The Detroit Lions ended up going offensive tackle in the first round, grabbing Taylor Decker from Ohio State. The pick came as little surprise to analysts: Decker was one of the most common names linked to the Lions in the latest mock drafts.
The pick gives some much needed help to the Lions' offensive line, but Decker was a bit of a divisive pick. Many believe he won't be able to transition to left tackle and there are some concerns about his pass blocking skills. On the other hand, the Lions have had a huge hole at right tackle for a long time, and Decker is an aggressively dominant run blocker. Detroit had one of the worst running games in the league last year, so Decker makes sense.
Pro Football Focus doesn't seem to like the pick:
Lions get harshest grade of the 1st round so far: a D+ for Taylor Decker. Just the No. 52 player in our rankings: https://t.co/mFE3hkR330
