I have no clue what this even means.
It is no secret lineman coming into the NFL the last couple years have not been good mainly because of the spread schemes being ran. The few teams that still run pro style blocking schemes have their guys drafted whether they are "good" or not. Ramczyk from Wisconsin is a perfect example of this right now. He is flying up draft boards because he played well enough in a pro style offense and the rest of the field is so bad someone has to be "the guy". You can be a really good guard in a spread scheme for example, maybe even one of the best, but it doesn't mean you will be drafted high because it's not necessarily a transferable skill set.
My point is very simple, simply because a couple lineman have been drafted from Stanford does not mean he was playing behind one of the best O lines, just one of the best equipped to translate to the NFL. He didn't struggle with the turnover either, so that point is not even really debatable.
