Brown completed his 11th NFL season at his fifth stop, while again providing a stabilizing presence once he entered the Texans' lineup in Week 10. Across seven regular-season starts and another in the Wild Card round, Brown showed he still has high-end pass-protection value. His game is built upon gargantuan size, premier length, heavy hands and a veteran understanding of how to cover rushers without wasting movement. Brown can still blot out defenders when working on an island, establish first meaningful contact with jarring power and protect his frame by forcing rushers to work around his mass rather than through clean angles. The limitations are now mostly tied to age, wear and role. His burst, range and finishing skills in the run game have diminished, leaving him more positional than forceful outside of short-area power exchanges. Availability also prevents him from being viewed as a reliable full-season answer. Brown is now more late-season stabilizer than foundational starter, but his ability to survive on an island in true dropback concepts without regular chip help still carries real value.

Moton remained Carolina's steadiest offensive lineman in 2025, starting 15 games and continuing to win with the well-rounded, low-volatility skill set that has defined his career. Moton's value is rooted in timing, technique and reliability more than overwhelming physical traits. In pass protection, he gets out of his stance efficiently, reaches his landmarks on time and uses active, precise hands to establish early leverage and disrupt the timing of rushers. In the run game, he is more positional than forceful, but he understands angles, fits blocks on schedule and can seal or wall off defenders when his footwork stays tied to his hands. Moton does not consistently overwhelm opponents with power, movement or finishing ability, but his technique, availability and down-to-down consistency still make him a dependable starting right tackle. He is a classic greater-than-the-sum-of-his-parts veteran whose value is often easier to appreciate inside the building than from the outside.

Smith rebounded in 2025 and remained a solid starting right tackle after a challenging stretch that included multiple injuries and health-related setbacks over the previous three seasons. Smith is no longer quite the same physically dominant player he was in his peak, but his experience, play-strength and pass-protection craft still give him reliable ways to win. In the run game, he remains a sturdy, efficient blocker with the power to create movement on angle-drive blocks and the control to fit, steer and sustain. In pass protection, Smith wins more with timing, hand-placement and positioning than high-end range, using his veteran feel to stay square and force rushers through his frame. His movement skills and durability are no longer clear strengths. Even so, he still profiles as a dependable starting tackle with enough baseline quality to stabilize a unit.

Lucas returned to form in 2025 after back-to-back injury-plagued seasons, giving Seattle high-quality right tackle play inside Klint Kubiak's offensive line-friendly structure. Lucas regained the play-strength that stood out as a rookie, while showing a more refined pass-protection plan, setting square to his spot and using varied, well-timed hands and changeup sets to disrupt rushers' timing. Average range against wide speed alignments is his main limitation. He tends to open early and becomes vulnerable to counters attacking his inside shoulder. In the run game, Lucas is a stout, agile blocker with enough strength, balance and movement skill to execute across concepts. Last year's film showed a quality starter, with the remaining caveat being whether his health and pass-set range can hold up during consecutive seasons and within a new scheme.

Rosengarten started all 17 games during his second season and settled in as a valuable fit inside Baltimore's run-heavy, play-action-oriented offense. His game is built on alertness, quickness and craft more than overwhelming physical traits. Rosengarten is a highly skilled run-blocker with the burst to hit landmarks, the body control to re-leverage on the move and the feel to wall off targets without needing clean displacement. His backside cutoffs are among the best from a right tackle, and his ability to reach, seal and stay attached gives Baltimore consistent value on its core run concepts. In pass protection, Rosengarten is functional but more margin-dependent. His lean, sawed-off build provides a below-average anchor and a narrower strike-timing window, allowing skilled rushers to access his edges when they beat him to first meaningful contact. He offsets some of those issues with set variation, active hands and an effective snatch-technique against heavy-handed rushers who lean into him. Rosengarten is not a power-based right tackle, but his run-game feel, movement skill and technical adaptability make him an underrated starter.

O'Neill started 14 games in 2025 while managing a nagging MCL sprain he suffered in Week 4, but his overall profile remained familiar. He's a loose, fluid, athletic right tackle whose movement skills and run-game value outweigh a persistent anchor limitation. O'Neill is at his best using range, set variation and quickness to disrupt rush timing before defenders can attack his frame. His three-step short set remains an effective changeup, altering the timing and spacing of the rush while forcing defenders to adjust their approach. His two-hand strike can create immediate control when it lands cleanly, but the boom-or-bust nature of that approach leaves him vulnerable when his hands miss or arrive late, creating a soft inside shoulder for counters. Minnesota's protection structure helped manage some of that exposure with chips and built-in help, though more erratic quarterback play also led to fewer clean pocket-management answers than he has had in prior seasons. In the run game, O'Neill remains a valuable zone and space blocker, with the burst, fluidity and body control to reach landmarks, stay attached, steer defenders and lead on climbs, screens and perimeter concepts. He was not at his best in 2025, but his movement skill, run-game utility and functional pass protection still keep him among the top half of starting right tackles.
