RANKING ALL 32 NFL OFFENSIVE LINES THIS SEASON
Senior Analyst Sam Monson ranks the league's offensive lines from top to bottom following the 2016 regular season.
The 2016 regular season has drawn to a close, and with it, another season with incredible highs and lows from the big guys in the trenches have been recorded in the Pro Football Focus database.
We have seen a season in which some offensive lines have been the bedrock of their offense—the foundation on top of which everything else is built—and others have been the sand upon which their figurative houses have been built.
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.
Without further delay, here’s the ranking of all 32 NFL offensive lines in the 2016 regular season:
27. Los Angeles Rams (Preseason Rank: 31)
Top overall grade: LG Roger Saffold, 80.7 (No. 26)
Top pass-blocking grade: LG Roger Saffold, 80.7 (No. 40)
Top run-blocking grade: LG Roger Saffold, 78.6 (No. 28)
It’s probably time to give up on Greg Robinson at left tackle. Robinson was flagged 14 times this season, and those penalties didn’t save him from surrendering eight sacks and 40 total QB pressures on 567 pass-blocking snaps. Robinson was also among the worst run-blocking tackles in the league, earning a 36.1 run-blocking grade on the year. Most of the rest of this line were below-average overall, but Roger Saffold actually had a solid season at guard, but for a rough few weeks early in the year. Saffold didn’t allow a sack over the final seven games of the season, and surrendered only one hit in that time, while consistently run blocking well. Rob Havenstein also had a solid year, backing up his rookie season with another capable effort, though his pass blocking dipped from a season ago, and he allowed eight sacks.
