at either G or C.  The only guys still left on the board that fit that billing are James Daniels, Will Hernandez and Connor Williams if you consider him a G.  Those three aren't lasting through 18 picks tonight.  Who did you want instead?  Taven Bryan?  If you say RB, then you're really defeating your value argument.  Ragnow was a great pick.

Ummm...

 

"Ragnow participated in nine of Arkansas' twelve games as a freshman, playing as a center."

"As a junior, Ragnow started 12 games as the Hogs' center"

"He played as the starting center as a senior in 2017"

 

He was a 3 year starter, with two years at center... played 33 games at center. Started 24 games at center.

 

...and:

 

"Ragnow may not be able to match Nelson’s 2017 grade, but he has back-to-back seasons with a mark of 93.7 or better. In fact, those back-to-back seasons represent the two highest graded seasons for a center in the four years PFF has graded every game of college at the FBS level."

"Played all of 6 games there at Arkansas?" 

He played in nine games as a true frosh, started all 13 as a sophomore, and started all 13 as a junior.  The fact that he sprained his ankle in the middle of his senior year after THAT kind of a start is hardly a knock.

Mayfield was a huge gamble in a year when you absolutely have to get it right. Browns front office actually makes the Lions look good. And then the OSU corner at #4? Don't know much about him but look at some of the talent they passed on to take a corner. Cornerbacks are vital of course but they are also hurt easily--it's a miracle if a starter makes it through an entire season. You don't take a corner that high unless you're certain he's a multiple Pro Bowler.
