Analyst suggest Lions could look to draft 'developmental' QB

While it appears the Detroit Lions are just fine rolling with Jared Goff as their starting quarterback, ESPN draft analyst Jordan Reid thinks there’s a good chance the team uses one of its nine draft picks on a signal caller.

During a recent appearance on “SportsCenter,” Reid offered up his best guess as to which QB Detroit could be targeting and which round he thinks it might pull the trigger.

“Based on the scouts and sources that I have talked to, they seem to be content with Jared Goff just because Brad Holmes was with the Rams when they selected him with the No. 1 overall pick,” Reid said. “But I wouldn’t rule out them taking a quarterback on Day 2 or Day 3. One option I would like to bring up here is Houston quarterback Clayton Tune—a player who’s seen as a very intriguing late-round pick. … He operates well in rhythm, he has enough arm strength and mobility as a developmental option. I think they could find a lot of intrigue with him.”
