This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

PFF: ND will have the nation's best O-line in 2020. by G.K.Chesterton

Most of the article is pay-walled, but there is still some good info even in the free part.

Excerpt from College football: Notre Dame will continue to churn out NFL-caliber offensive line talent with the country’s best OL in 2020:

Of these schools, the Wisconsin offensive linemen actually produced the highest combined WAR value — and it really isn’t close. In fact, Wisconsin offensive linemen who have played in the NFL since 2006 have produced more than double the amount of WAR than 116 of the 130 FBS teams. You can thank Joe Thomas, Travis Frederick, Kevin Zeitler and Ryan Ramczyk for a large majority of that. There is, however, a college program that has rivaled the Badgers for the top spot as of late: the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Notre Dame is in the next tier as far as the total WAR value its offensive linemen have produced in the NFL since 2006 (ninth among FBS teams, to be exact). But over the last five years in particular, they’re second in that metric — right behind Wisconsin. The Fighting Irish have had six linemen produce a positive WAR value, tying for the most with the Badgers. And in 2019 specifically, Notre Dame had the most total NFL offensive line WAR among all colleges by a landslide.

The trio of Fighting Irish alum — Quenton Nelson, Ronnie Stanley and Zack Martin — all ranked among the 10 most valuable offensive linemen in the entire NFL (first, fifth and ninth, respectively). No college had more than one in the top 10, nor did another college have three in the top 25.
