FU ESPN thinks Lions don?t have a top 10 offensive line.
FU ESPN isn?t impressed with the Lions? retooled offensive line... yet.

ESPN put together team rankings for every positional group (Insider required), based on Football Outsiders? metrics and scouting profiles.
While the Detroit Lions did crack the top 10 at quarterback (No. 8) and special teams (No. 7), their new-and-improved offensive line did not make the top 10 list.

I asked the author, Aaron Schatz, for a bit of an explanation. Here was his rationale:
Jeremy Reisman @DetroitOnLion
to @FO_ASchatz Mildly surprised #Lions OL didn't make the top 10. Were they close or is it all just too much "on paper" at this point?

Aaron Schatz @FO_ASchatz
to @DetroitOnLion Right now it's "on paper." Run blocking horrendous last year.
