BACH
Superbowl, Homeboy!
He ranks 18th in the league...In the grand scheme of things, how good is the second-highest-graded OL on a 1-6 team?
I like to think of it like this:
(1) where would he rank as the starter on a playoff team?
(2) where does he rank among the other starters at his position?
It is hard to evaluate OL play as a layman and from the outside. Extremely hard. That said, I think Froholdt could be the 5th best OL on a playoff team, and he's among the bottom third of starters at his position.
There are places we're much, much worse. Center is alongside TE for me a position that's difficult to scout and get value from with a high pick. There are other problems to focus on.
For example, the absolute zeroes who have been playing to Froholdt's immediate left.
I think he would rank 4th best on a high quality OL. Right now he ranks 2nd. That is not on him. That is on the rest of the starting OL.
Not pretending to be an NFL level expert. But I do have years of following NFL, years of working in media industry covering NFL and about 12 years of actually playing OL myself, so I do have an opinion.
