2018 Detroit Lions roster review: Is this the year Joe Dahl breaks out?

The Detroit Lions offensive line has been under construction for several years now. Though general manager Bob Quinn has made the front five a priority in nearly every offseason, it just hasn’t come together as it should yet.

This offseason was different, however. The Lions didn’t go out and get a top-tier free agent. They didn’t draft a single offensive lineman. Could this mean that 2016 fifth-round pick Joe Dahl may finally get a crack at the starting lineup?

Expectations before 2018
