How would you grade our starters?

I read the recent ESPN article from PFF grading out every NFL starting line-up and how the Lions came up 31st. I think the grading is off, and I'd like to compare my estimates to that provided for their top team, the Bucs.

QB Brady 93.3, Goff my ballpark estimate 89

RB Fournette 65.5, Swife my estimate 80

WR Evans 74.9, Tyrell Williams estimate 68

WR Goodwin 76.0, St Paul estimate 68

WR Brown 82.2, Cephus estimate 72

TE Gronkowski 70.9, Hockenson 77

TE Howard 54.9, Fells 55

OT Smith 72.8, Decker 84

OG Marpet 80.7, Jonah Jackson 76

OC Jensen 63.6, Ragnow 77

OG Cappa 67.7, Vaitai 73

OT Wirfs 84.1, Sewell 79

DL Suh 62.4, McNeill 73

DL Vea 89.9, Brockers 88

DL Gholston 61.6, Onwuzurike 68

LB Barrett 74.7, Romeo Okwara 72

LB Pierre-Paul 66.3, Flowers 74

LB David 78.8, Collins 77

LB White 48.1, Anzalone 50

CB Davis 65.7, Okudah 71

CB Dean 75.4,Oruwariye 70

S Murphy-Bunting 59.6, Harris 60

S Winfield 70.3, Walker 72

I think we're a lot closer than others' think. QB is the only position that might have a bit of a difference, but I'd attribute that to Brady being a GOAT candidate.
