Scouts Inc. on 2016 class

1 (16): Taylor Decker, OT, Ohio State | Highlights

What he brings: Decker is an experienced three-year starter who has played at both tackle positions. He doesn't have elite athleticism, and combined with his lack of length he projects as a right tackle at the next level. Decker doesn't have a lot of flash in his game, but he's one of the steadier offensive linemen on tape. He's a technician with the right makeup to become a very solid starter for a decade in the NFL. -- Kevin Weidl

How he fits: This pick makes sense from a value and need standpoint. The Lions need to improve a ground game that finished dead last in rushing yards per game last year and address the right tackle position. While he's just an average pass-blocker and the bulk of his experience is at left tackle, Decker is a powerful run-blocker with some experience lining up on the right. -- Steve Muench
