Article says we had a successful OL in 2022. Not sure what metric they are using.Gator Country article on the OL and our transfers:

In truth, the grades reflect cumulative averages. Knowing the the actual number of snaps for each “block” would allow some context. Knowing the grading criteria would also help. Is it a “Plus” or “Minus” for each snap? Do you get partial credit for, say, good footwork even though you weren’t able to lock up your guy or got called for holding?We always used Plus/Minus and a bunch of the college guys at clinics and breakout groups used similar grading, but I don’t know how much the increased analytics might have added more criteria to be considered, having been out of the coaching and clinics for several years.
One funny story about grades and how they can be manipulated…we had a secondary guy who fancied himself a hard @ss when grading his DBs and we lost a tough defensive struggle in our first game 7-3 (missed two FGs that would have won it). On Sunday when we met, we all had to give a synopsis of our group and their grades. Most of us were tough but fair, acknowledging a need for improvement. Mr. DB Hard@ss graded all but one of his starters as “F” (below 70%) in a ham-handed attempt to one up the rest of us and maybe somehow curry favor with the HC. No bueno. The HC’s comment was “You mean to tell me that we were playing with three failures in the secondary at any given time during the game? Hell, that means we were essentially playing the game with one DB! That shti ain’t gonna cut it!” We rode his @ss for the next week like Gus and Woodrow did Jake Spoon. His DBs never graded “F” again and we were spared further virtue signaling (even though that wasn’t a thing back then).
Have seen that before. Another factor that can render grades virtually a moot point is the quality of depth. If the five regulars we saw this season were our best and they got the majority of the snaps, you can’t help but wonder just how bad the reserves were. Then you ask is that a coaching issue, an evaluation / recruiting issue, a talent / ability issue, or all of the above or a combination? Clearly there are a lot of holes in that position group and I don’t think we are addressing them in a way that has the greatest chances of showing the marked improvement necessary as we get ready to face what many think is the toughest schedule in CFB. Maybe we make a few more upgrade additions before all is said and done? Better hope so!

I actually think the 2022 line should have been one of the best offensive lines we've had outside of 2018 in many years personnel wise...just goes to show you how bad the coaching is/was
Drawing a conclusion from a snapshot, but what GOOD OL coach is photo'd recruiting a PWO two days before NSD when we did not have anything close to a top OL class locked in?
I'm not interested in an OT who has failed with two teams and is on his third. No thank you! Whoever gave him that NIL value is high is can be. Who is paying a guy that to be a backup which is all he is.
Exactly and a lot of these estimates are 4 year estimates, nothing guaranteed, including if you don't play up to blue chip potential.
