20 newcomers we expect to make an immediate impact in 2018 (Frank Ragnow - Overall grade of 93.7 in 2017 - New Lions center Ragnow, a three-year starter for Arkansas, checks all the boxes for an elite interior offensive lineman. He is a road grader with high-end experience paving the way for a ground-and-pound attack, as evidenced by his 93.9 and 92.5 run-block grades in 2016 and 2017, respectively. He is no slouch in pass protection either, as he ranked second among qualifying FBS centers in pass-blocking efficiency (99.6) and earned a career-high 88.3 pass-block grade in 2017.): https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-20-newcomers-we-expect-to-make-an-immediate-impact-in-2018
Pro Football Weekly's 2018 Quarterback rankings (7. Matthew Stafford, Lions — Over the past two-and-a-half NFL seasons, there hasn't been a more efficient, productive quarterback than Stafford, who has 72 TD passes vs. just 22 interceptions and 10,952 passing yards. He's done it in spite of working with the NFL’s worst ground game and the sudden retirement of Calvin Jonson following the 2015 season. Stafford is also Mr. Dependable, having started all 112 games over the past seven seasons.): http://www.profootballweekly.com/lists/2018/06/25/c181bf9b05a74f60b0839f554a7ac252/index.xml?page=8
Pro Football Weekly's 2018 CB rankings (9. Darius Slay, Lions - Slay (6-0, 195 pounds) is another bigger corner, who excels in both zone and man-to-man coverage, and isn’t afraid to come up and get physical. He doesn’t appear to fear any receiver, while locking down the strong side of the field for the Lions’ defense. He is known in the Motor City as “Big Play” Slay — and NFL evaluators marvel at his ability to almost always show up in the toughest spots and biggest moments for the Lions. His best season came in 2017, with a league-leading eight picks, earning him first-team All Pro honors and his first trip to the Pro Bowl.): http://www.profootballweekly.com/lists/2018/07/05/c8d3e99e769949fab823af50c6ce304a/index.xml?page=4
