Analysis:
Bob Quinn continues to overhaul the Offensive Line. Ragnow is is big and a good athlete. Will be in the mix at Center or Left Guard. I had a second round grade on him. I dinged him for the ankle injury. PFF ranked the # 1 center in College in both 2016 and 2017. Never allowed a sack in his career.

2018 Detroit Lions draft preview

Goals for the draft:

Trade back for additional in the mid rounds.

1. Pass rusher
2. Run stopper at tackle
3. Starting left guard
4. Big running back
5. Tight End
6. WR late
7. Developmental QB

Draft Strengths

1. DT
2. Off the line LB
3. Interior Line
4. S
5. RB
6. TE

Draft Weaknesses:
1. Pass rusher
2. Offensive Tackle
3. Blue chip WR
4. Blue chip CB

Draft Chart (Note this is NOT a prediction. This is where I would draft these players. What others teams do is out of my control)

1st Round:

1. DE Harold Landry Boston College 7
2. DE Marcus Davenport UTSA 6.8
3. DT Taven Bryan Florida 6.9
4. Will Hernandez UTEP 7

Torn here between Landry and Davenport. Landry has an injury concern, Davenport is raw. Lions have inside information on both. Possibility trade back for Lorenzo Carter. Da'Ron Payne I think will be gone.

2nd Round:
1. DE Lorenzo Carter Georgia 6.8
2. DE Rasheem Greene USC 6.5
3. DT Nathan Shepard  Fort Hays State 6.5

Love Carter if the medical is okay. Can rush and drop. Greene can play 3, 5 and DE.

3rd Round:

Guys I like:

DT Bilal Nichols Delware 6.4
DT PJ Hall Sam Houston 6.4
DE Chad Thomas Miami 6.3
RB Nick Chubb Georgia 6.8
RB Rashaad Penny SDSU 6.5
TE Ian Thomas Indiana 6.3

Doubt the running backs will be there. Other possibilities is if any of the top interior OL fall.

4th Round

Guys I Like:

RB Royce Freeman Oregon 6.2
OL Tyrell Crosby Oregon 6.4
OL Geron Christian Louisville 6.2
DE Dorance Armstrong Kansas 6.3
CB Darius Phillips WMU 6.2

RB or Developmental versatile OL .

5th Round:

RB Ryan Nall Oregon State 6.2
DE Breeland Speaks 6.2
WR Cedric Wilson Boise State 6.1
TE Chris Herdon Miami 6.2
OL Brandon Parker NC A&T 6
DE Zach Sieler Ferris State 6
WR Daurice Fountain Northern Iowa 5.9
RB Bo Scarbrough Alabama 6.4

WR or TE opens up. A couple RB options.


6th Round
RB Kalen Ballage ASU 6.1
De Joel Ostman CMU 6
WR Jimmy Williams ECU 5.8
LB Leon Jacobs Wisconsin 6.1
LB Orion Burks Vanderbilt 6.1
QB Nic Shimonek Texas Tech 5.8

Best athlete available here.

7th Round
RB Javrion Franklin WMU 5.6
QB Ryan Ferguson Memphis 5.6
WR Vyncint Smith Limestone 5.8
LB Frankie Luvu WSU 5.8
TE Jordan Akins CFU 5.8
Te Donnie Ernsberger WMU 5.6
QB Brandon Roback EMU 5.7
DT John Atkins Georgia 5.9

TE, RB or Interior DL can make the squad.
