Overall ceiling of OL talent/play in today's game vs DL talent/play ceiling is quite large. Years ago the OL had the advantage but now with all the practice restrictions and the fact all the top end athletes are now growing up as rush players instead of middle linebackers or running backs.

We do have a good OL compared to the lines league wide. 10-20 years ago it would be different. But this is the new reality of the today's league.
