A line of Trent Williams, Kory Lichtensteiger, Will Montgomery, Davin Joseph, and Jammal Brown would be more than adequate as a starting five. But we would have almost no depth behind that, even if we were able to re-sign Stephon Heyer.

I would not spend one of our first two picks on an offensive linemen, unless there is a real good value on a tackle when we pick in the first round. Like a top five type talent. Otherwise, I would use picks on the third day to supplement the depth on the offensive line. Re-signing Heyer is a major priority this offseason. Brown, I think, is less of a priority, because I think the franchise tag makes some sense for him.

I would also be alert in free agency for a center who might be an improvement on Montgomery. Maybe the Lions could be willing to part with Dominic Raiola in an Albert Haynesworth deal?
