Optimistically, I'll go 11-17 hoping that Mims grows from last year and the new OL coach is an improvement over Pollack.
But last year, I considered the OT group to be just ok when factoring in Ford especially.
There was just far less complaining because of the atrocious Guard performance taking the focus away.

[J24]

11-17 as of right now but I expect them to be top 10 by end of the season.

[*Nate (formerly eliminate08)*]

Think they will be top 10 after this season, but right now, yeah 11-17. Orlando played damn good last year and for a rookie Mims was
one of the best. But Mims has to show some growth this season to get out of mid pack. I think with better Guard play that will really
help. Cannot forget Mims did what he did while playing next to maybe the worst Guard in the NFL last season.

My optimism is extremely high for Amarius Mims.

Completely agree regarding Mims.

I see 11-17 leading the charge. I have a hard time finding 10 better than Mims and OBj, with Ford as swing tackles

I voted 11-17 I wanted to put them higher, but I want to see another year. Honestly think Mims is the real deal and will be one of the best RT. OBj, I have never been a big fan of. Maybe it's the gap in his teeth IDK. Ford earned my respect last year. I cannot believe the number of people that downplays what he did last season. He wasn't perfect but played admirable and even injured. 

[*jason*]

They're probably middle of the pack in the 16 to 17 range, but I'm predicting a big leap from Mims this year. That'll change that ranking pretty significantly.

I don't like OBJ cause he's always wearing that raccoon tail, so the gapped teeth are a legit issue. But when I watch him on the field I see a lineman in a different class than the other 4 on the field.

I agree with you.  I don’t follow all 32 teams that I’m familiar enough with their back ups to adequately rate them .  Several teams with rookies in their group and second year guys like mims.  I felt tb and Philly are clearly better.  Then it became a bit of a pick em.  I went with top ten.

Agree.  

But seriously, Orlando is about the least athletic OL in the league even if he is damn good, he does it with technique and strength.

[Nicomo Cosca]

Need to see Mims take the next step before I can rank them a top half duo. I expect that he will.

[*bfine32*]

My top 5:

DET
PHI
LAC
MIN
CIN

Let's see uhhh Atlanta, Baltimore, Buffalo, Denver, Detroit, Green Bay, Indianapolis, Chargers, Rams, Minnesota, Philadelphia. That puts me at 11 with Seattle and Carolina having arguments so 11-17 fits for me.

Of course, opinions vary, but what folks miss about our LT is that last year was the first time he ever missed time due to injury, and he still played a few with a broken leg. You have BAL above them, yet Stanley has played a full season once in his 8-year career, and DEN/MIN may be the only 2 that have a better swing tackle in the league. 

But difference of opinion is what makes the threads interesting.

Good points and as you say Cody Ford became a decent backup last year as well. Depth is a big deal.

Yeah, I probably went a little high placing them in the Top 5. But I expect Mims to make a huge leap this year. Last year was his rookie year, and going from College playoffs, to the offseason workouts, to training Camp as the slotted backup, he still did well when thrust into the starting role. 

This year he getsan off-season and reps as the first team RT during TC

Even if they're around 10ish, i think the poll was 11-17? That's still good for your bookends. Now they just need to solidify that interior.

No doubt, I just looked at the list and struggled to find 10 trios better

[XsandOs]

I find it interesting that there is no LT on the scale of Munoz, Ogden, Pace, Jones, Thomas, Roaf, Boselli at this moment in NFL.
