Jordan Seaton OT LSU |
NFL Draft Profile & Scouting Report

Scouting Report: Weaknesses

• A thirty-point split separates his run blocking from the protection work.
• Missed Colorado's final three games injured, ending the year on a medical note.
• Utah game was a two-sack rough night that the season never fully outran.
• The pass-first profile needs an offense, and now a third scheme, to hide the run work.

Scouting Report: Summary

The protection tape is precocious and the resume matches: the No. 1 tackle recruit in his cycle, a true-freshman starter at left tackle, and now two full seasons of blindside film before age twenty-one. Seaton's pass-blocking tape sits in the class's top handful, built on snap quickness rare for 330 pounds and set timing that handled Houston's speed package on his cleanest night. When January came, he was the most coveted lineman in the portal, and LSU won the bidding.

The split in his game is wide enough to drive a scheme through. His run blocking tape roughly thirty points below the protection work, a finesse profile in a mauler's body, the Utah night put two sacks on film that linger, and an injury took his final three games, ending the season on a medical note. A third offense in three years now has to harness the talent without papering over the half of the position he has not yet learned.

The bet is straightforward: pass protection is the expensive skill and he already has it, two years younger than most of this class. If LSU's SEC slate adds even average run-game physicality, the first-round conversation resumes immediately, because twenty-year-old blindside protectors with this pedigree do not reach day two often. He projects as a rising premium pick whose 2026 tape will either complete the player or define his ceiling.
