LSU offensive lineman Miles Frazier was named a potential Day 3 NFL draft fit for the Indianapolis Colts by Pro Football Network.
“The Colts lost two strong interior offensive line starters to free agency, in Ryan Kelly and Will Fries. 2024 draftees Tanor Bortolini and Matt Goncalves appear ready for more responsibility, but the unit’s depth took a hit,” wrote PFN. “Miles Frazier is a four-year starter, three in the SEC. He excels in pass protection but is less impressive as a run blocker. Still, he offers durability and positional versatility.”
Frazier measured in at 6-055 and weighed 317 pounds during the pre-draft process. He posted an elite Relative Athletic Score (RAS) of 9.33, which included a 5.24-second 40.
Miles Frazier is a OG prospect in the 2025 draft class. He scored a 9.33 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 117 out of 1730 OG from 1987 to 2025.https://t.co/8uazwtFOgCpic.twitter.com/NakEQ9dT9T

Frazier is going to be one of the more experienced players you’ll see, having played just under 3,300 career snaps over five collegiate seasons, the final three of which came at LSU.
Most of Frazier’s snaps have come at right guard, but he also played 594 snaps at left guard and 782 at left tackle as well, according to PFF.
While PFF’s grading system is not the be-all-end-all by any means, for what it’s worth, Frazier has steadily graded out better in pass protection than in the running game.
Over the last two seasons, he’s been credited with giving up only one sack and just 19 combined pressures over 1,053 pass-blocking snaps.
During that two-year span, Frazier was 41st among all guards in pass-blocking efficiency in 2024 and ninth in that category in 2023. In run-blocking grade, however, he ranked 138th this past year.
“Frazier has things to clean up but carries pro measurables and a play demeanor that gives him a shot to become a starter,” wrote NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein.
At a minimum, the Colts have to bolster the depth of the interior offensive line after losing Ryan Kelly and Will Fries in free agency. But beyond that, the prudent move would be to bring in competition for the starting right guard role.
Perhaps Matt Goncalves can slide over from tackle to guard to fill that role, but assuming that will be a smooth transition comes with obvious risks. While the focus is on the quarterback position for the Colts, success for the offense starts with steady play up front.
Given where Frazier is potentially taken in the draft, he may end up providing depth initially before being relied upon to compete for starting snaps right away.
