Why the Detroit Lions should draft Rashawn Slater

For all of the missteps made by former Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn, one aspect of his roster construction he certainly got more right than wrong was drafting offensive linemen.

His first selection was left tackle Taylor Decker in 2016, and he grabbed interior offensive lineman Graham Glasgow two rounds later that same draft. In 2018, Quinn selected center Frank Ragnow in the first round and nabbed swing tackle Tyrell Crosby in the fifth. Last year, Quinn made one of the best value picks of his tenure when he drafted guard Jonah Jackson in the third round.
