26. Seattle Seahawks: Taylor Decker, OT, Ohio State

The Seahawks’ offensive line problems have been well documented over the last year or so and they’re not getting any better. Seattle could lose both Russell Okung and JR Sweezy to free agency, meaning Russell Wilson could take an even bigger beating in 2016.

To keep Wilson upright, the Seahawks must draft an offensive lineman and Taylor Decker would be a solid choice. Decker is a tower, standing at 6’7″ and weighing 310 pounds. Decker is a natural leader, which the Seahawks would be missing without Okung and Sweezy on the roster. Decker is a bully and packs a punch (literally). He’d immediately make the Seahawks’ offensive line better, but, honestly, it can’t get that much worse.
