Below is a collection of quotes from Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew's pre-draft press conference. (Quotes provided by the Lions.)
Opening statement:"We finished up our draft meetings on Tuesday and had our local pro day on Wednesday. I can't say enough about the great job that our scouts did and our evaluators did working on these guys. They spend a lot of time away from their families in the fall trying to get this draft right and get this board right. They did a phenomenal job. I think our scouts did a phenomenal job and our front office has been involved as well.
