With the NFL trade deadline coming on Tuesday, the thought is that the Detroit Lions will do what they can to add a running back to the mix.
One running back who seemed to be a good fit was Kenyan Drake.
But Drake will not be heading to the Motor City as he has reportedly been traded to the Arizona Cardinals for a 6th round (could become a 5th round) draft pick.
So, with Drake no longer an option, who could the Lions be targeting to replace Kerryon Johnson, who is out until at least Week 16 with a knee injury?
According to Erik Schlitt of LionsWire, the Lions could be targeting Seattle Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny. Schlitt notes that he believes GM Bob Quinn would be willing to give up a top 100 draft pick to acquire Penny.
I said this to @DetroitOnLion yesterday, I have a weird feeling Rashaad Penny is the target and that Quinn would be willing to pay a top-100 pick for him (he’s the only player I could see BQ spending a top-100 pick on)
To be clear: I wouldn’t trade that much for him https://t.co/UEFTmRB3uz

What do you think, Nation? Would Penny be a good fit for the Lions? Would he be worth giving up that much draft capital?
