On the surface, the top five offensive tackles in the 2014 NFL Draft remain unchanged from the start of the season. But there is a distinct gap between No. 1 tackle Jake Matthews and everyone else. Questions have arose players like Cyrus Kouandjio of Alabama, Taylor Lewan of Michigan and Antonio Richardson of Alabama. Other than giving up a sack on a stunt against Rice, Matthews has been impressive.
The biggest riser among the offensive tackles is Matthews' teammate Cedric Ogbuehi. The former guard has excelled in Matthews' old spot at right tackle, Ogbuehi has the athleticism and balance of an NFL tackle. Another riser in the rankings is La'el Collins of LSU. Like Ogbuehi, he's another player with experience at guard.
