Ragnow unlikely for 2026, per Campbell (Official: Ragnow placed on retired list)

I love you godfather but I hope you are 100% wrong.

He may be done but it would be a huge lift to have him for another year and allow us to develop someone.

Brad needs to cook this offseason

You have absolutely no way of knowing that right now.

Also, I think this year alone shows how important the position is. I’d say it’s definitely one that deserves a high pick.

Lions will be picking top 20 and picking any center top 20 is awful value period.

I have no indication doesn’t automatically mean unlikely, it reads to me as Dan saying he doesn’t know his intentions.

The Lions picked Ragnow at #20 :joy:

Yeah and that’s not great value for pick 20. There’s a reason why centers very rarely go top 20… it’s because it’s not a premium position. Brad never tries to find value so the Lions probably will reach for a center

Wat

The guy is a Hall of Fame center.

You would have to pay about $8 million more a year for a top center in FA than you would pay the 20th OA pick. The value just isn’t there. Better off to pony up the extra $$ and get a proven player in free agency. With first round picks you should always try drafting premium positions because they cost so much more in free agency.

Drafting a Center top 20 would be SOL

I said he may or may not play next year. That’s been the response I’ve seen from the people here. From that you interpret fans are saying he’s definitely playing next year?

Ragnow missed the game and wanted to return, but his injury is preventing him. I don’t think what made him want to come back just vanished, but he’s also rehabbing an injury. We’ll see. Either way the Lions will have to plan as if he’s not.

You say it’s about the trade and not that he’s a failure, then you go right back to the player lol Is it the player or the trade Nate?

I don’t have an opinion on the trade until I see what becomes of the player. I may very well agree with you, but I’m not going to say that year one. I’m definitely not going to go after the player.

Reading comprehension: we could’ve gotten much, much more value out of multiple third round picks this year than we did out of Isaac TesLaa. Spin away, buddy.

Possibly

Lions need to address the center position by FA. Iions need to address the de position by FA.

Lions should look for decker replacement by the draft.

I doubt the top two will happen

Jerry Jones used his 3rd round pick to acquire the 2nd best receiver in football this year. The Lions obviously couldve gotten much more value out of 3x3rd round picks.

People here also need to understand that criticizing Brad doesn’t mean Brad needs to be fired.

Zero nuance lately.

You’re saying the two third-round picks we had that we gave up for TesLaa would’ve ā€œpossiblyā€ provided less value than 6 total catches?

What are we talking about.

Thankfully, I wasn’t paying attention here at the time but I’m sure Mikemcmahon aka Iggy aka Angry Driver ripped on the Gibbs and Campbell picks because they weren’t ā€œvalue positionsā€ at their draft spots…..he’s always right until he’s wrong, which he usually is…

They already did last year… Tate will play center… And 2 of GG/Mahogany/Frazier will be the starting guards

Ragnow was drafted 18th, was that terrible value?

You are a 100% right Nate! We have the invisible man playing DE opposite Hutch. Brad has failed to ā€œ water the garden ā€œ on the O-line. I’m sick of people saying, he has addressed the O-line. Tossing mid to late rd picks on injured players and projects from small schools or North of the border isn’t addressing the O-line.

I will just leave this here!
