The NFL's top-10 run-blocking offensive lines for 2018 (8. DETROIT LIONS: The Lions have quietly assembled their best run-blocking unit since Matt Stafford took over as the starter in Detroit. The key will be how quickly first-round pick Frank Ragnow can get up to speed. He was the second-highest graded run-blocking center in the country a season ago and more than held his own in the lone game he played guard against Alabama (82.1 run-blocking grade in that game). He earned a solid 73.5 run-blocking grade in 96 snaps this preseason.): https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-the-nfls-top-10-run-blocking-offensive-lines-for-2018
All 32 NFL teams' 2018 defenses, ranked (26. Detroit Lions: We’re high on Matt Patricia but it’s going to take time for him to mold this defense to his liking. There isn’t much of a pass rush outside of DE Ziggy Ansah, who will be playing for a fat contract next offseason. Patricia never had great individual pass rushers in New England and still managed to consistently find ways to pressure the quarterback, so that might not be a major issue. CB Darius Slay is a top-10 player at his position. As is FS Glover Quin. His safety partner, Quandre Diggs, is a converted slot corner who is still learning the position but looks promising. The second-level of the defense is a clear weakness, where 2017 first-round LB Jarrad Davis has disappointed. He hasn’t looked much better in preseason. There are far too many holes on the depth chart to expect Patricia to turn things around in his first season.): https://ftw.usatoday.com/2018/09/nfl-defense-rankings-2018-season-jaguars-vikings-ravens
