The Detroit Lions offensive line is arguably the team’s biggest strength. The team currently features three first-round picks, three Pro Bowl talents, and to make things even better, three of their starters are 26 years old or younger. They are built both for the here and now and the future.
But keeping a strength a strength requires a lot of plate spinning. As soon as one contract is coming to a close, it’s the general manager’s job to make sure another is in its place, whether it’s an extension or a new player. Plus, Brad Holmes has specifically said he does not pay too much attention to the depth chart during draft week, and said he doesn’t mind continuing to add to a strong position if the right player is there.
