The Lions made an obvious attempt to upgrade their offensive line in this year’s NFL Draft. With the 32nd-ranked rushing offense, it was clear the team needed to make some moves to improve on that run game, as well as helping protect quarterback Matthew Stafford. Drafting offensive tackle Taylor Decker in the 1st-round was expected, but fans were surprised when the team selected Graham Glasgow, center out of the University of Michigan, in the 3rd-round.
The Lions certainly needed better play from the center position, but most thought 2014 3rd-round pick, Travis Swanson, would be given another year as the starter.
