It's impossible not to feel better about the Detroit Lions' running game coming out of the draft.

The Lions ranked last in the league in rushing last season, but used four of their six picks on help for their offensive line and backfield.

That's good. First-round pick Frank Ragnow should start at center or left guard this fall, and I'd be surprised if second-rounder Kerryon Johnson doesn't lead the team in carries.
