After assessing the roster, new Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn noted how he believed the roster on the offensive line is in a decent place. “Right now I think that’s our deepest unit,” Lynn told the media earlier this month. “We can use a little more depth at tackle, but I like the guys
