OL Taylor Decker (Detroit Lions)

Decker and Diesel coming back have to make everyone feel great about getting to the title again next year. Decker is absolutely pivotal because I don't think we have a game-ready LT by the end of August '15...even if we do, not a 1st round grade talent. J. Jones could be a great tackle but I think he is a better fit at RT, as is Lisle/Trout/Taylor. Feder and Bowen are LTs but need some development before they are ready to start there. Not only do we get an elite LT back to keep it going on offense, but we have another year to groom the future LT.

B1G's most indispensable players: Ohio State

LT Taylor Decker:
There are talented spare parts just laying around at nearly every position on perhaps the most loaded offense in the country, but Urban Meyer’s attack is built on the foundation up front and replacing the anchor of the offensive line if something happened to Decker would be a tremendous challenge. Not only has the senior emerged as one of the most physical, nasty blockers in the country, but he’s also an invaluable leader who has become a spokesman outside the locker room and a model teammate inside of it. The spotlight shines brighter on the quarterbacks, running back Ezekiel Elliott and a game-breaking receiver like Michael Thomas, but with little other experience at tackle behind Decker, he is unquestionably the player the high-flying Buckeyes can least afford to lose.
