Well, the question you asked can be a very opinionated in many peoples eyes. Also, it could vary by position. In my opinion, here it is;
Joe Thomas - Cleveland Browns - Left Tackle
There is so much to say about this young lineman its hard to pick out his flaws. Long arms, big hands, quick feet, and a bulldozer mentality. Best of all, he is one of the most proficient pass-blockers in the league if not the most proficient. His Rookie season, playing against great pass rushing teams multiple times such as the Ravens and Jets, allowed only 1 sack.
Ryan Clady - Denver Broncos - Left Tackle
Very similar to Joe Thomas, but more of a bruiser. Ryan Clady can bring the hammer when he run blocks, and has no problem rolling over 'Backers and smaller lineman.
Steve Hutchinson - Minnesota Vikings - Left Guard
Not a whole lot to say about this guy, other than that he is a monster in the trenches. Knows what to do, can actually pull (very uncommon thing in the NFL) and hit people, rarely does anything wrong.
Chris Snee - New York Giants - Right Guard
Very comparable to Hutchinson, overall a very fundamentally solid lineman. Can do it all and makes few mistakes.
Jeff Saturday / Sean O'Hara - Indianapolis Colts / New York Giants
These guys are practically the same person. They are great movers as well as protectors, but most importantly they own the line they work with by calling out blitzes, noticing defensive packages, etc. etc. Great leaders for the team.
Again; This list could definitley vary from person to person. There are lineman not on this list that are excellent, I just thought of the few that came to mind.

How heavy are the football players on the offensive line?
Depending on the level you're asking about, the weight of offensive linemen can vary quite a bit. At highschool, a team with an average offensive line weight of 260 or 270 is considered enormous. That being said, highschool linemen can compete at weight as low as 180 and 200 to as high as 380. In D-1 college football, offensive linemen frequently weigh 300 pounds. 270 and 280 pounds are also somewhat common, but are generally considered a bit undersized whereas linemen weighing over 350 are pretty rare. In the NFL, an undersized lineman can be 6-3, 280 pounds. At the highest level of competition, nearly all offensive linemen weigh over 300 and stand near or above 6-5, Offensive linemen weighing over 350 pounds are becoming a common sight in the NFL.
