Quote:Hey D6, how did you like getting an Ohio State player? I hope Taylor Decker has a great career except against the Packers.

 

 I understand and respect the pick but I would have preferred one of the Clemson DEs based on who was available.  

 

My guess is Lions G.M. BoB Quinn took Taylor Decker instead of a Defensive Lineman with pick # 16 is because of concern of limited or no viable Offensive Tackle options with pick # 46.   After seeing Germain Ifedi taken by the Seahawks at the end of Round 1 (  I thought he had a realistic shot at lasting to pick # 46  ),  if LeRaven Clark is taken before # 46,  it will make Quinn's decision look even better.   Ultimately,  what the Lions end up getting with the pick # 46 draft resource will at least from my perspective go along way in determining on paper whether Quinn made the right call with Decker.   Like many have mentioned in this thread,  there are some good options in Round 2.  How long they will last and whether they would be good options for the respective team in question remains to be seen.
