| Lions Open To Drafting A QB To Compete With Drew Stanton? | | | The Lions need a third quarterback on their roster and, more important, a dependable backup for Matthew Stafford. Signing a veteran to compete with Drew Stanton for that role would seem to make the most sense, but coach Jim Schwartz said drafting a quarterback is not out of the question. “You can take that first-round draft pick off, but maybe at some time in the draft a quarterback makes sense,” Schwartz told reporters 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.” Source: Detroit Free Press | | |
