The Detroit Lions made significant changes to their front office and new general manager Bob Quinn will make his first selections for the Detroit Lions in the 2016 NFL draft. With the new blood in the front office, there’s likely to be a change in the attitude the Lions bring to the draft and how they go about the business of composing their roster.
The Lions have not drafted a quarterback since they selected Matthew Stafford in 2009, opting to go the way of free agency or bringing in a veteran presence through free agency. They just haven’t brought anybody in to challenge Stafford on any level and have been fortunate that Stafford is a very durable quarterback that hasn’t missed time.
