It’s not a difficult concept to grasp, Jack. Think about it. 

Calling it one of the worst is stupid, because you simply don’t know. 
It could be one of the worst, it could be middling, it could surprise people. 

One of the worst on paper? 
Sure, I guess. Maybe.
It just makes so little sense to try quantifying something so unknown. 

Calling it definitively one of the worst is dumb. It’s a negative assumption at worst and gross speculation at best. 

Identifying where our d line stands is a completely different animal due to consistency year to year  with players, coaching, scheme, and only a rotational rookie. 
All four of those factors are different this year at TE.

NYC, I'm calling it one of the worst based on everything we know right now.  The Texans have the worst offensive line in the division based on everything we know right now. That isn't a definitive rank of where they will be by the end of the season , it's , very specifically , based on the paper of what we know.  If their rookies hits and Matt Kalil turns randomly good and their interior plays well then suddenly they might not be a bad unit. But we don't know any of that yet, we can only judge them on the current info

I don't know why you think an analysis of our position groups current strength =s anything other than judging it based on what we know about the group currently. It's a pretty simple concept to be honest.  

I think the Dolphins have one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL despite new starters on it. Most NFL fans would agree on that based on everything we know right now, if they start playing well over the weeks then we can update our views relative to how other NFL lines play. I'll be doing the same with our TE group and pretty much every other position group
