Trade down is probably the best outcome in that situation.

It would be a tough sell, for sure.
But Decker is 29 and has a cap hit for an acquiring team of about $14 million/yr. For a solid LT that's a bargain. I have to think they could get him moved for something like a 2nd rounder.
So you're sitting at that point on 2 bookend OTs making very little money for the next 5 years. You're cap neutral for 2022 but about $17 million ahead in 23 and 24.
And with Campbell being something of a mongoloid, the pure power that line has on it would allow him to be every big the mauler on offense he'd like to be.
Sure, if you could trade down, it's worth considering. But if I'm Detroit I can't take Hamilton (who's probably the safest pick in the draft) at 2 - not taking a safety there, sorry. Thibodeaux just has some motor issues I'm not terribly fond of. I love Walker but at 2? As green as he is? Davis is a horse but prior to the combine we're looking at him sliding to the teens/early 20s because he has no pass rush moves. The athletic ability was never in question - it was technique. So why should the underwear Olympics move him up 15-20 spots? Stingley's Lis Franc would worry me there and frankly they HAD an All Pro Caliber CB and traded him because when you're that bad, it just isn't a position that becomes a force multiplier.
So...
I think I just go with the guy I think has the most ability and for me that's Neal.
