Lance's 2024, 2025 and 2026 Offensive Guard Draft Boards
The start to this is the same as the the other boards that were posted before, so if you read that, feel free to jump down to the actual boards. A lot has happened in the last month. It started when our site got hacked, and all of our articles, pages, etc.., were deleted. I took that as an opportunity. There were so many articles and tweets (if that's what they're still calling them) this draft season that mentioned specifically what a player did in their final season. And that got me thinking, does the final year of production really mean that much toward determining if a player will be successful as a pro? So, I dug in. The answer is yes and sort of. For some positions it makes a pretty big impact, and for others, a much smaller one. I decided it was enough to add it into my draft boards. In doing so, it forced me to make an even bigger shift, the score is now weighted. I couldn't just leave it at a player's final year + their career production + their athleticism because that would give their production two thirds of their score. So, I figured out which sections mean more to each position and how much of a weight they should get towards the score. Needless to say, the overhaul was the biggest I've done since I started these boards, so I decided to apply the changes to the 2024 and 2025 draft boards as well. That's why the title is what it is, and that's why you'll see all three boards below (6 for Receivers, D-Line and Corners). I will only list a Top 5 for the 2026 board though. One other new addition you will see is the A, B+ and C+ categories, which were sort of included in the 2026 articles. That is their probability they earn a successful grade as a pro, with A being the superstar category, B+ being their A and B probabilities combined making it the high-end starter category, and C+ being their A, B and C probabilities combined, making it the solid starter category.

Top 5:
1) Spencer Fano (Utah)
2) Micah Morris (Georgia)
3) Evan Beerntsen (Northwestern)
4) Billy Schrauth (Notre Dame)
5) Keylan Rutledge (Georgia Tech)
Note: If you ignore Joe Alt, Taliese Fuaga and Armand Membou (all of which were the top Tackle prospects in their respective classes), then Spencer Fano ties with Wyatt Milum as the best Guard prospect in the last three years. I know Fano was drafted to play Tackle, but I believe he'll have to move inside to succeed (he had an undrafted grade at Tackle for me). I heard the buzz that teams were low on Morris because his work ethic is a concern, that's not something I can measure in my system so he gets the #2 spot. After ignoring the Tackle prospects, I was left with that mix of Morris, Beerntsen, Schrauth and Rutledge. Rutledge came in behind Pregnon and Ioane in score, but Pregnon and Ioane had such a high probability of success at Center that they made my top 5 over there, which is why Rutledge is here.
