Bucs, Cowboys and Eagles are among NFL's top offensive lines: A tiered look at big men up front of all 32 teams

The rankings of the NFL's top offensive lines have become a popular topic, but the challenge lies in distinguishing between the true talent level of the offensive lines and the impact of coaches, schemes, and surrounding players. To provide a general overview of how the teams are faring in Week 2 of the preseason, I have utilized a tiered approach to group the teams based on their offensive lines.

At the top of the rankings, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a strong offensive line led by Tristan Wirfs at left tackle, Cody Mauch at right guard, Graham Barton at center, and Luke Goedeke at right tackle. While Ben Bredeson at left guard is the weakest starter, he is still capable of handling pass protection and run blocking. With all starters returning and a new offensive line coach in Kevin Carberry, the Bucs are positioned as the strongest offensive line unit for the 2026 season.

Following the Buccaneers, the Denver Broncos, Philadelphia Eagles, and Buffalo Bills are among the top units. The Broncos' scheme is particularly friendly, with a heavy use of play-action, run-pass options (RPOs), and movement throws in their passing game. The Eagles, while facing potential changes with Jeff Stoutland no longer coaching, still maintain a high talent level that makes them a strong offensive line unit. The Bills, with a new offensive line coach in Pat Meyer, are also a solid run-blocking unit.

The Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, and Buffalo Bills round out the top four units, with each team boasting a talented interior trio of offensive linemen. The Cowboys' line, led by Tyler Smith at left tackle, looks to be the strongest of the group, with chemistry between the players and Dak Prescott. The Eagles' offensive line, despite potential changes under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, remains a formidable unit.
