Wright completed his third season and first inside Ben Johnson's dynamic, offensive line-friendly system, a tailored fit for his power-oriented game. Chicago's use of motion, condensed formations, play-action and run-game window dressing helped create cleaner angles while limiting some of Wright's exposure in space and true dropback pass protection. That structure allowed him to dictate terms more often and weaponize his best traits: elite play-strength, heavy contact power and the ability to uproot defenders once he gets his frame aligned. Wright performs at his best in the run game, where he can displace at the point of attack, cave down edges and finish through contact. In pass protection, his anchor and clamp strength are high-end once latched, but his average movement and recovery skills still show up when rushers isolate him in space, force him to redirect or catch him overextended. Wright is not the cleanest or most fluid tackle. At the same time, his power, anchor and run-blocking impact in Chicago's scheme make him a valuable right-side presence.


Mims took a clear step forward in 2025, moving from 13 starts as a rookie to a full 17-game slate, while showing visible growth as the campaign progressed. His profile is built on rare size, length, density and natural power, giving him the ability to command the point of attack and generate initial displacement in ways few tackles can. Mims improved most in pass protection, where better spatial awareness, set-point variation and timing allowed him to protect his inside shoulder, harden his edges and force rushers through the middle of his frame more consistently. His pass-protection leap was also aided by regular chip/protection help and a quick-game structure that kept the quarterback shallow and mitigated some high-side stress. Mims can play with high pads and inconsistent hand-placement in the run game, limiting his sustain and finish, and he can still step underneath himself when rushers sell inside before redirecting high side. Even with those issues, his mass, length and improving awareness portend an ascending starter whose best football remains ahead of him.


Goedeke has battled multiple injuries over the last two seasons, including a torn plantar fascia that limited him to 11 starts in 2025. However, his on-field play has quietly settled into rock-solid starter territory. Despite one of the more sawed-off tackle builds, Goedeke has become a very good pass protector by maximizing timing, angles and hand usage. He uses a 45-degree set to reach his landmarks on schedule, then compensates for middling length with some of the league's craftier hands, including a high-low circle punch that allows him to evade, latch and clamp into rushers' frames. Once attached, his contact balance and light feet help him stay connected up the arc and redirect against counters. The limitations still show up against rushers who can attack his exposed chest with stutter-bulls or win quickly around the edge with well-timed ghost moves. In the run game, Goedeke is more solid than forceful, relying on balance, leg drive and strain to steer defenders long enough for concepts to hit. His frame creates some hard limitations, but his hand usage, balance and pass-protection craft make him a valuable starting right tackle when healthy.


Membou started all 17 games as a rookie and immediately announced himself with a dominant Week 1 performance against T.J. Watt. An impressive physical profile translated quickly. Membou plays with natural leverage, core-strength and explosive power, giving him the ability to flip leverage late in reps and create full-body knockdowns at a rare rate for a young blocker. His burst and power also appeared on backside cutoffs, climbs and downfield finishes, where he could get defenders on their heels and steer them into displacement. Refinement and nuance remain a work in progress. In the run game, Membou can drop his eyes and get too heavy on contact, especially on frontside kickouts, leaving him susceptible to overextension. In pass protection, his outside hand can land too far down the middle of rushers, giving savvy edge defenders a path to set him up inside before attacking high side. Even with those technical cleanups remaining, Membou's rookie tape showed a starter-level floor, with rare physical flashes and enough high-end traits to project a notable upward trajectory.
