If the Lions want to consistently be competing for a division title, then they need to continue to build the depth on their football team. This definitely isn’t a situation where James Quick would end up being a top receiver, but he could play a significant back-up role on a playoff-worthy football team.

The Lions have pulled in Golden Tate and Marvin Jones from free-agency over the past few season and they are easily his top targets in the passing game.

With that being said, Quick would be a viable option for Detroit as a back-up wide receiver.

It wouldn’t be a very stressful situation either because the spotlight is never on Detroit, therefore dropping the football wouldn’t become a huge distraction for the Lions.

Again, the Lions needs to build their depth, therefore drafting James Quick would accomplish just that.
