Bob Quinn held his annual pre-draft news conference Thursday afternoon at the Detroit Lions’ headquarters in Allen Park. He smiled a lot.

Said a lot, too, without saying much, except that he’s happy to trade the team’s No. 8 pick in the upcoming NFL draft. He's said this plenty lately. Whether he means it is another thing.

The Lions’ general manager is headed into his fourth draft next week.
