I broke down the 2027 scouting classes in my early summer scouting series, and the room has a ton of potential with a long list of potential standout players. I broke down the offense and defense in articles and I suggest reading those for a broad aspect of the room. The Raiders have Kolton Miller, DJ Glaze, and Charles Grant at tackle, but the NFL changes quickly and with Miller pushing over 30 there’s a chance he may be a trade candidate after 2026 if Las Vegas wants to get younger. Additionally, 2026 is likely a make it or break it season for DJ Glaze, who will need to solidify himself as a real right tackle in the NFL, though at only 24 years old he should have a strong chance and may convert to G as well. Charles Grant is in store for some work in 2026 in place of injuries, or pushing out DJ Glaze, and should be a top option for the OL in 2027.
These rankings are extremely early, and they will evolve over not only the summer but the next 8-10 months throughout the season, and into draft season. Some lists will feature 10, 15, 20, or more ranked prospects but I’ll include others on the list below to note.
- Jordan Seaton, LSU- 6’5/330, Jr
- Consensus first overall tackle, spent first two seasons at Colorado before transferring to LSU. True LT, 5 sacks, 44 pressures allowed in his career with a 0.5% pressure rate in 2025. Anchors extremely well, light on his feet, shows a ton of raw natural power. Seaton fires off the ball, he’s able to get into space quickly, has incredible hip flexibility, and he drives defenders through the ground. As a run blocker, Seaton is able to turn and run in space, he’ll identify second and third level targets, and knock them with his blend of raw power and size to pair with athleticism. He’ll need to improve the hand combat, and become stronger in his grip strength but the chance to be a franchise top 5-8 tackle in the NFL is real.
- Trevor Lauck, Iowa – 6’5/310, R-So
- Lauck was arguably the best lineman for Iowa last year, on a unit that saw four NFL draft picks. A LT, Lauck has some experience working at RT as well but he was a standout on the left side. He moves incredibly well, has great knee, ankle, and hip bend, and Lauck drives off the ball. His kickstep is extremely fluid, he’ll sit low and fire with his lower body to pair his strength and natural movement abilities together to drive defenders backwards. Lauck allowed just 2 hits and 5 pressures in his first season as a starter, and he’ll improve likely over the next year. I’d like to see Lauck do a bit better in the pass game sealing the outside corner, and there’s time’s hell overextend as well, but the hand combat skills pop immediately....
