Maybe points per rushing yards as well.
In my long-time redraft league (the Heartland Football League, since 1989), we use OL's as a brake on positive scoring - the league is designed to mirror NFL scoring in a week-to-week head-to-head format, so we build in negatives at various postions (-2 for interceptions thrown or fumbles lost, -3 for interceptions returned for TDs or fumbles returned for a TD, for example - TDs scored by an offensive player are worth 3 points) - with OL's the idea is to draft the OL that hits your team for the least negative scores in a season. Of late, that has been Indianapolis OL year in and year out. In this league, OL scoring is as follows: -1 pt for every sack allowed, with a +1 for any game in which total rushing yardage is 135 or more. The OL's usually score 0 pts or less each week, with an occassional +1 pt. Usually, the top OL units get drafted around the same time as the top D/ST unit (mid-rounds in a 12 team, 18 round draft).

987 and 440? Tomlinson scored 427 last year. I'm gonna guess I'm just missing something and it's not that OLs are the first 12 picks of your draft.Help me out here. 
Our scoring is non-standard:Top QB scores over 1200- top 30 averages about 50 pts./gmTop OL scores around 850- top 30 averages about 40 pts./gm (SD was unusual this past year)Top RB scores around 550-600- top 30 averages about 30 pts./gmTop WR scores around 550-600- top 30 averages about 30 pts./gmIDP's and special teams score similiarly to WR/RB's.Hope this helps the confusion987 and 440?

Interesting. This is the only thing I have seen that goes beyong anything more than a token attempt at incorporating O-Line. It still is linked to team output but is better than what most use. Are you limited to starting OL? I mean, can you draft the 3rd string G from a great Offensive team?
I was once in a league almost exactly like this. I loved it as well. Anything that can add to the strategy of building a team.It's fun to do a rookie draft when you need to also know what O linemen to draft as well. I believe I drafted Gallery with my 3rd pick one year.jgb95 said:
But when I made the selection it was looked at as a good pick.
