Ricky Wagner is considered an upgrade on the right side earning an overall grade of 84.5 versus Reiff’s 67.5 according to Pro-Football Focus.
Wagner’s specialty is pass blocking, ranking in the top ten in that category in 2016. Clearly the Lions are going all in on protecting franchise quarterback Matthew Stafford.

It?s the kind of move that would make sense for a team like the Seahawks or Patriots if they can catch a bargain hoping to get a short burst of production. The Lions aren?t in that position, making their apparent involvement curious.
