2026 NFL Draft position rankings: Interior offensive line

With the 2026 NFL Draft fast approaching, we have a more complete picture of this year’s class. Film, production, athletic testing, interviews, and medical evaluations come together to make a profile of a player, which makes it easier to map out the talent. Over the next few weeks, I will be going through position-by-position and ranking the 2026 draft class, with more attention being paid to positional groups the Eagles may be more interested in.

At interior offensive line, the Eagles are in a tough spot. Cam Jurgens and Landon Dickerson are coming off injury-riddled seasons that saw their play take a huge step back. For Dickerson, there were even loud murmurs that he could retire. Luckily, both players will be back in 2026 and hopefully they will both be back in healthy form. But it’s a big “if.” At the right guard spot, the Eagles have a potential hole to fill. They have some depth on the roster, but no real proven players who can step up and step in.

Realistically, the Eagles could look for a guard high in the draft and it would make sense. There are a few first round quality players, including guys who will be considered at tackle and guard. In the later rounds, the Eagles might look for an insurance plan at center and get some depth for the interior trenches.

Here is how this class looks for interior linemen, excluding players already ranked as tackles.

1) Olaivavega Ioane, Penn State

In terms of pure guards in the class, Olaivavega Ioane is the lone player who is a slam dunk first-round talent. Ioane is a strong, big bodied blocker whose power and concentration make him a tremendous pass blocker.

While he is not the most laterally quick player on the move, he is a handful coming downhill. Ioane’s game is extremely solid and he got better each year he was at Penn State. I expect him to be an immediate difference maker in the NFL.
