Sewell enters 2026 with expectations of moving back to his collegiate home at left tackle after five seasons as one of the league's premier right tackles. The projection requires some side-switching caution, but Sewell has the rare physical profile, prior left-side background and functional technical foundation to make the transition without changing the core evaluation. His '25 film again showed one of football's most dominant run-blocking profiles, built on elite explosive power, rare movement skill at 335 pounds and the ability to create offense as a featured piece rather than a static edge blocker. Sewell can displace at the point of attack, erase targets in space and generate force from angles most tackles cannot access. His pass protection is high-level but less airtight than his run-blocking. Sewell has an elite anchor, rare mass and outstanding recovery strength, allowing him to absorb power and stabilize the pocket when his set discipline holds. The vulnerable moments come when top rushers lure him out of position, stress his timing and access his edges before he can re-center. That keeps him below the cleanest pass-protecting tackles, but the overall package remains elite. If the left-side transition follows anything close to the Tristan Wirfs' path, Sewell has the traits to remain a top-tier tackle while offering one of the league's most forceful run-game presences at the position.

Williams remained one of the league's defining offensive linemen in 2025, playing 1,075 snaps—his most since arriving in San Francisco—while still performing at an elite overall level at an age where most tackles are long removed from starting-caliber play or even retired. The pass-protection profile showed more volatility than during his peak years, with a few more clean losses and moments where rushers could set him up and slip across his face. Even so, Williams remained a high-end protector capable of handling top competition on an island. His run-game value continues to be unmatched, too. Williams remains the league's best run-blocking tackle because of his rare blend of size, explosiveness, range and power, allowing him to erase targets on the move, command the point of attack and seal the backside with his signature snatch technique. He is no longer quite as airtight in protection as he was at his apex, but his physical tools, play-strength and run-blocking dominance still make him one of football's most valuable tackles.
