Final Pro Football Focus Oline Season Grades

[78thealltimegreat]

 

D. Dawkins: 73.5

R. Saffold: 43.7

M. Morse: 61.4

R. Bates: 61.8

S. Brown: 51.4

For reference a solid NFL starter has a 70 grade…a pro bowl player has an 80ish grade…an all pro has a high 80s to low 90s grade..Trent Williams has the highest at 93.7

 

Josh Allen had over 5000 yards of offense and 42 touchdowns and had a PFF grade of 91.6 the highest of any QB with this line which graded out 26th blocking for him.

Stick with how bad the OL was - how Beane got duped by Saffold and how he paid/promoted Bates perhaps prematurely. This doesn’t need to always wind up a backhanded compliment (excuse?) for Allen.

Image if we had a couple of all pro linemen how much Allen would destroy the league.

Any know how the Bengals starters graded last season? We hear so much about how bad they were just curious how ours compares.

Allen with the protection Burrow had with an o-line of backups would be amazing to watch.

I see some positives in those numbers.  It will be very difficult to actually put a worse line together even if Bean tries.  He can't really mess this up unless he slides Saffold to LT or something.

He drafted Cody Ford and traded Wyatt Teller. So it’s possible.

Honestly, if we walk away from this draft with less than 2 WR and 3 O-linemen, I will be very disappointed.

And Hodgins looked great playing for the Giants. Honestly makes me wonder.

Good lord, I knew it was bad but this is brutal. A testament to Allen and the rest of the offense for doing as much as they did in spite of this.

It’s vomit worthy, but also comforting at the same time. This means that we haven’t seen peak Allen yet, which is amazing to think about.

Roger Saffold shouldn’t be starting in the XFL with that kind of grade

Beane really hasn't done anything with the oline in 5 drafts.  He got Ford (bust), Brown, re-signed Dawkins, and signed Morse.  Throw in a bunch of lower echelon guys.  That's about it.  He has a franchise QB who got hurt this year.  I blame Beane for it because he keeps spending premium picks on the dline.

Perhaps like Teller? But hey Beane is a guru.

 

At least the drought years we just sucked, now we have hope but are doomed by incompetence. 

[Gunsgoodtime]

One of the worst in the league, good job Beane and McDermott.  Every bit of this failure is on them.  They obviously can't evaluate and draft talent.  Look no further than Ford and letting Teller go

[BigAl2526]

It will be shocking if Saffold is playing anywhere in the league next season.  I doubt Buffalo will be able to switch out all their substandard starters before next season, but they need to have two or three new starters who are better than they guys they replace.

They also drafted Brown, who hasn’t amounted to much thus far. 

[Turk71]

  For the 2nd year in a row, after only two years in the league,  the Chiefs' Creed Humphrey is the #1 rated center.

You may remember that even though the interior line was a huge need at the time, Beane decided to pass on Humphrey and draft a 2nd consecutive DE Basham. The Chiefs had the next pick and were not so stupid.

bates is actually really good at center, and much better at LG than saffold.

 

when bates filled in at center last year for morse, the run game was the best it had been.

43.7 lmfao

For all those that say "Im not done with Brown yet... he still has a shot"  GEE WIZ MAN.. the dude had his shot and FAILED. We we need a starting caliber LG and RT. when that happens the people beside them will go up like morse especially.

The biggest liability on this team two years straight - offensive line play.
