1. Detroit Lions
When healthy, the Lions' offensive line was arguably the best unit in the NFL last season. Right tackle Penei Sewell was the league's highest-graded offensive lineman, and Frank Ragnow earned the top spot among centers.

Although the unit lost right guard Jonah Jackson in free agency, the Lions signed veteran guard Kevin Zeitler, who ranked 15th in PFF grade among guards in 2023.


2. Philadelphia Eagles
While the Eagles fielded the NFL's best offensive line over the past couple of years, there are questions about the unit's cohesiveness following center Jason Kelce‘s retirement.

Cam Jurgens, Kelce's replacement, has played only 45 NFL snaps at center so far. Jurgens is being replaced at right guard by Tyler Steen, who played just 71 snaps on offense as a rookie and was not overly impressive.

5. New York Jets
After performing as one of the worst units of the 2023 season, the Jets' offensive line mightily improved this offseason. Veteran tackles Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses both finished among the 10 highest-graded offensive tackles in 2023 and could form one of the best duos in the league in 2024.

The Jets also get back one of the best young guards in the league, Alijah Vera-Tucker, who missed most of the 2023 season due to an injury.

7. Kansas City Chiefs
Joe Thuney might be the best pass-blocking guard in the league, while Creed Humphrey is now often considered the best center in the NFL. Right guard Trey Smith could also be the league’s most underrated offensive lineman despite being the 10th-highest-graded guard in 2023. Those three form arguably the NFL's top interior trio.

Whereas the interior is stout, there are many questions surrounding the Chiefs' offensive tackles, including whether Jawaan Taylor can bounce back after a disappointing 2023 season.

11. Chicago Bears
The Bears' offensive line, as it got healthy, was one of the top units in the NFL toward the second half of the 2023 season. Center Ryan Bates is expected to complete the unit and bring it to the next level.

In Braxton Jones and Darnell Wright, Chicago has a promising young offensive tackle duo. And Teven Jenkins has performed extremely well since moving to guard, earning 70.0-plus PFF overall grades in 2022 and 2023.

13. Minnesota Vikings
Although left tackle Christian Darrisaw was not able to replicate his breakout 2022 campaign, he still finished 2023 as the third-highest-graded offensive tackle in pass protection despite battling injuries.

While the interior trio of Dalton Risner, Garrett Bradbury and Ed Ingram is average at best, the offensive tackle duo of Darrisaw and Brian O’Neill makes the Vikings' line an above-average unit.

14. Green Bay Packers
Rasheed Walker, a 2022 seventh-rounder, appears to be David Bakhtiari‘s successor at left tackle. And while he went through some growing pains in 2023, his 66.3 PFF overall grade ranked 44th among offensive tackles.

On the other side of the line, Zach Tom built on a strong rookie campaign and was even better in 2023. The Packers lost Jon Runyan in free agency, but Sean Rhyan was rotating with Runyan at right guard toward the end of last season, bringing some experience to the position.

So they have the Packers OL as the worst in the NFC North? I mean the lack of depth scares me, but starters seem more than solid.

Beast mentioned Objectively, it is the worst.

We have a left tackle who ranked 44th amongst tackles, and someone who is very unproven at right guard as starters... to me, that's not solid.

we have yet to prove we can run for a yard and a half to 2 yards when we need to.

I hope I'm wrong, but I think OL is our weak link. I think ranking number 14 out of 32 teams is rather generous grade.

Those that do typically take a while to get up to speed in the NFL. Once Morgan gets going he will be an upgrade at RG. Walker may be 44th OVERALL but he was a solid pass blocker. I don't have access to the pass vs run blocking PFF numbers but he was a good pass blocker. Better than 44th. Jenkins was decent in a down year for him. Having more time to recover from his injury he is going to be one of the better LG in the league. That leaves Myers, the center people love to hate. He again was better at pass blocking than run blocking. Last year was pretty bad. This year should be a return to his norm. If he struggles look for Monk to come in a have a crack at it. If this position is the only weak link, the Packers can supplement the protection for him.
