polished guard prospect who’s just about seen it all. He’s a powerful lineman who packs a punch at the point of attack and lands his strikes accurately, pairing that placement with the grip strength to hold his ground. He keeps his pads low, and even though his athleticism is average, he has enough body control to block on the move. He projects well as a late Round 2 or early Round 3 selection.
7) Brian Parker II, Duke
Another natural offensive tackle prospect, Brian Parker II, is a safe bet to kick inside once he enters the NFL. There’s been some debate on whether he’ll play center or guard in the pros, but regardless of which position he lands at, he carries starting upside pretty quickly out of the gates.

Parker is a great fit in a zone-first run scheme due to his impressive coordination and precise angles blocking in space. He’s an intelligent lineman who keeps his head on a swivel and processes exotic rush looks well in pass protection. His refined hand usage and low center of gravity give him a technical edge, even if he isn’t the lengthiest or most powerful blocker out there.
8) Logan Jones, Iowa
The top-ranked natural center in PFSN’s consensus interior offensive line rankings, Logan Jones, looks to be next in a long line of Iowa offensive linemen to succeed in the NFL. He won the Rimington Award as the best center in college football in 2025 and was also a unanimous All-American in his final year.
Jones is a physically gifted center prospect who’s shown technical development over the years to project as a future NFL starter. He’s an explosive athlete who’s quick off the snap and should test extremely well at the Combine. He also blocks with a mean streak and good grip strength when he sets his hands right, and though he’s had some injury issues along the way, he’s had enough reps to improve his football IQ over time.
9) Connor Lew, Auburn
Had Connor Lew not torn his ACL in the middle of the 2025 season, there’s a strong chance he’d be the consensus top center prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft. He declared early for the draft despite the injury, and the fact that he’s still in the mix as the class’ top center says a lot about how good his tape was before he got hurt.
Lew isn’t the biggest or strongest interior lineman in this class, but he’s certainly one of the most consistent. He’s a flexible blocker with good knee bend, proper weight distribution, and a naturally low center of gravity. He lands his jabs with good accuracy and timing, shows good footwork and coordination while blocking on the move, and processes stunts and blitzes well in pass protection.
10) Parker Brailsford, Alabama
Seen by many as a potential Day 2 pick in the 2025 draft, Parker Brailsford instead decided to stay at Alabama for his redshirt junior year. He finds his draft stock roughly in the same range as it was last year, though his three seasons of starting tape at Washington and Alabama have given him plenty of reps to continue to develop.
Listed at 6’2″ and 290 pounds, Brailsford is perhaps undersized by NFL standards. That can show up against bigger, lengthier defensive tackles who know how to maintain inside hand placement. That said, Brailsford is also an athletic, coordinated center with the body control to block on the move with precise angles, good explosiveness off the snap, and measured footwork.
