In case you haven't seen the first twelve picks, let me explain what is going on. I'm ranking each team's first pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. The rankings are first (which was Josh Allen to the Bills) to the worst. Yesterday's pick was Quenton Nelson. Nelson is an offensive lineman who was picked by the Indianapolis Colts. Nelson wasn't the first offensive lineman be picked in the top fifteen. And he isn't going to be the last as center Frank Ragnow is ranked as the 13th best "first" pick in the NFL Draft.
A good chuck of teams have committed to protecting their quarterbacks with their first pick in this year's draft. Ragnow is just another example as the Lions needed a center who can work with Matthew Stafford. Last year's starting center in Detroit was Travis Swanson. But Swanson signed with the New York Jets this off-season. It isn't such a loss for Detroit though as Swanson had an injury history. Ragnow is expected to start at center this year, but The Detroit News says he may be a guard initially. Ragnow did not allow a sack last year. This is a great pick up for the Lions.
