Steele is a long, linear and powerful right tackle whose best value comes in the run game. He has enough explosiveness and play-strength to cover up, widen and displace defenders on base, down and double-team blocks, and his length allows him to cast a wide net when walling off targets on the move. However, his movement profile is more straight-line than reactive, which limits his ability to redirect, recover or stay balanced once his feet stall. The issue shows up most clearly in pass protection, where his frame, length and heavy hands can disrupt closely aligned rushers early, but wider alignments and higher-end athletes consistently stress his range, timing and recovery. Steele can still stymie power when he lands first meaningful contact, but he gives up too many clean losses when rushers force him to protect space or adjust late. His run-blocking and physicality still carry value, but the pass-protection ceiling is capped enough to place him closer to a role-specific starter than a stable, every-week tackle.

Latham missed four games in 2025 due to a lingering hip injury that began in training camp and was aggravated in Week 1. The campaign followed a rookie season spent playing out of position at left tackle. Context matters. At the same time, the tape remained uneven inside Tennessee's pass-heavy, lethargic offense. Latham is a massive tackle with huge hands, a firm anchor and enough raw power to engulf defenders with proper weight distribution. Range and technical consistency are still issues. He is closer to average when asked to protect on an island, and late or down-the-middle strikes shorten the corner, force him to turn early and open his inside shoulder to counters. He also gets grabby when defenders work outside his frame, reflecting the stress on his recovery range. Latham still has starter-level traits and just turned 23, but his technique and environment need to stabilize before he becomes more than a projection-based starter.

Conerly started all 17 games without missing a snap as a rookie who didn't turn 22 until November, while also transitioning from left to right tackle. His movement skills are his best trait, with the balance and range to reach landmarks on time in both phases. As a run-blocker, he can fit under control, compress defenders on angle-drive and down blocks and use his closing speed to eat ground and intersect backers on uncovered climbs. His posture and sustain still waver against push-pulls and late movement across his face. In pass protection, Conerly closes off the corner against high-side rushes. However, mediocre play-strength shows up against speed-to-power, and he oversets against tighter alignments to create soft inside access. His body control and recovery skill give him a path to become more than a functional starter if his hand-timing and anchor improve.
