Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn has a plan to make sure nothing goes wrong Thursday when the team gets on the clock with the No. 3 pick of the NFL Draft.

Lancaster will be working in a Winnebago in Quinn’s driveway for every hour of the three-day NFL Draft, ESPN reported Tuesday. Lancaster will then go back home after each night is over and return back to Quinn’s makeshift workroom when the draft restarts.

Additionally, Quinn told ESPN he has a desk phone set up with each NFL team on speed dial and several NFL numbers programmed in for potential trades.
