With veteran Frank Ragnow’s retirement and the recent signing of experienced guard Ben Bartch, the team now has more flexibility to explore Ratledge’s potential at center without overburdening him at right guard. Depth at guard from players like Christian Mahogany and Juice Scruggs further supports this shift, making Ratledge’s transition more viable. The Lions’ decision not to draft a center this year signals confidence in developing internal options — and Ratledge could be the answer they’ve been searching for.
