Seems more and more guys on the DL will move around, or teams will get 2 DEs. So there's less distinction in value between LT and RT than there used to be.
The 2nd highest paid T in the league is a RT. 2 of the top 5 are RTs. There's still some priority towards LT today, but it sure seems to be shrinking.
Plus probably the college game just not preparing OL as well as it used to.
