2025 NFL Draft - Missouri OL Armand Membou

Membou manned right tackle for most of his three seasons at Missouri but handled weak-side edge rushers when occasionally lining up as a tight end outside the left tackle. General manager Ryan Poles -- briefly a Bears offensive lineman himself -- may believe the athletic, long Membou can make the transition permanently to challenge Braxton Jones, a free agent in 2026, for the LT spot this season.

Armand Membou's name is the one I hear most often as the guy climbing draft boards. It's a combo of the tackle class not being incredible, and Membou's size, athleticism and potential. Most mocks have had the Jags address their defensive line, but the offensive line could use work too.

Surprise? It shouldn't be that big of one, considering how many boxes Membou has checked off throughout the draft cycle. He has a legitimate case to be the first offensive tackle off the board. The Patriots need an OT still and Membou has the skills and talent to play either on the right or left side of the line.
