With the 16th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, the Lions select Ohio State offensive tackle Taylor Decker.

CBS Sports' Pete Prisco gave the pick a B:

Decker Grade: B. I like him more than Conklin. They need line help, so it makes sense — Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) April 29, 2016

Here's CBS Sports' Joel Corry on the financial aspect:

The maximum Taylor Decker will get in his 4-year rookie deal is $10,966,984, which includes a signing bonus of no more than $6,175,988. — Joel Corry (@corryjoel) April 29, 2016

At 6-foot-7 and 310 pounds, Decker clearly has the size, strength, and toughness required to play in NFL trenches. He's also durable. At Ohio State, Decker started 42 straight games, which includes 28 at left tackle. In Detroit, he should slot in on the right side.

He does, however, need some work. For one, his height can hinder him, as he suffers from a lack of leverage too frequently. He also needs to improve on the mental side of the game as he comes up against more complicated blitz packages. In his scouting report, CBS Sports draft analyst Dane Brugler wrote about how he's "fooled by delayed blitzes."

Here's more from Brugler, this time touching on the positives:

He has reliable character, a can-do attitude and pro-ready make-up that fits NFL locker rooms. Decker can struggle at times with speed off the edge, especially flexible rushers who can bend underneath him, but he has the frame, balance and forceful hands to neutralize quickness and control the point of attack.

Although he doesn't have as much potential as someone like Laremy Tunsil -- don't expect him to turn into the next All-Pro -- Decker can start from day one, which is good news for Matthew Stafford. Last year, the Lions surrendered 44 sacks, the 10th most in the league, and 103 quarterback hits, per NFL.com.

Pass protection is an issue that extends back to 2014:

Lions:

• Matthew Stafford sacked 89 times in last 2 seasons, 4th most in NFL.

• 6 of last 7 first-round picks on offensive or defensive line — NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) April 29, 2016

In the NFC North, Decker will go up against pass rushers like Pernell McPhee and Julius Peppers. So, he'll certainly be tested.
