When the eleventh pick in the second round of the NFL draft rolled around, many Detroit Lions fans wanted the team to draft a high-profile defensive player still on the board, such as cornerback Greedy Williams and linebacker Chase Winovich.
Instead, general manager Bob Quinn ignored these popular names and trusted his team scouts, picking a prospect that seldom casual Lions fans had ever heard of in linebacker Jahlani Tavai.
Many draft gurus thought that Quinn and company reached on this pick, as he was projected as a possible fourth or fifth round pick by NFL.
