only the Lions would pick a 3rd rounder in the 1st. I'm sure this will cause many to grade the Lions' draft as a big fat F!

Fluff is abundant, but the pre-draft articles had the Pats "all over" him, since they hired Bielema, and Fat B has been on record multiple times calling him the best lineman he's coached. Still, fluff. Time will tell.

his measurables look pretty good - 6'5", 300+ lbs, and allegedly no sacks given up in the SEC. as a former OL guy myself, i am biased but i think with a good OL you can make so many other mistakes/chances/fill-ins and be fine. i also am of a mind that i think centers usually are the smartest guys on any football field. so add a brain to the brawn and you might have a pretty good pick.

As a late 2nd or 3rd round pick. There were some good DE and DT on the board and that seems to be the Lion's weakest link along with RB.

he wouldn't have been there at 52. I would've preferred Landry, but Ragnow will be a competent long-term starter

Mayock, Casserly, Chad Reuter and Daniel Jeremiah had Ragnow going 21st, Schrager had Ragnow going 31st. So five of the six nfl.com draft analysts had Ragnow projected in the first round.

PFF loved him.

Scored him as best center in the country the last two years, and ranked him the second best OL in the draft after Nelson.

Ill admit it isnt the most glamorous pick, but I am happy with it. I am all for protecting Stafford and maybe this will help our run game down the road. To anyone that is complaining about this pick... I think this is an improvement over the years and years of first round busts we are used to in Detroit.

I was worried for Mo, that the Lions would take him. I hate seeing him slide, but that was a bullet dodged .

Yep. Never gave up a sack in his 4 year career against some pretty nasty SEC defenses.

Like you said, not exciting, but considering Stafford was sacked 47 times last year and we had no run game I don't mind it.

Agreed, I like this pick, Solid,smart center to shore up the interior of the O-Line and take advantage.stage of D-Line depth, while looking for an RB in later rounds, I can dig it.

Meanwhile the horrendous defense is again ignored. In a division with Aaron Rodgers and Kurt Cousins this does nothing to defeat them. Bob Quinn is a buffoon. Hires his chum as HC, signs no one of note in FA, and wastes a first on a center. Millen-level incompetence.

Every position can be found in later rounds. I’d bet a lemon that first round centers tend to be better than most first round position groups, on average. Partly because of your bias — if a team drafts a center that high, they’re pretty sure he’s going to be good. I get the market value arguments about the draft, but this wholesale disregard of certain positions in certain rounds is crazy. Maybe you don’t take a center in the top 10, because you can trade down in the 20s and get the center you want. But taking the arbitrary destination between 32-33 as some important marker is illogical. Plus, if the kid is the next Mawae or Mangold, anyone who complains about his draft spot is wrong. What matters is if he’s good.
