Fair, you didn't say "never", but "barely" can be subjective because there were at least a few of us who mentioned Ragnow often. So while he may not have been mentioned by a lot of people early on, he was being mentioned by a select few quite a bit. Those who hardly heard anything about Ragnow up until Lap mentioned him either...
1) Didn't really frequent the draft forums until Combine and later
2) Only went off what was (or wasn't) being discussed by NFL Network and ESPN
3) Didn't care to look into Ragnow early on when those few were mentioning him because "most" were not mentioning him.

Regardless, at this point, the members have spoken and a majority preferred the "letting the picks come as they may" approach vs trading up to get their guy. And in this case, it may be because Ragnow vs Price were so close in "perceived" value (we'll have to wait and see if it comes true or not) that it was better to keep the extra pick(s).
