Throughout his tenure as Detroit Lions general manager, Bob Quinn has been fairly transparent when it comes to the NFL draft -- at least more than one would expect. When needs have been identified, Quinn typically has gone after them.
In 2016, Detroit needed an offensive lineman, and Quinn took Taylor Decker in the first round. In 2017, the Lions needed a linebacker and selected Jarrad Davis. Last year was a bit of a surprise, with the Lions taking center Frank Ragnow; but in retrospect, the possibility of Quinn selecting another offensive lineman was always there.
