Top overall grade: LG James Carpenter, 83.0 (No. Bengals ranked near bottom of PFF offensive line ranking While it’s been a very productive offseason for the Bengals , their offensive line is still a major question mark heading into next season. Through the first three weeks of the 2020 season, only two teams have offensive lines playing better than Cleveland’s revamped unit. Donald Stephenson has rarely graded out well at tackle, and Russell Okung had his best year in 2012. The additions of Taylor Decker (Ohio State) and move of Riley Reiff back to right tackle should help, but the line doesn’t have any clear strong point—just a lot of potential. At their best, this unit is the best line in football, but left tackle Tyron Smith missed time due to injury, and on the other side, RT Doug Free has been a problem player for the team, surrendering eight sacks on the season and struggling with his run blocking. Lewan hasn’t quiet reached the play that warrants an early-first-round pick, though he has still been a solid tackle overall. The line is full of players who graded better in previous years than they did in 2015—that's outside of Joe Berger, of course, who played so well as John Sullivan’s replacement that Sullivan was released from the roster this offseason. Projected starters: LT Taylor Decker, LG Laken Tomlinson, C Travis Swanson, RG Larry Warford, RT Riley Reiff, Roster depth: Graham Glasgow, Corey Robinson, Cornelius Lucas. Projected starters: LT Ryan Clady, LG James Carpenter, C Nick Mangold, RG Brian Winters, RT Breno Giacomini, Roster depth: Dakota Dozier, Brandon Shell, Wesley Johnson. 40), Top run-blocking grade: LG Roger Saffold, 78.6 (No. The Browns finished just 23rd in PFF’s 2019 offensive line rankings, but they have the pieces to make the biggest move in the NFL — especially if Wills develops quickly as a rookie. 2), Top pass-blocking grade: LT Andrew Whitworth, 92.5 (No. 7). 26), Top run-blocking grade: LT Eric Fisher, 82.8 (No. Mitchell Schwartz signed with the Chiefs, and Alex Mack is now suiting up for the Falcons. The Seahawks are taking a lot of risks with their offensive line heading into the 2016 season. The Lions have a very young offensive line that they’ve built through the draft. The Bears had four offensive linemen last season earn an above-average grades, and three of them left via free agency. 9). Center Brandon Linder had an excellent season, which is particularly impressive given the play of the rest of the Jaguars' O-line around him. Paradis was by far the best performer on this line, though, and while the rest of the unit was below-average, right tackle was the Achilles heel over the season, where Donald Stephenson and Ty Sambrailo engaged in a game of one-upmanship to see who could get beat more often. Linder allowed 13 total QB pressures all season, pass blocking on 611 occasions, and was also one of the gameâs best run-blocking centers with a PFF grade of 84.0 in that area. We saw 2019 third-round pick and right guard Nate Davis take a huge leap forward in his second season, and he was one of three offensive linemen on the team to garner at least one All-Pro vote (left guard Rodger Saffold and … The play of center Joe Berger saves this unit from being ranked among the very worst in the league, and while Alex Boone didnât exactly justify his contract, he was solid in his first year with the team. Saffold didnât allow a sack over the final seven games of the season, and surrendered only one hit in that time, while consistently run blocking well. Well, if you believe the recent rankings released by Pro Football Focus, the Steelers unit enters the season ranked 14th overall. The Browns finished with the highest run blocking grade at 81.2 over the 49ers (81.0) and Colts (78.8). They added Brandon Brooks (Texans), who has improved his pass-blocking each year, and at his best, is among the better run-blocking guards in the league. Projected starters: LT Anthony Castonzo, LG Jack Mewhort, C Ryan Kelly, RG Denzelle Good, RT Joe Reitz, Roster depth: Jonotthan Harrison, Le’Raven Clark, Joe Haeg. Meanwhile, RG Kevin Zeitler made the PFF All-Pro second team after another fine season. Projected starters: LT Joe Staley, LG Zane Beadles, C Daniel Kilgore, RG Anthony Davis, RT Trent Brown, Roster depth: Josh Garnett, Marcus Martin, Andrew Tiller. RT Marcus Cannon has gone from a liability to a second-team All-Pro, and RG Shaquille Mason has undergone a similar transformation when it comes to pass protection. The Bucs' line will still likely look worse in 2016 than it did in 2015, though, thanks to the retirement of Logan Mankins—and the fact that his replacement, J.R. Sweezy, is not close to the same player as his predecessor. Projected starters: LT Terron Armstead, LG Tim Lelito, C Max Unger, RG Andrus Peat, RT Zach Strief, Roster depth: Senio Kelemete, Landon Turner, Jahri Evans. 2), Top run-blocking grade: RG Kevin Zeitler, 83.1 (No. The Vikings revamped part of their line in free agency, adding Alex Boone and Andre Smith, which also allows Brandon Fusco to move back to right guard.

The Minnesota Vikings didn't have the worst offensive line in the NFL during the 2016 season according to Pro Football Focus, but they looked the part. On the flip-side, the Cardinals could also free-fall down this list if even just a few things don't go their way. Top overall grade: LG Marshal Yanda, 92.0 (No. Key stat: Marcus Gilbert was the only right tackle last season with 300 or more pass blocks and three or fewer combined sacks and hits. Adjusted Line Yards = 3.99 . Projected starters: LT Matt Kalil, LG Alex Boone, C Joe Berger, RG Brandon Fusco, RT Andre Smith, Roster depth: T.J. Clemmings, Nick Easton, Zac Kerin. Mack made the PFF All-Pro second team with a grade of 90.5, just 0.2 off the highest grade over the season. LT David Bakhtiari surrendered just 20 total QB pressures, and is the leagueâs only left tackle to be charged for less pressure than the QB he is protecting (Rodgers has been at fault for 23). 14), Top pass-blocking grade: LT Terron Armstead, 86.2 (tied for No. At right tackle, Mike Remmers was average in run-blocking, but his poor pass-blocking was made apparent in Super Bowl 50.

Projected starters: LT Cordy Glenn, LG Richie Incognito, C Eric Wood, RG John Miller, RT Jordan Mills, Roster depth: Cyrus Kouandjio, Seantrel Henderson, Patrick Lewis. Over the last three seasons, New York has only invested fourth- and fifth-round picks in O-linemen, so this unit may become a long-term problem. Spencer Long proved to be a huge upgrade over the level of play the team had a year ago at the center position, and when the team lost Kory Lichtensteiger to injury early in the year, it actually provided them another upgrade. 6), Top pass-blocking grade: G Josh Sitton, 91.2 (No. Shipley, 82.4 (No. All five starters earned impressive grades in both run blocking and pass protection, paving the way to 2,180 rushing yards as a team, 1,777 of which came from their first two running backs, DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry.

He finished with an overall grade of 90.7 and missed out on PFFâs All-Pro team by a hair, narrowly squeezed out by Alex Mack (Atlanta) and Travis Frederick (Dallas). This is a line that, if everyone is at their best, will be very good; if not, it will be below-average. Mitch Morse graded like an average center in 2015, which is good for a second-round rookie.

Our exclusive database, featuring the most in-depth collection of NFL player performance data.

Joel Bitonio had a great rookie year that he just couldn't replicate in 2015, while John Greco also produced his worst season of the PFF era (since 2007). 12), Top run-blocking grade: C Alex Mack, 91.6 (No. The play of Kelvin Beachum was a massive disappointment, given what he has shown in the past.

Pro Football Focus, for instance, rarely shies away from being critical of the Vikings offensive line, and the outlet has mostly not rated the Minnesota offensive line very highly in 2020. However, the left tackle position is still concerning, and if anyone is injured, Pittsburgh doesn’t have a lot of depth. It was a badly kept secret going into the regular season that the Cincinnati Bengals would struggle in the offensive trenches. Williams surrendered 16 total QB pressures in 12 games, and was only flagged three times, while also run blocking well.

Humphries, Roster depth: Earl Watford, Evan Boehm, John Wetzel. David DeCastro and Ramon Foster were both among the top 16 guards in the league. Both Osemele and Austin Howard have position-versatility, so the Raiders can let their favorite backup join the lineup if an injury occurs.

The offensive tackle combination of Charles Leno Jr. and Bobby Massie was a different story, however, as the pair combined to surrender 73 total QB pressures and 14 penalties all season, with neither grading well in the run game. The other four starters top out at overall grades of 52.3, and the best-ranked among them (LG Mark Glowinski) is the 63rd-ranked player at his position league-wide. The ranking does justice to all the issues the line faced in 2016. I understand if not everyone agrees with me, though. Projected starters: LT King Dunlap, LG Orlando Franklin, C Matt Slauson, RG D.J. Mitchell Schwartz didnât quite live up to his last season in Cleveland, while Eric Fisher on the other side continues his marginal improvement, still exhibiting more issues than you would like as a pass blocker.

We're going to take a run through the league and rank every offensive line in the NFL this season, from best to worst, based largely on PFF's grades, but also factoring in external factors, such as the quarterbacks those lines were blocking for, and the kind of scheme they were blocking within. However, there was a solid performance on the team’s front line that might have boosted the ranking.

The Browns used to have one of the best offensive line’s in football as recently as early 2015, but free agency has forced the unit to take a step back. 9). That’s good enought for 11th among interior offensive linemen. We have reached the point in the list where every remaining O-line is, at best, severely flawed.
