The Lions have to replace two starters on the o-line. They moved on from long time Dom Raiola and OG Rob Sims. In addition, Garrett Reynolds signed with the Rams. YOuth will take over inside.
Larry Warford 3rd year 3rd round pick 2013.
Contract: 2 years $849,250
Kentucky
29 starts
Analysis:
Which Warford are we going to see? The dominant rookie or the injury 2nd year player?
Travis Swanson 2nd year 3rd rond pick 2014
Contract: 3 years remain $699,868
Arkansas
16 games 5 starts
Analysis:
A poor guard but could be a pretty good center. He played well in the Green Bay game but that is a small sample.
Laken Tomlinson Rookie 1st round pick
Contract: 4 years $1.55 million cap hit
Analysis:
Big physical player who was the ACC athlete of the year. Rookies are hard to judge but he can better than Sims.
Manuel Ramirez 9th year in the NFL 5th in Detroit 4th round pick in 2007
Contract: Last year $ 3 million hit
67 NFL games 58 starts 18 games in Detroit 15 starts
