Lions Won't Rule Out Drafting Quarterback
The Lions need a third quarterback and head coach Jim Schwartz won't rule out the idea of drafting one next month.
"You can take that first-round draft pick off, but maybe at some time in the draft a quarterback makes sense," Schwartz said Friday.
"That's happened a bunch of different times. You're sitting saying, 'Hey, look, this makes sense right here.' I don't think we've gone into (the off-season) saying, 'This is exactly how we're going to fill that.' What you do is you just weigh every option that comes up. When one makes sense, you pull the trigger on it and right now we're still weighing our options."
