FOXBORO -- The New England Patriots offensive line is a wild card at best. However, in a recent ranking of the offensive lines in the NFL, ESPN actually had the Patriots coming in at No. 10.
ESPN's surprisingly high ranking:
"The Patriots lost two fairly strong guards this offseason in Shaq Mason and Ted Karras -- they were ninth and 11th in PBWR last season, respectively, with Karras also finishing 14th in RBWR. But the versatile Onwenu is a solid replacement, even though the model will assume Strange is below average -- as it does for all rookies.
