Way back during his end-of-season press conference in January, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes said he would not ignore the team’s offensive line this offseason.
“That’s the engine for us,” Holmes said. “And so, I don’t care how good we ever get on the offensive line, that one right there is too important for not only our team, our quarterback, everything, it’s our identity, man. So, I think just that alone is just – it’s always going to be at the forefront.”
Yet here we are, three months later, and the Lions have lost one of their starters from last year (Kevin Zeitler) and have added exactly zero external players.
