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 positio- by-position and ranking the 2026 draft class, with more attention being paid to positional groups the Eagles may be more interested in. At offensive tackle, the Eagles have one of the best duos in the NFL with Jordan Mailata manning the left side and Lane Johnson on the right. Johnson is nearing the end of his career, and age (he turns 36 in May) is showing itself in the form of injuries.
The future Hall of Famer is a great player still when he’s on the field, but his lack of availability was a problem last year. This tackle class is quite deep with quality players across the top 100. The Eagles could opt to draft Johnson’s heir in the first round or play the waiting game.
Here are the best tackles in the class. 1) Spencer Fano, Utah Spencer Fano is one of two excellent Utah tackles in this class. Fano has experience at both tackle spots and could play four spots on an NFL offensive line.
His athleticism is a huge plus, and it shows in the way he can move on an island on the edges or come downhill. He is a smart, technically adept player whose physical gifts are the basis of optimism for what he can do at tackle. Fano’s shorter arms will concern some teams, and his inconsistent playing strength is more about technique than it is about ability.
