**(interesting that at this point last year Membou had absolutely zero NFL hype and went top 10)
Cayden Green, G/OT, Missouri
Mizzou has become a bit of an offensive line factory in recent years, with three players selected in the past two drafts (including 2025 No. 7 pick Armand Membou) and two more slated to be selected early in 2026. NFL scouts think Green has the agility and strength to be drafted early.
At 6-foot-5 and 315 pounds, Green -- who transferred from Oklahoma after the 2023 season -- has ideal size for an NFL guard, but there are some who think he could also play left tackle. That's something to watch as Missouri's training camp begins, as the Tigers look to replace Marcus Bryant, who was drafted by the Patriots in the seventh round in April. Green has the footwork, agility and length to excel on the perimeter if needed.
"Watching his feet at left guard, I think he could play tackle. He's a lot like Membou in that way. He's really versatile athletically," said an NFC offensive line coach who studied his tape.
Green's run-blocking dominance stands out on tape, but he must improve his balance in pass blocking. If that improvement happens, he has All-American ability and first-round potential.
