Looking at their PFF pass-blocking grades from last year:
Brown (Chiefs) - 77.2
Volson - 52.9
Karras - 76.2
Cappa - 71.4
Jonah - 63.9

Typically, PFF grades translate roughly to something like...
80 or higher = A (elite)
70-79 = B (above average)
60-69 = C (serviceable)
50-59 = D (below average)
Below 50 = F (please replace me)

So I'd put Karras and Cappa in the B range with Brown, Jonah is a comfortable C, and Volson a D.
I can't imagine having 3 B-level pass blockers and somehow putting the unit 2nd-to-last in pass blocking.

I'd say, realistically until we can see them in action, they are around 20th, give or take a few spots.

With Jonah at LT and Collins at RT last year, games 3-14, they only gave up 24 sacks in 12 games and Burrow had an NFL best 108 passer rating. 

With OBj at LT and Jonah at RT this year, that production shouldn't be an unrealistic expectation.
