2016 NFL DRAFT: PICK-BY-PICK GRADES AND ANALYSIS OF ROUND 1
Senior analyst Steve Palazzolo breaks down and grades every first-round selection.

16. Detroit Lions: Taylor Decker | Grade: D+
Decker is not among the elite tackles in this draft as he does his best work in the running game, but he?s questionable in pass protection. He finished with the No. 22 overall grade in the draft class, but more importantly, his +1.6 pass blocking grade ranked 37th and it?s cause for concern for a first-round offensive tackle. He certainly has the frame and length to develop, but it?s a huge risk in the middle of the first round for a player we saw as more of a late second-round prospect. As a power run blocker, Decker is strong, creating movement at the point of attack and fitting well into a power scheme. Ultimately, he has to make major strides in pass protection to warrant the first-round selection.
