The year is 2016. Martin Mayhew had just been fired several months prior, and Bob Quinn has been brought in to be the new general manager of the Detroit Lions.
Quinn had a tough task ahead of him. Mayhew had some disappointing drafts over his tenure in Detroit and Quinn had to prove that he could turn things around and use his scouting expertise to make the most of his nine draft picks.
Now, sights are set on the 2021 season and Quinn is out of a job. In this series, ‘Where are they now?’, we’ll explore each and every draft pick that Bob Quinn has made and determine just how successful he was on draft day.
Of course, we’ll start at the beginning with the 2016 NFL draft.
