Earlier, we previewed the offensive tackles in the 2022 NFL Draft class. The Detroit Lions don’t really need an offensive tackle for now or the next couple years. Detroit is similarly set on the interior offensive line for 2022, but the situation looks much different when you get a couple years down the line.
The guard position isn’t valued nearly as much as tackle in the NFL, so if Detroit wants to start looking at both depth and potential starting options in this year’s draft, it shouldn’t come at the expense of a high draft pick.
