2018 NFL Draft results: Lions select Frank Ragnow 20th overall

The Detroit Lions have selected Frank Ragnow with their first-round pick, 20th overall, in the 2018 NFL Draft.

The Lions continue to make serious improvements on the offensive line. Two years ago, general manager took his left tackle in Taylor Decker. Last offseason, Detroit added Rick Wagner and T.J. Lang in free agency. Now the Lions have added their final piece to the offensive line: Frank Ragnow.

The big story here may not be who the Lions picked, but who they passed over. Edge defender Harold Landry was still surprisingly on the board when the Lions were on the clock, yet despite have a defensive coordinator who coached Landry in college, they decided to pass on him.
