2019 NFL Tackle Rankings

1. David Bakhtiari, Green Bay
Might have done his best work in 2018 considering it took Aaron Rodgers an average of almost three seconds to fire off a pass, which ranked as the NFL's fourth-slowest release time last season. He is Green Bay's first first-team All-Pro tackle selection since Forrest Gregg in 1967, although as one long-time NFL offensive lineman said: "He still probably doesn't get the credit he deserves."

2. Mitchell Schwartz, Kansas City
Pro Football Focus proclaimed him the NFL's best lineman last season after he allowed just 23 pressures on 687 drop-backs and was one of only three tackles to rank in their top 10 for both run and pass blocking. Has never missed an NFL snap with his streak now at 7,000-plus entering his eighth season.

3. Andrew Whitworth, Los Angeles Rams
He must be drinking from the Tom Brady Fountain of Youth. Still among the best all-around blockers and pass protectors at age 37.

4. Ryan Ramczyk, New Orleans
Picked up the baton from mainstay Zach Strief in 2017 and hasn't stopped running with it since. Speaking of which, Ramczyk was voted the NFL's best run-blocking offensive lineman in 2018 by Pro Football Focus.

5. Terron Armstead, New Orleans
A six-game absence in 2018 continued a brutal injury history that has forced Armstead out of 21 games the past three seasons. But he was dominant as usual when healthy, not allowing a sack and committing just one penalty for five yards in 10 regular-season starts.

6. Lane Johnson, Philadelphia

Translated the skills learned from the grave-digger job he held in high school into burying defensive linemen, as Houston and Chicago experienced in two huge 2018 Eagles victories. Admitted disappointment at not being voted to the 2018 Pro Bowl will provide fuel for the 2019 season.
7. Tyron Smith, Dallas

Was arguably the NFL's best tackle until injuries forced him to miss three games each of the past three seasons. But even when he was ailing in 2018, the Cowboys credited Smith with not allowing a sack in 15 games (13 regular season and two playoff).

8. Joe Staley, San Francisco
The longest-tenured 49ers player by a wide margin (2007) remains an imposing force on San Francisco's offensive line at age 34. Retirement isn't in the cards, either, with Staley stating this offseason that he wants "to play as long as I can" — although his 49ers contract is set to expire after the 2019 campaign.

9. Taylor Lewan, Tennessee
Flipping off an overhead television camera while being treated for an injury during a prime-time game symbolizes his rugged approach to football. With three straight Pro Bowl selections, he’s the franchise's most productive left tackle since Leon Gray roughly 40 years ago.

10. Jason Peters, Philadelphia
The Eagles have so much trust in Peters and respect for what he provides as part of the team's fabric that he’s back for a 16th NFL season. "He still plays well," one longtime offensive line coach says.
11. Laremy Tunsil, Miami
12. Trent Williams, Washington
13. Eric Fisher, Kansas City
14. Mike McGlinchey, San Francisco
15. Marcus Cannon, New England
16. Trent Brown, Oakland
17. Donovan Smith, Tampa Bay
18. Jake Matthews, Atlanta
19. Alejandro Villanueva, Pittsburgh
20. Charles Leno Jr., Chicago
