Lions GM Brad Holmes views defensive line as one of Detroit's areas of depth

Allen Park — It's easy to point to the Detroit Lions offensive line as the roster's strength, but when asked about his team's positions of need for the upcoming offseason, general manager Brad Holmes casually slipped in he carries a similar view about the defensive trench.

"I would agree, yes, offensive line," Holmes said. "You could say defensive line, you could argue that those are strengths of our team, but we do want to improve in all the other areas.

A former collegiate defensive tackle, Holmes has an intimate understanding about the position, but the evaluation doesn't seem congruent with the results.
