You aren't going to get accurate PFF grades for NT's very often, their job is to take up multiple Defenders and let others make the tackle.

Great point Nate. It is relationships like this that helps pull FAs away from other Teams. I'm sure the contract was competitive, but the connections matter. 

As related to PFF, I know the validity of it for certain positions have been debated ad nauseam on the previous and current board. And yes, interior OL and DL is difficult to grade because one cannot always tell assignments of each position on a given play.
