    49ers at 20 seems low, the Falcons at 28 seems about right. Wharton's new group is supposedly top 3, and familiar face Rashad Butler is the starting RT in Houston, ranked 8. Laughing at Tampa Bay who paid $168 million for their starting front 5.

    For unit analysis (OL, DL, secondary, etc) I prefer metrics over estimated rankings. That said, I agree with them being above average. I've said before that I was stunned at how competent Hangartner was given that I was sure he'd be terrible again.

    If Otah can return to his rookie year form then the OL should be very good. I wonder if we will run the ball enough to take full advantage of it but it should no doubt be a strength.

    Best case, Otah comes back as good as ever and stays healthy, Silatolu is everything he's cracked up to be, does Hangartner, Pollack or Bell start at RG?

    The Chiefs are going to mouth-rape defenses with their running game.

    Sam Bradford is about to get butchered for another season.

    The Steelers OL was so good for so long that it was odd to see them struggle. It does look like they have fixed it.

    This is the final year of Otah's contract? Expect a strong 16 game year, followed by Hurney/Jerry breaking the bank. Then back to Otah's normal 4 games a year in 2013.
