Using a very interesting methodology,
the experts at Football Outsiders have attempted to critically evaluate the offensive line play in the NFL. It's something that resists easy, statistical analysis but Football Outsiders has done a terrific job. The bad news is that the Steelers offensive line finished the season ranked 22nd in run blocking and 25th in pass blocking.
With that in mind we now look at the tight ends and offensive linemen available in this year's draft.
