Players who can offer optimism for every non-playoff team in 2020 (Detroit Lions: C Frank Ragnow: Ragnow’s move to center was one of the best stories in a disappointing season in Detroit as he finishes the regular season with the No. 6 grade among the league’s centers. Ragnow struggled to a 61.9 grade as a rookie in 2018 while trying to play left guard, but he returned to his more natural position where he dominated in the SEC for multiple years on his way to first round draft status.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2019-breakouts-2020-optimism-non-playoff-teams
Brandt: Ranking worst-to-first candidates for 2020 (3. Detroit Lions (NFC North, 3-12-1): Injuries ruined the Lions' 2019, with quarterback Matthew Stafford, felled by a back injury in November, being the biggest casualty, though the loss of running back Kerryon Johnson did also force the team to start five different players in his absence. The defense still needs a difference-making pass rusher, with high-profile 2019 free agent Trey Flowers notching just seven sacks. Run-stuffing clogger Damon Harrison will also need to be replaced if he retires. The Lions have the No. 3 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, and ownership seems to feel strongly that the duo of coach Matt Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn can get this team to play "meaningful" football next season. The key will be establishing a strong ground game and beefed-up defense around a healthy Stafford.): http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001094013/article/dolphins-cardinals-top-nfls-worsttofirst-candidates-for-2020
