Offensive line talent in the NFL is at a premium nowadays, even as the quantity of quality players isn't very high. Fortunately, there are plenty of very good OL prospects in the 2019 NFL Draft class, and more than six could go in the first round. Here are the five best.

5. Dalton Risner, right tackle, Kansas State

A consistent and powerful blocker, Risner was a captain for the past three years while being one of college football's best lineman. He doesn't have great athleticism, but he possesses good size and a great anchor.

Risner easily slows down bull rushes and is a mauler in the run game. He struggles with footwork, especially in pass protection, and if he doesn't fix this issue, he will have a difficult time blocking speed rushers at the next level.

If Risner can't improve his footwork to an acceptable degree, he could always move inside to guard, where he would be able to make great use of his strengths.

4. Andre Dillard, left tackle, Washington State

Despite being a four-year starter, Dillard is a developmental prospect. He possesses ideal athleticism and quick feet, but his hand usage is poor and he doesn't have great lower body strength.

Dillard could start right away and be a solid pass protector, but with his technical deficiencies and below average run blocking, it would be better for Dillard to sit for a year to improve his strength and refine his technique. That said, his ceiling is extremely high because of how good an athlete he is, and he will likely be drafted high due to his potential.

3. Cody Ford, guard, Oklahoma

Ford is a solid athlete with great size and strength who could play either tackle or guard in the NFL. He forced a reshuffling of the Oklahoma offensive line due to his performance; Bobby Evans was supposed to play right tackle after the departure of Orlando Brown Jr., as Evans saw plenty of success there. However, Evans ended up staying on the left side and Ford played very well in 2018.

Ford has been getting top 10 hype, and while he may not go that high, he should still be a first-round pick and an instant starter.

2. Jawaan Taylor, right tackle, Florida

Taylor is the complete package; he has great size, length, strength, and athleticism. He was truly an elite player last season, and he would start at right tackle for the majority of NFL teams.

Taylor is a better pass protector than run blocker at this point, but has the physical gifts to become a very good road-grader. While he is pretty much guaranteed to be a great RT, his athleticism may be too tempting for a team to not attempt to move him to the blind side.

Taylor's stock has risen from mid-second round to quite possibly the first offensive lineman drafted, and he would be well worth the early pick for a number of teams.

1. Jonah Williams, left tackle, Alabama

Starting as a freshman for Alabama is quite an impressive feat, but Williams has only improved since 2016. He doesn't have ideal size, strength, or length, but he is about as technically refined a player as you can find at any position.

Williams uses his elite football IQ to outsmart opponents, and even though he may not always have the physical advantage, he is able to negate the difference with superior technique. There are still some who are concerned about his size and don't view him as a tackle. His NFL Combine testing should put those doubts to rest, but if he eventually moves to guard, he'd probably be the best in the league.

Wherever Williams ends up and no matter what position he plays, he will be a cornerstone for an offensive line and is certainly deserving of a top-10 pick.
