PFF had Ragnow as the 14th-best player in the entire draft. People acting like they’ve never heard of him.

Arkansas coach Brett Beilema about Ragnow, and Beilema said Ragnow was the best offensive lineman he's coached since Joe Thomas.

Ragnow gets labeled a Center but he only started 18 games there and he also started 15 games at Guard.

Frank Ragnow played 2,246 snaps the last three years at Arkansas. He didn't allow a single sack.

In three years, Bob Quinn has completely overhauled Detroit's offensive line, drafting Decker, Glasgow and Ragnow and signing Wagner and Lang.
With a new position coach this year, expectations will be sky high for the unit.

Many Lions fans are skeptical about taking Ragnow at 20. But with rumors that the Bengals were taking him at 21 and the Pats very interested at 23 trust Quinn on this one. He?s an immediate upgrade on the O-line which was a clear need in this draft.

Decker-Lang-Glasgow-Ragnow-Wagner.
Most of Ragnow guard starts were at RG and Lang played LG at a high level in GB.

Ragnow, a center from Arkansas, replaces Travis Swanson, a center from Arkansas. At the combine, Ragnow talked about how Swanson has been a mentor.
