<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>My rankings are becoming farther and farther apart from the consensus as I develop more and more knowledge.

Plus, he's got the size to go D1 (assuming 6'5" 295 is accurate). </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eric is still raw, but so is just about every class of 2027 offensive lineman. His footwork especially needs a lot of work. However, Eric is able to engage with blocks and shove defenders into the ground. He makes mistakes, but he can recover from those mistakes better than most. So yeah, Eric is #1 in the O-Line group right now. I love his physicality and play speed. I'm betting on a huge offseason and D1 offers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1615706"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67b25a1d02f1e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Already with a boatload of offers, [player_tooltip player_id='1615706' first='Jameer' last='Henry'] has the size and skill to be a future college star. I'm especially impressed with how fast Jameer is and how powerful his punch is. He has a long first step that allows him to reach block, screen block, etc. Plus, if he's going up against a smaller defender, that defender stands zero chance. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Strong, physical, and pretty polished. I hope to see further improvements from Jameer this offseason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["424593"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67b25a1d02f62"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tobin remains ranked high, and he's the last of the three offensive linemen in this article that I'd call relatively polished. Plus, he's an absolute monster in the run game. Playing center, Tobin absolutely destroys defensive tackles after a quick, powerful initial step. He really knows how to engage with a block and drive- which is something that few high school linemen are any good at. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tobin ranks just a tad lower than #1 and #2, mostly because of his slightly inferior size and positional value. I still see Tobin as a D1 prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1615814"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67b25a1d02f9f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McGrath is an interesting prospect. He's recently received offers from Toledo, Miami (OH), and UMass. His upside is incredibly apparent- I mean come on, few people in the world are 6'6" 275. However, his skill is extremely raw as of this past season. Mostly, I'm looking for better physicality and play speed. Samuel has some pancakes on tape, but doesn't seem to move as fast as he can or give that over-the-top effort like those ranked above him do. I'm looking for better footwork, better balance, and much better tenacity moving forward. No doubt that he can be a great D1 college football player with that size, he's just got to keep developing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1158354"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67b25a1d02fdb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chaffin is another lineman who has received some Division 1 interest, but he's still too raw to call him elite. Braden's midseason tape is solid. A wide variety of blocks executed, and decent footwork on most of them. Though, Braden needs to find a way to play with that extra effort. He looks far too pedestrian when blocking. Don't be afraid to impose yourself! Hit someone! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

My rankings are becoming farther and farther apart from the consensus as I develop more and more knowledge. This can be shown in the offensive line rankings, which don't 100% correlate with current college offers. Today, I'll share my opinions of the five best offensive linemen in the class of 2027, and why I have them ranked where they are.
