Lions believed Taylor Decker was one of 'more versatile tackles' in draft

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Bob Quinn liked the versatility. Taylor Decker just wants a chance to play. So when Decker was still on the board for the Detroit Lions at No. 16, Quinn fielded some calls from other teams and then decided he wanted to keep the pick and fill a need.

So he took Decker at No. 16 with a plan to play him at a tackle position quickly -- Quinn just isn't sure which one.

“We’re going to put him in the mix with the rest of the tackles on the roster and see who the players are at the right position,” Quinn said.
