I put us at 22-26, and that honestly might be optimistic.
There is a reason Quenton Spain was cut mid-season even though the Bills had to eat his signing bonus. And there's a reason he signed for the league minimum this offseason. We can hope he will end up being close to average but as of right now I think it's safe to consider him a backup level tier guard.
Tre Hopkins would normally rank higher if not for his injury. When healthy, he's probably best to described as a slightly below average Center. But now? Who knows. He could be exactly the same, or he could be downright terrible. He's a question mark whose ceiling isn't terribly high to begin with.
Carmen, of course, is a rookie. I'm not really sure what else needs to be said here. He may very well come in and play decently right out of the gate. He may stuggle mightily. He may fall somewhere in between or he may be inconistent, showing flashes at times while showing inexperience at others.
Depth, not look very good here either. XSF I guess is ok as a backup, but in general is just kind of "meh". Who else is there we can count on to step if needed?
I honestly think the ceiling for each of the starters is average. That's the very best any of them could be in 2021. If things play out perfectly we'd have a middle tier interior. That's the best case scenario. The floor though isn't good at all though. They could rank near the bottom at each of their positions. So I kind've split the difference, and ignored our depth issues.
If these guys can all stay healthy, and if Pollack is as good as many claim, perhaps this part of the OL wiggles it's way into a higher teir, say 14-22. I sure hope they do because lord know we need it.
