I’ll use a Madden rating system to give you an idea of my view of each player. The old school rating system not the garbage in later games).
Rating:
82
Reiff is our best offensive lineman in my opinion. LT is hard to find and he does a decent job. He’ll never be an elite guy but I’d rate him “above average” for the tackle position. He could be better with someone other than a marginal player next to him. I’d leave him be at LT.
O’Neill
78
O’Neill was a slightly above average player for the position. This is a very good rating for a 23 year old rookie. His future at RT looks good to me. I wouldn’t move him to LT.
* These are it for starting caliber players in my opinion. Maybe one other can be a starter but is a question due to injuries.
Pat Elflein
68
In my opinion Elflein has been slow to develop. He gives up too much pressure and is not good enough in the run. He’s shown flashes of being a starter but must make significant progress to be considered a starting level player.
Mike Remmers
66
Backup at this point in his career. I’d cut him as savings will be around $4 million.
Danny Isidora
61
Disappointing in limited exposure. 5th round pick that looks to be a miss.
Tom Compton
65
Hailing from my alma mater I had hoped he would work out. I wouldn’t re-sign.
Aviante Collins
*60
I haven’t seen much of him hence the asterisk. I don’t have high expectations for him but I noticed people mention him.
Rashod Hill
67
Simply not a starter. Would be a reasonable depth player.
No other linemen strike me as viable future starters. This is an abysmal overall group I would rank as a bottom 3 in the league. They give up an insane number of pressure. Guys go completely unblocked by guards when they completely whiff.
This is by far our most pressing need and will need to be addressed immediately if the team wants to contend next year.
Rating key:
100-90 Top flight to elite player
80-90 Above average NFL starter
70-80 Average player at the position
60-70 Below average player and not a starter
50-60 Poor
< 50 Is not NFL level player
* - limited production which leaves evaluation of preseason work most often used for analysis
