FWIW, the Pac-12 Networks' Yogi Roth thinks the '16 OL class is better than the '12: https://twitter.com/YogiRoth/status/824035234765225984

Hard to make an apples-to-apples comparison. Presumably you can fruitfully compare Little + Sarell to Peat + Murphy. But the '12 class had more numbers. Even if you (hypothetically) think Dalman equals or betters Shuler, '12 still had highly-rated guys like Davidson and Fanaika. And Caspers turned out well.

You mean 17 OL class right? Although the 16 OL is damn good in its own right and has quantity

Perhaps relevant is that the 2016-17 two year cycle may has as much depth as the 2011-12 cycle.
[I suppose one might look at the following years as well, but we can't really examine the 2018 class yet.]
