Former Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn had a lot of faults, but the one thing he consistently found success at was drafting offensive lineman.
Taylor Decker (71 starts) and Frank Ragnow (45 starts) are two of the best players on the current roster and have both received large second contracts. Graham Glasgow got a big contract with the Denver Broncos after starting four years (58 starts) in Detroit. Joe Dahl (21 starts) received a contract extension before falling out of favor with the last coaching staff. Tyrell Crosby has been a reliable reserve and has stepped up on multiple occasions (18 starts).
