The goal is to move him more. Starting out at "average" isn't a bad thing. It only takes a few good plays, consistently, to get grades that move you up the ladder. Plus, a Olineman can statemate a defender, right till the time the runner hits the line of scrimmage and he makes the tackle. Is that a win for the Olineman?
That sounds like a good way to grade OL in the 80s. Preventing a DL from disrupting the QB is the foundation of modern offenses. If a guy can blow DL off of the LOS, that's helpful, but a lot of those types of guys play like Alex Redmond. How many top teams are run first nowadays? Most of those teams use Kubiak style zone concepts and aren't all about blowing dudes off of the LOS. The Ravens seem like a team that does a bit of both, but they have a great defense. I'm inclined to agree with Sunset.
