# Mike Renner: Renner presents his offseason tier ranking of all 32 NFL offensive lines, from the elite "bring your lunch pail" trio (Eagles, Broncos, Bills) down to the "could get ugly" tier of the Cardinals and Titans. He expects the Chiefs to be the unit most likely to join the top tier, thinks the Giants' line will finally be a strength, and cannot see the Titans' or Cardinals' lines reaching average.
