Investing in the offensive line has been a cornerstone of the front office philosophy for the Detroit Lions ever since Bob Quinn became the team’s general manager back in 2016. In his first three seasons in Motown, Quinn has used two first round picks on offensive lineman and signed pricey free agents like guard T.J. Lang and tackle Rick Wagner in between.
But that hasn’t been the case in 2019. The Lions didn’t spend one single draft pick on an offensive lineman last month, despite the recent release and retirement of Lang at right guard.
