Btw, it's road grader.  A grater is what you use to shred cheese...

Grader, grater.. meh. Maybe I want him to shred the defenses in the run game. Lol

I'm not down on him, I think he's a good player and I say that every time, I just don't think he's a great player. If you're in the top 1/3rd of OG, that means you're in the top 20-21. That doesn't scream top-10 contract to me.

I think Zeitler is basically the Michael Johnson of the OL. He does well, he's a good player, but he's not someone who's great, and he's not worth breaking the bank over.

Also, see the position breakdown in the link below. I can't seem to reconcile the stats you're using with PFF's grading.

For what it's worth, these cash rich teams are blowing up the guard market.  But I don't see 10 better right guards.

ESPN, if you look at the team rushing stats, it shows their YPC and you can order it from top to bottom.

Just because someone spent $17m/yr on Olivier Vernon, doesn't mean I want the Bengals to start paying their good-not-great players ridiculous amount of money, too.
