Washington Redskins (Bronze medal)

Trent Williams, Brandon Scherff, Chase Roullier, Shawn Lauvao, Morgan Moses, T.J. Clemmings, Ty Nsekhe, Tyler Catalina

This group fails to medal any higher, largely for one reason.

Health.

The best player along their line, Trent Williams, has not been able to play a full season since 2013. Shawn Lauvao has not been available for all 16 games since 2012.

When 40% of your starting unit misses that much time, it’s detrimental.

The other reason is skill level.

Williams and Scherff have both been named to multiple Pro-Bowl’s but otherwise, there’s a major drop off. Lauvao and Morgan Moses are decent but there is no depth to speak of at all.

Thankfully for this group, the Giants are so putrid.

Washington is well behind the other two teams in this division when it comes to the offensive line.
