Underneath general manager Bob Quinn, the Detroit Lions have had a knack for hitting on their mid-round picks. Quinn has done a good job of drafting guys that have a safe floor, if not a spectacular ceiling. Most of these picks have provided a solid performance for the Lions, though not necessarily at an elite level.
Some examples of these picks are guard/center Graham Glasgow, defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson, offensive lineman Joe Dahl, linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin, and defensive lineman Da’Shawn Hand. As impressive as Quinn has been at hitting on his mid-round picks, his history of hitting on first round picks has been less so through his tenure thus far.
