Having an upper echelon LT is still one of the most important positions in football and anyone suggesting differently is wrong. LT is definitely more important than CB in today's NFL.
The article even contradicts itself by saying pass rusher is important, but The LT's importance is diminished. Who do they think has the job of blocking these important pass rushers?

It also says you need to be good across your whole front 5.
Spread concepts mean a spread out field, more receivers, faster throws, more space. That's why elite o-line isn't as important as elite pass rush, and coverage guys that neutralize the quick passing game.
The league is always changing, many people still see the NFL teams built in the 80's and 90's as how one builds a team today.
