With his first pick as general manager, Bob Quinn took an offensive lineman. The Detroit Lions selected Ohio State offensive tackle Taylor Decker with the 16th pick in tonight’s NFL draft. The Lions entered the draft with 10 picks and needs on both lines and in the secondary, and they moved quickly to address the offensive line. Quinn is running his first ever draft after spending the past 16 seasons in various roles with the New England Patriots. He was hired as Lions GM in January, replacing Martin Mayhew. Thursday’s first round began as expected, with quarterbacks Jared Goff of Cal and Carson Wentz of North Dakota State going first and second to the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles. The Rams and Eagles traded up for the right to select the quarterbacks earlier this month. The real intrigue began at No. 3, where the San Diego Chargers stunned many in the draft community by selecting Ohio State defensive end Joey Bosa. Buckeyes running back Ezekiel Elliott went No. 4, giving the Buckeyes two top-five picks, and Florida State cornerback Jalen Ramsey, considered by some the best player in the draft, went No. 5 to the Jacksonville Jaguars. - See more at:http://www.freep.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2016/04/28/detroit-lions-nfl-draft-pick/83667876/
