Strongly disagree.

Teams still draft LTs higher than RTs, pay them more, and teams mostly put their best pass rushers on the offensive left side.

Just because they do doesn't mean they should, just look how long it took for moneyball/analytics to get adopted in MLB. It's on it's way in the NFL but significantly behind. Also, I think the evidence disagrees that most best pass rushers are on the LT side, it's split pretty even right now. They also vary where the pressure is coming from now too, obviously. If you have a serious liability at RT the other team isn't just going to keep smashing their best pass rusher into the LT every play.

Here is the famous PFF article from almost a decade ago now, and it's even more true now than then. https://www.pff.com/news/examining-press...overvalued
