It seems guys like Ramirez and Gandy would have been forced to play a larger role in years past (Ramirez started 12 games last year), and there's no way a guy like Jansen would have had to battle for a starting spot. This looks to be the case across the offense as well. Previously "role players" were forced into starting roles, and borderline NFL players played key backup roles. Now, the roster seems to be at least filling up with NFL caliber talent. Looking at the depth chart it becomes clear that the Lions are improving at several areas, O-line included.
