Zeitler addition gives Lions chain of three Pro Bowlers on right side of o-line
Offensive lineman Kevin Zeitler has been a good player for a long time, even if that hasn't always come with the postseason honors he might have deserved.
I’m not familiar enough with the all the other OL in the league, I know Philly was consider one of if not the best but losing a starter or two hurts them. Definitely in the mix for the best.
Getting Skipper back obviously put them over the top.
Top 5 for sure… Definitely not young though other than Sewell. I could see 1…maybe 2 added in the draft.
They stir the drink for this offense. Gotta keep stocking the cupboard
I hope so.
He is 34 so we have 4 + years with rags an decker an even Glass . Check the rest of OL ages we have years to develop replacements. I would like add one in draft keep feeding system
All top15 rank players,
All 5 could be prowbowlers and 2 all pros this year.
Ragnow isn’t playing 4 more years, book it… He may not play more than 2. I hope they bring back Decker, he’s the leader of that group, a great player and loves this team. They need to replenish the IOL, Holmes will heavily invest there in the draft I believe.
Draft JPJ and I’d say we are.
Age is a bit overrated when it comes to the OL. Ragnow is only 27, Sewell is young. We’ve seen OTs and other OL play at elite levels into their mid 30s, it’s not a position like corner or WR where there’s a sudden drop off. Basically - I don’t really worry about age one bit with this team, only the health of Ragnow moving forward.
He’d be my pick if he’s there
I think the Zeitler signing did no such thing. Last year, we were the best OL in the NFL.
You’re right. Olinemen do often age well.
In other news… I haven’t played guard since age 10 but I’m willing to gain 100 pounds and run this shit back. I am 41…
All this success we have had. Starts in the trenches. Remember that folks.
So you just throw out awards an other rankings an say its not? He had better rankings that Jackson an he was voted Pro Bowl but thats you opinion.
Try looking up some real stats before you accuse someone of throwing out awards. In 2023, the Lions were ranked first in DVOA metrics for Adjusted line yards at 4.77 a game.
We’re getting a 34 year old to replace someone who could be entering his prime, just like when we replaced Larry Warford with TJ Lang. How did that work out?
I’m glad Brad is trying to keep a strength a strength, but we were good to start with. Its a good back-up plan, in fact I mentioned it last month. I’m glad we didn’t pay Jonah, but we need OL early in the draft.
The OL may be the best in the league, but it’s not as young as it was back when they signed Zeitler.

I think they already did last year. If Philly was the competition, we were first by a mile.
