Offensive Line Rankings
32-21 | 20-11 | 10-1
20. Tennessee Titans
| Pos. | Starter |
|---|---|
| LT | Taylor Lewan |
| LG | Jeremiah Poutasi |
| C | Ben Jones |
| RG | Chance Warmack |
| RT | Jack Conklin |
Depth: Brian Schwenke, Sebastian Tretola, Quinton Spain, Josue Matias, William Poehls
The Titans have wisely invested high picks in their offensive line, with Lewan, Warmack, and Conklin all selected in the top 11 of their respective drafts. It may take time for them to reach their ceilings, but the success of this group hinges on whether that trio can deliver on their potential.
19. San Diego Chargers
| Pos. | Starter |
|---|---|
| LT | King Dunlap |
| LG | Orlando Franklin |
| C | Matt Slauson |
| RG | D.J. Fluker |
| RT | Joe Barksdale |
Depth: Chris Hairston, Max Tuerk, Kenny Wiggins, Donavon Clark, Chris Watt
San Diego's offensive front was once again ravaged by injuries in 2015. Seeing Philip Rivers constantly deal with pressure will stick in the memories of many, but this unit still has plenty of potential if healthy. Adding Slauson in free agency shored up the only real weak spot among the five starters.
18. Detroit Lions
| Pos. | Starter |
|---|---|
| LT | Taylor Decker |
| LG | Laken Tomlinson |
| C | Travis Swanson |
| RG | Larry Warford |
| RT | Riley Reiff |
Depth: Geoff Schwartz, Graham Glasgow, Joe Dahl, Michael Ola, Corey Robinson
The Lions have quietly put together what should be a solid unit in 2016. Drafting Decker in the first round allows Reiff to move to the right side, where he might be better suited. Tomlinson and Warford should continue their development on the inside, while Geoff Schwartz gives the squad some veteran depth. With all the moving pieces, building chemistry will be imperative.
17. New England Patriots
| Pos. | Starter |
|---|---|
| LT | Nate Solder |
| LG | Shaq Mason |
| C | Bryan Stork |
| RG | Jonathan Cooper |
| RT | Sebastian Vollmer |
Depth: Marcus Cannon, Tre' Jackson, Joe Thuney, David Andrews, LaAdrian Waddle
This is another line that's been unable to live up to its potential due largely to injury issues. There's plenty of talent to work with, though, including the particularly intriguing addition of Cooper. Would anyone be surprised to see the former first-rounder break out after being shipped to New England?
16. Miami Dolphins
| Pos. | Starter |
|---|---|
| LT | Branden Albert |
| LG | Laremy Tunsil |
| C | Mike Pouncey |
| RG | Billy Turner |
| RT | Ja'Wuan James |
Depth: Jermon Bushrod, Kraig Urbik, Dallas Thomas, Jamil Douglas, Ulrick John
Tunsil's gas mask bong hit video allowed the Dolphins to land arguably the best offensive lineman in this year's draft with the 13th overall pick. A move to guard could make things difficult on him in the early going, but playing between Albert and Pouncey, Tunsil should help shore up the left side of the Dolphins' line.
15. Houston Texans
| Pos. | Starter |
|---|---|
| LT | Duane Brown |
| LG | Xavier Su'a-Filo |
| C | Nick Martin |
| RG | Jeff Allen |
| RT | Derek Newton |
Depth: Chris Clark, Tony Bergstrom, Jeff Adams, Kendall Lamm, Oday Aboushi
Houston's offensive line is no longer at the level we grew accustomed to throughout Arian Foster's prime, but this should still be a fairly reliable bunch. Brown is a high-level starter when healthy, and the addition of Allen will help the interior overcome Brandon Brooks' free-agency departure.
14. Minnesota Vikings
| Pos. | Starter |
|---|---|
| LT | Matt Kalil |
| LG | Brandon Fusco |
| C | John Sullivan |
| RG | Alex Boone |
| RT | Andre Smith |
Depth: T.J. Clemmings, Joe Berger, Willie Beavers, Michael Harris
The arrival of veterans Boone and Smith gives Minnesota one of the deepest blocking units in the league. Head coach Mike Zimmer is also hoping Boone's tough-minded approach spreads to the rest of the line. An improved season from Kalil, who's in a contract year, could push this group into the top 10.
13. Buffalo Bills
| Pos. | Starter |
|---|---|
| LT | Cordy Glenn |
| LG | Richie Incognito |
| C | Eric Wood |
| RG | John Miller |
| RT | Jordan Mills |
Depth: Seantrel Henderson, Cyrus Kouandjio, Cyril Richardson, Fernando Velasco, Ryan Groy
Some surprise dominance from Incognito helped this group take a much-needed step in the right direction last season. The veteran returns between Glenn and Wood to give Buffalo a strong returning group on the left side, allowing all help to be schemed toward the still-unsettled situation on the right.
12. Pittsburgh Steelers
| Pos. | Starter |
|---|---|
| LT | Alejandro Villanueva |
| LG | Ramon Foster |
| C | Maurkice Pouncey |
| RG | David DeCastro |
| RT | Marcus Gilbert |
Depth: Ryan Harris, Cody Wallace, Jerald Hawkins, Chris Hubbard, Matt Feiler
The interior of the Steelers' line will be among the best in the NFL if Pouncey is able to return to form after missing last season with a broken leg. Unfortunately, the departure of Kelvin Beachum in free agency creates a potential problem spot at left tackle, which will likely come down to a training camp battle between Villanueva and Harris.
11. Baltimore Ravens
| Pos. | Starter |
|---|---|
| LT | Ronnie Stanley |
| LG | John Urschel |
| C | Jeremy Zuttah |
| RG | Marshal Yanda |
| RT | Ricky Wagner |
Depth: James Hurst, Vladimir Ducasse, Alex Lewis, Ryan Jensen, De'Ondre Wesley
Kelechi Osemele and Eugene Monroe moving on this offseason left the Ravens without two of their top linemen. Stanley has always been considered a day-one starter, though, and he should combine with Wagner to give Baltimore a strong tandem of tackles. The situation at right guard couldn't possibly get much better, as Yanda remains arguably the NFL's top overall lineman.
