You could make an argument — as it seems I am with this list — that Mitchell Schwartz isn’t just the best right tackle in the league but the best overall tackle and possibly best offensive lineman in the league. His run to the Super Bowl was one of the greatest postseason performances of any player at any position in NFL history, but because he’s a right tackle, few people noticed. Schwartz pass-blocked for 142 snaps — with his team in obvious passing, hurry-up situations for much of it — and allowed just one hurry. He is an elite lineman.

I’m actually a bit surprised that Schwartz is ranked so highly by PFF. He was recently named the most underrated player on the Chiefs’ roster by the same outlet. They’ve been one of his biggest supporters over the years, and they’re really high on his postseason performance last season. Still, this feels high for a player that’s considered underrated in NFL circles.
