The Detroit Lions have the best center in the game with Frank Ragnow. I don't at all think that's a wild take. The thing about Ragnow is that, as good as he is, he's not going to play forever. It's something that's been talked about at length since he started having trouble with his toe. 

We don't know when Ragnow walks away from football, but we do know that it's probably not that far away. So that brings up the question of how to replace him? The Lions have some options. 

One of them is cross-training players and maybe moving one of them from guard to center. We know they plan to give rookies Tate Ratledge and Miles Fraizer looks at center. 

The other thing may be to train a guy for a few years until he's ready to take the role. Last year, the Lions brought on Florida center Kinglsey Eguakun as an undrafted rookie, and he's one option. Then there's rookie Leif Fautanu. 

Fautanu went undrafted, but I can't really tell you why. He was the center for one of the most fun teams last year at Arizona State. A team everyone watched because of Cam Skattebo. A guy who ran through holes that Fautanu helped open up. 

On top of that, he allowed just eight pressures and no sacks last year. He allowed just two sacks in his time at Arizona State. His 86 pass block grade from Pro Football Focus was the 11th best in the country among centers. Better than some guys who got drafted. 

He was also All-Big 12 and won the Polynesian Football Player of the Year award. 

The one knock on him really seems to be that he's undersized. He's 6-foot-1 and 298 pounds. He wasn't invited to the NFL Combine, but if he were, he would have been the smallest interior offensive lineman there. 

While he has that unfavorable measurement, he actually measured really well in other areas. He has 34-inch arms and a crazy 83-inch wingspan. For comparison's sake, Frank Ragnow has 33 1/8 inch arms and a 78 7/8 inch wingspan. 

At the end of the day, Holmes has talked about how the Lions don't really care about the measurements. You saw that during the draft when the Lions wore sweaters with HWS printed on them. That HWS with the line crossed through it stood for "height, weight, and speed. 

“Height, weight, speed – it is the opposite of film evaluation, and we’re all about film evaluation, and that’s the hard part of scouting. Height, weight (and) speed is easy. Stats are easy. A position listed is easy. But film evaluation is hard to figure out.”

The Lions are good at the draft because they don't care about most of the stuff that draft experts do. They want to see good play on film, and it's clear they see it with Fautanu.
