2 of 5

Left Guard

1. Kelechi Osemele, Oakland Raiders

The Oakland Raiders have a dominant offensive line and Kelechi Osemele is a huge part of that. Widely regarded as a top ten guard in football, Osemele is extremely talented. Because of the line’s talent, there was a question as to why the offense did not move the ball more effectively. With Jon Gruden running the offense, both guards for the Raiders will need to be effective run blockers.

DENVER, CO – AUGUST 31: Denver Broncos players, including Allen Barbre #73, Nelson Adams #61, Ronald Leary #65, Marlon Brown #15, and Lorenzo Doss #37 walk off the field after warm ups before a preseason NFL game against the Arizona Cardinals at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on August 31, 2017 in Denver, Colorado.

2. Ronald Leary, Denver Broncos

Ronald Leary played very well for the Denver Broncos. Unfortunately, his ability did not translate to the rest of the Denver offense. Leary excels on the interior and at times can look like one of the best pure blockers in football. The Broncos will need him to continue playing at a high level.

SANTA CLARA, CA – AUGUST 31: Tenny Palepoi #95 and Dan Feeney #66 of the Los Angeles Chargers warm up before their game against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium on August 31, 2017 in Santa Clara, California. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images) /

3. Dan Feeney, Los Angeles Chargers

Dan Feeney is a very middle-of-the-road kind of player. However, middle-of-the-road is much better than bad, which is what the Chargers were a couple of years ago all along the offensive line.

HOUSTON, TX – OCTOBER 08: Kareem Hunt #27 of the Kansas City Chiefs runs for yardage defended by Jadeveon Clowney #90 of the Houston Texans in the second quarter at NRG Stadium on October 8, 2017 in Houston, Texas. (Photo by Tim Warner/Getty Images) /

4. Bryan Witzmann, Kansas City Chiefs

Witzmann was the weakest link of the Chiefs offensive line last season. Witzmann struggled in picking up blitzing linebackers and was not a great run blocker. It is my hope that Parker Ehinger comes back and takes the left guard spot for the Chiefs.
