Composite OL/DL Ratings

I thought this was pretty fair-
Rank-Team-Off--Def--O Score--D Score-- Composite Score
1 Minnesota B A 4.0 5.5 9.5
2 New England B+ B+ 4.5 4.5 9.0
3 New York Giants B A- 4.0 5.0 9.0
4 Tennessee A- B- 5.0 3.5 8.5
5 New Orleans A- B- 5.0 3.5 8.5
NFC South / Saints (Overall ranking: three-way tie for fourth)
Projected starting offensive linemen (2009 Pro Bowlers in bold): OLT Jermon Bushrod, OLG Carl Nicks, C Jonathan Goodwin, ORG Jahri Evans, ORT Jon Stinchcomb.
Projected starting defensive linemen: DLE Alex Brown, NT Remi Ayodele, DT Sedrick Ellis, DRE Will Smith:
Insider comments: "New Orleans' line is stout. Their offensive tackles are not that great, but they don't have to be with those two guards in there. They may have the best pair of guards in the league. The tackles just don't get beat underneath. They create a pocket for (Drew) Brees to step up." … "The Saints' defensive line got better this year. Charles Grant was an underachiever. I was surprised the Bears let Alex Brown go. He has never been a sack artist, but he is very solid against the run. Will Smith is a man on the other side. The light started to come on for Sedrick Ellis last year. When he is on the field, it's a different game."

Stinchcomb was a probowler last year?

It stills pains me to see Ayodele's name in there. He was absolutely horrible last year.

Stinch is solid but he's not on the same level as our guards.

Apparently no one is.

I agree that Stinch is a solid reliable player that has improved in time- not really star level though. Off the top of my head I'd say Pro Bowl is 50% BS.

I completely agree.
I was actually surprised when the Saints gave him that 4 or 5 year deal. I figured Strief would come in and start and allow Bushrod to be the swing. Boy was I wrong.
