re: This OL is no worse than 2012

Collins looked like a beast but st the some time did you think Turner was a NFL caliber guard in 2012? He wasn’t even a first rounder when he left the next year.

Are you seriously trying to downplay Turner? Dude was a total beast, people just always get mad when an OL leaves here early and it's not a 1st rounder, doesn't mean they weren't awesome. He was still a 3rd round pick and has been STARTING in the NFL for how many years now? The majority of the fanbase has no clue how to judge interior OL play.

Collins was obviously better than a Brumsfield even as a Sophmore.

Brumfield is one of the worst routine starters we've had on the OL in recent memory. He graded out pretty terribly this year and routinely got benched for a true freshman who struggled himself.

But otherwise Vadal was a guard playing tackle by necessity.

And still was notably better than our RT we put out there this year, I mean let's not sit here and pretend Deculus did really anything remotely good at RT. The dude needs to be put on the left side of the line. Deculus grades by PFF at RT this year:

56.2
57.9
56.7
58.9
50.6
53.7
50.5
61.5
67.1
57.9

A mid 60s is considered average...yeah...
