I feel like there are some intresting analytics for O-linemen now that were not in play 10 years ago, particularly pass-blocking data. No idea how well DeCastro grades out on all such metrics, but here's one report:

Quote: 44. DAVID DECASTRO, G, PITTSBURGH STEELERS
2020 grade: 63.4
Why he's ranked here: DeCastro has seen his run-blocking grades take a hit in recent seasons, which has led to lower overall grades than the career-high 89.0 mark we saw in 2017, but he remains a wall in pass protection. He joins Zack Martin and Brandon Brooks as the only two other active guards with at least 1,000 pass-blocking snaps and a pass-blocking grade of 90.0 or higher since 2015.
