University of Missouri offensive tackle Armand Membou rates as one of the top offensive line prospects in the upcoming NFL Draft. The 6-foot4, 332-pound Lee’s Summit native earned second-team All-SEC honors as a junior this past season, allowing zero sacks and recording a 90.6 overall Pro Football Focus grade. He further boosted his stock with an impressive combine performance, where he ran a 4.91 40-yard dash, vertical jumped 34 inches and put up 31 bench press reps.
With the pre-draft process winding down, BetMissouri.com - home to all news around Missouri sports betting - developed odds projecting what team will select Membou when the draft kicks off on Thursday in Green Bay. Here are the top contenders to take the talented Tiger tackle:
Team | Odds | Percent Change |
New York Jets | -350 | 77.8% |
San Francisco 49ers | +800 | 11.1% |
Miami Dolphins | +1400 | 6.7% |
The Field | +2150 | 4.4% |

Membou should have a wide range of interest across the first round. Quality offensive linemen are at a premium throughout the league and this draft class lacks a clear-cut top lineman, creating a number of potential fits depending on the variance in individual team evaluations. The top three contenders to land him hold picks ranging from No. 7 to No. 14, reflecting these realties.
The New York Jets have a variety of options with their seventh overall pick. New York brought in Justin Fields to start at quarterback; however, the supporting cast does not look up to par. Morgan Moses and free agent Tyron Smith started the majority of games at tackle for the team in 2024. But with both gone (Moses departed for Ne England after one season playing for New York), the Jets need to revamp the perimeter of their line. Last year’s first-round pick, Olu Fashanu, made seven starts as an injury fill in as a rookie and should earn one of the tackle spots in 2025. But that leaves the other side wide open for someone like Membou. Nonetheless, if New York decides to target an offensive playmaker or defender rather than a lineman, it would not be shocking.
Our latest odds update makes the Jets the favorite at -350 odds, or a 77.8% implied probability if Missouri betting apps offered this prop.
Owners of the 11th overall pick, the 49ers (+800 on our odds board) stand out as the second most likely destination for Membou. San Francisco is in the process of reshaping its roster after a disappointing 6-11 season and could easily upgrade at right tackle. Meanwhile, stalwart left tackle Trent Williams turns 37 in July and missed seven games in 2024. Membou played on the right side in Columbia but possesses the requisite traits to transition to left tackle as a pro. Starting him at right tackle and allowing him to learn from the future Hall of Famer Williams before taking over the left side could be the perfect move for Membou’s development, especially because their athletic profiles match closely.
At the high end of Membou’s range, the Miami Dolphins (+1400) draft No. 13 in the first round. They gained just 4.0 yards per carry in 2024, among the NFL's worst averages. Miami allowed 43 sacks, in the middle of the pack leaguewide.
Other teams that could be a fit for Membou in the first round include the New England Patriots (fourth overall pick), Chicago Bears (pick No. 10) and Arizona Cardinals (pick No. 16).
