Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia Speak Tuesday at NFL Combine

Detroit's general manager and head coach will address the media Tuesday afternoon.

Tuesday afternoon at the NFL combine, Lions general manager Bob Quinn and head coach Matt Patricia will speak to reporters regarding a myriad of topics.

Quinn speaks at the podium first at 12:15 p.m. (EST) followed by Patricia at 12:30 p.m. (EST).

While some have said that not much can be gleaned from these media sessions, recall last season that Quinn revealed the team would not be opposed to selecting a tight end with the No. 8 overall pick.

He also revealed insights into how he felt about building through the draft vs. free agency.

He expressed last year that he felt free agency was a safer bet than the draft.

On Tuesday, Quinn will be expected to address Detroit's roster needs, the status of Darius Slay's contract negotiations, the possibility of Detroit selecting a quarterback in the first round and later rounds of the draft, Danny Amendola re-signing and Damon Harrison being released.

As for Patricia, he could shed light on who will be on his coaching staff in 2020 and what he has learned about what went wrong in 2019.

It will be interesting to see if questions are asked in regard to the team selecting a quarterback in the first two rounds of this year's draft.

Patricia and Quinn have both publicly expressed their support of franchise quarterback Matthew Stafford.

However, there is a plethora of quarterbacks that Detroit could legitimately have its eye on this year.

Here is the complete GMs/coaches schedule from Indianapolis.
