Detroit Lions draft: Offensive line options beyond the first round

Detroit Lions fans, the draft is almost upon us. Last week, I urged readers to consider the benefits of drafting a tackle-guard in round one. This week, I wanted to do a follow-up. If the Lions draft a defensive lineman in round one, say Harold Landry(or any non-lineman), what options would Detroit have after? What players, after round one, can change a perennial problem into a strength? We’ll discuss this critical area of the roster.

Historical perspective

Almost as long as I can remember, the Detroit Lions offensive line has been no better than mediocre.
