The one positive is that they had Tauscher and especially Clifton higher than McKinnie. I have a Vikings friend (who doesn't know much about the Packers) that thinks McKinnie is clearly better than Clifton. That might help my argument. Of course, I have to look past the ratings I disagree with then.

McKinnie had a very good year last year. He's younger than Clifton and should benefit from Hutchinson being the LG this year. I respect Clifton and agree he's been the better tackle overall but he's pretty dinged up and if it's a chronic knee problem McKinnie could very easily pass him by this year. Even if it's not chronic he might.,

I don't disagree, but the guy I was arguing with thought I was nuts considering Clifton on the same level as McKinnie. Personally, I think Clifton has been a better OT the last few years--although he had a bit of a down year last year (mainly because of penalties) and McKinnie got a little better. If Clifton is healthy, I expect them to be pretty even. McKinnie is banged up also, isn't he?

He broke his finger is what I'm hearing...not too serious but I thnk an lineman is much better with the use of both his hands since the NFL basically allows guys to grab jerseys...something I don't quite understand.

Brett?

He's also a 97 Throw Power...

Here's my analytical take removing most of the backups and players that are now injured or on other teams - in a rough format...

Use the key at the bottom if you're interested in the shading scheme.

Nice work, Fosco.

I'm a number cruncher, of sorts, as part of my job. I copied the data from the website, pasted into a spreadsheet, deleted the nonstarters and extraneous players, added some columns (team, def/off, etc with lookups) and ran a quick pivot off their overall player averages. Then it was a matter of highlighting the order and pasting a screenshot of it here.

If anyone wants to see interesting lineups (e.g., Bears DLine vs. Packers OLine) - just let me know. Wouldn't take but a minute or two...
