I fully respect and admire attempts to rank offensive lines. Admittedly though, I take these positional rankings with as much of a grain of salt as anything. Unless you're in the trenches as a coach or player, it's nearly impossible to tell how effective an OL will be or will gel - even if it's chock full of Pro Bowlers.
Always weird different for me and I like it that way.
Titans from about last to 12th is shocking.
If Moore pans out and the young guys play up to their potential it's very possible. Latham and Skoronski are consistently singled out by OL gurus as doing things well for certain snaps but they've gotta stack games.

To some degree I hear ya.
A lot of the offensive line gurus are all "you don't know ball" and I'm umm that DE went right past him, where's the confusion? It gets me a little defensive when they say this.
I have always gone with charting rushing yards averaged at each position and sacks allowed. I think this paints a good picture. Understand my point of view is selfishly- is the line gonna be a problem for the back or the QB? Will they dominate? I don't need a whole lot.
I found Aaron Brewer fascinating. He's smallish and was a pretty good fill in G for the Titans but as a starting center he was woah bad. I learned a lot when guys spoke of him. It's insane Miami signed him and started him that same off-season that every guru was pointing out all the issues with him being a small center. Still they claim he's not the problem. I watch like five minutes and same ol Aaron.
Someone years ago did point out cold weather and great lines mix well. Really great presentation maybe chase or drinen? Idk but it stuck with me and it's worked well for deciding coin flips in the playoffs.
I love debating Quinton Spain with people. I know him personally and he will even ask me to stop sometimes. He has best ever sacks allowed stats and his rushing ypc are about 4.5 so they're good. College tackle played guard. Bounced around the league, now retired. He's such a great counter to debates about linemen
