Taylor Decker wants Detroit Lions to 'take all the linemen' in 2021 NFL draft

The Detroit Lions have taken an offensive lineman with two of their past five first-round picks, and one of those choices hopes they go back to that well this week.

Left tackle Taylor Decker said Tuesday he would be all for the Lions drafting an offensive lineman with the seventh pick of the first round.

"Take a lineman in the first round," Decker said. "Take all the linemen in the draft. I love it cause I’m an offensive lineman and I see a lot of value in that position, so I would love it."

DRAFTING THE LINE:NFL draft prospect Penei Sewell plays with 'violent intentions,' may not reach Detroit Lions

Decker, the 16th pick in the 2016 NFL draft, and Frank Ragnow, the 20th pick in 2018, form the nucleus of a young Lions offensive line that ranks among the best in the NFL.
