Detroit Lions first-round selection, offensive lineman Frank Ragnow, was a complete surprise target for many fans, but someone they had their sites set on all along. They kept their interest in the mauling lineman very quiet.
No big visits or interviews were reported. The team’s interest went under the radar so no other teams had a hunch and tried to trade in front of them. The Cincinnati Bengals even received some negative attention for not trading up to select Ragnow. And Ragnow himself was surprised to be drafted by Detroit.
