Bob Quinn made his first draft pick as general manager of the Detroit Lions without a lot of drama and angst.
What he got with that pick – offensive tackle Taylor Decker of Ohio State, taken by Quinn with the 16th pick overall in the first round Thursday night – is a player who fills a need and arrives in Detroit with a winning pedigree in college and without any personal baggage.
Quinn didn’t have to spend a second of his 10-minute press conference talking about any issue in Decker’s personal life that the Lions had to overlook or explain away.
