The official 2018 nfl draft thread

They spent the whole time slobbing the Cowboys knob then went to the Lions pick and then to commercial. Didn't even talked about the Lions. Bullshit.

In retrospect, I'm not all that upset by the pick.

It?s not sexy on draft day.....but it?s sexy as shit if we can run the fuckin ball this year.

Yup....we also have 2 oline starters on the bench as depth now which is good.

Center was a need....there were better players on the board. Defense is going to blow.

Per Patricia?s MO....I bet it will for 4 weeks.....but I don?t see us having a bad year defensively. We won?t be great.....but I bet we?ll be better than last year.

Sort of became a hot name the last week. PFF claims he gave up 0 sacks in his career.

Bengals and Patriots were supposedly very interested.

Any word on Hyders rehab?

Wtf why the bitching? We have to build the offensive line. Pick is fine by me. He wasn't falling to the second round imo.

Agree, it’s a solid pick we don’t need sexy and exciting we need a solid trench the rest takes care of itself, i bitched for years about the lack of attention to the oline Quinn is building this properly. And how can ya not love the name ragnow!

Detroit Lions select Frank Ragnow 20th overall in the 2018 NFL Draft.

Ragnow?s 2017 and 2016 season grades were the two highest single-season grades for a center in the PFF College era.
He ranked second among draft-eligible centers in pass-blocking efficiency in 2017 (99.6).
Ragnow ranked first among draft-eligible centers in run-blocking success percentage in 2017 (94.6).

Do we have any assets to move back up ?

Scout Inc pre draft analysis:

Ragnow is an alpha leader and captain with the work ethic and football IQ to quickly take control of an NFL huddle. He is an effective positional blocker who plays with an edge and grades out as a starter early in his career.

No pass rush will crush any d. Can?t help but wonder if gb doesn?t trade up if we take jaire Alexander....woulda been sweet.

Me too so I can't bitch about them taking o-line!!!

Not really. Rudock + 2, 3, 4, 5 ,7 round picks this year. Nothing extra.

 

[mhughes0021]

We had the least amount of picks of any team in the nfl. Good job lions!

Ragnow better be Travis fucking Frederick. Terrible pick

 

[biggunsbob]

Same thing with the Bengals pick too. They have to talk for 15 minutes about the Cowboys. Had to get the ads in between the Cowboys and the Pats.
