"A movement tackle who wins with landmarks and calm feet rather than force, and whose NFL fate was always going to depend on landing in an offense that blocks with angles instead of asking him to move people."Pre-draft read
Three-year right tackle in a high-volume Washington pass offense, and the value starts with how quickly he gets to his landmarks. Rosengarten sets with short, compact steps, mirrors width with his hips instead of lunging with his hands, and keeps his feet alive on the rep after the rusher wins the first move.
He is a movement blocker before he is a mauler: he reaches three-techniques on outside zone, climbs to the second level under control and finds work in space when his man is covered. Against power he sustains more than he displaces, and long-armed bull rushers can walk him back before he resets. The athletic ceiling is real, the anchor is the swing variable, and the signature is that he almost never panics when a rep goes bad.
Zone-based run game paired with a play-action and movement passing attack, where the right tackle is asked to reach, climb and protect on the move rather than displace defenders at the point of attack.
Year 1: plug-and-play starting right tackle in a zone offense with chip and tight end help against elite power. Ceiling: long-term top-half starting right tackle who erases speed and lets the run game live on angles.
A gap and power run offense that asks the right tackle to down block a three-technique off the ball on early downs and to anchor alone against long, heavy bull rushers on true seven-step dropbacks.
Give him help on the bull rush early and build the run concepts on the perimeter — his money reps are reaches and true sets, not displacement blocks.

Roger Rosengarten Joins The Lounge
Team interview covering his rookie season and transition to starting right tackle.
Rosengarten is a right tackle who plays like a movement piece. Everything on his tape runs through quickness — out of his stance, to his landmark, up to the second level — and he leans on that quickness rather than on mass or violence. The frame is long and lean, the play temperament is calm, and the identity is a zone tackle who wins angles early and survives contact late.
He started 15 games at right tackle for a 14-1 Washington team that reached the national championship game, working inside a Joe Moore Award offensive line and protecting a pass offense that threw as much as anyone in the country. The volume matters: he took hundreds of true pass sets against Pac-12 speed and rarely got beat clean around the corner. The flags are strength-based. He catches power instead of striking it, his hands land wide when he gets in a hurry, and gap-scheme down blocks stall because he sustains instead of moving people.
Boards had him as a clean Day 2 tackle in the back half of round two, generally the tenth to twelfth tackle in a deep class, with the caveat that he needed weight and an NFL strength program before he could be trusted on an island. Taking him at 62 into a zone-heavy run offense that had a plan for his weaknesses was the version of this pick that made the most sense.
- 01
Pass-set footwork
Compact, on-time kick slide that gets him to depth against wide speed without over-setting or opening the inside gate.
- 02
Zone run fit
Natural reach blocker who covers up three-techniques on outside zone by winning the angle before contact ever happens.
- 03
Second-level work
Climbs with balance, tracks moving linebackers and finishes combination blocks instead of falling off them in space.
- 04
Recovery athleticism
Loses the first step and still redirects; his hips and feet give him a second chance on reps that should already be over.
- 05
Big-game résumé
Started every game of a 14-1 national title run behind a Joe Moore Award line, in one of the highest-volume pass offenses in the country.
- 01
Anchor versus power
Long-armed bull rushers walk him into the pocket; he catches the strike instead of delivering it and concedes depth before resetting.
- 02
Play strength at contact
Not a displacement blocker; short-yardage down blocks stall because he sustains and steers rather than moving bodies off the ball.
- 03
Hand placement
Hands land wide and late when he hurries, which invites rushers into his chest and turns clean sets into grabbing and holding risk.
- 04
Functional mass
Played in the low 300s on a lean frame and needed real NFL weight to hold up against edge power across a 17-game season.

A dash means the figure is not published by a source we trust — never a zero we invented.
Athletic zone-scheme right tackle who becomes a durable, above-average starter whose value is tied to the run scheme around him.
Light-footed, athletic right tackle who turns pass-set quickness into a decade of quality starts once the strength catches up.
Not the outcome — the low end is a movement tackle who never anchors, holds a starting job by default and gets replaced the moment the roster upgrades.
Everything above is the pre-draft evaluation. This section is what actually happened — updated year over year.
Baltimore played him immediately. Rosengarten appeared in all 17 games as a rookie in 2024 and made 14 starts at right tackle, landing on the PFWA All-Rookie Team while blocking for an offense that led the NFL in yards per game and posted one of the most efficient yards-per-play seasons in league history. In 2025 he took the job outright: 17 games, 17 starts, better than 1,000 snaps, and a PFF profile that graded him in the top third of qualifying tackles in both pass protection and run blocking. He entered 2026 as the entrenched starting right tackle with no competition behind him.
In hindsight the pick reads as a scheme match that turned into value. The strength concerns were real and never fully disappeared — he is still better sliding and reaching than he is dropping his hips and driving — but Baltimore's run game is built on movement and angles, so his best traits get asked for every week. A second-round tackle who starts 31 of 34 possible games in two years and grades as an above-average NFL starter is a clear hit at 62, and the only open question left is whether the anchor grows enough to make him a top-ten tackle instead of a very good one.
