He has a grade of 77.0 (pass - 82.3, run - 75.2).

As for the other OL...
Hart - 29th OT with a rating of 64.0 (64.2, 60.3)
Smith - 36th OT with a rating of 59.5 (61.1, 53.3) 
Jordan - 46th OG with a rating of 56.2 (58.3, 53.6)
Miller - 57th OG with a rating of 52.9 (69.9, 40.5)

Let's keep it real.  Over at Bengals Jungle there is some good tape of the line not blocking anyone on the second level, especially Hopkins which allowed Wagner to run free and stuff our run game.  It's why PFF isn't the whole story.  But mostly this is abysmal and we won't get very far with this line and teams learn to exploit it.  It severely limits what our offense can do if we can't run block or pass block longer than 2 seconds if you know what I mean.   Sample also showed why it takes a few years for TE's to develop and why he was probably a really bad pick at 2.   He was getting crushed and looked lost.
