Round # 1 Pick # 16
Taylor Decker OT Ohio State
Analysis:
Decker becomes a day one starter at right tackle. He is a better athlete than Riley Reiff but needs to develop as pass protector.

Round # 2 Pick #46
A'Shawn Robinson DT Alabama
Analysis:
Robinson is big guy who just turned 21. A first team All-America at the National Champions. I thought he was a better fit at 5 tech in 3-4. He will play the 3 tech in Detroit.

Love the first 4 rounds, taking linemen who are position versatile, biggest need that no one talks about is how bad the lions special teams are (overall lack of depth of talent) really did a nice job of adding guys who step in and make an immediate impact there. think the need for receiver is overblown with Ebron basically a receiver and riddick as a pass catching specialist who I would like to see on the field as a slot more this year with someone like ameer in the backfield on third down.
