Allen Park — Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn made a rare appearance on the local airwaves, joining 97.1 FM on Tuesday morning to discuss the team's draft haul.

Quinn was asked early in the interview if a tight end can provide value inside the top 10, after the Lions selected Iowa's T.J. Hockenson No. 8 overall.

There have been only four tight ends selected with a top-10 pick the past two decades, and the Lions are responsible for the last two.
