Oakland coach Jon Gruden has stressed building the offensive line ever since returning to the Raiders before last season. "We thought it was really important as we continue to develop this offensive line." While left tackle has long been the highest-paid position because of protecting a QB's blind side, the value of guards has gone up in recent years.
