Quote: If this proves to be correct, I'm surprised that new Lions G.M. Bob Quinn is investing this much in a WR, even with Calvin Johnson's retirement and the need to compliment Golden Tate. Quinn was in the Patriots organization for the previous 16 seasons and they rarely invested heavily in a WR. Up to this point, Quinn has been following a Patriots blue print. Having said all of this, Marvin Jones is probably the best WR option on the open market.
