GM Bob Quinn has been killing it for the Lions

ALLEN PARK -- You'd be hard pressed to find a bigger weakness in Detroit than defending the run. You'd also be hard pressed to find a better interior defender against the run than Snacks Harrison.

On Wednesday, Lions general manager Bob Quinn landed Snacks Harrison in a trade with the Giants.

Hey, that's pretty good.

And it gets better.

All Quinn had to give up to acquire one of the league's best run-stuffers was a fifth-round pick -- and he had an extra fifth-round pick laying around anyway, after dealing Laken Tomlinson to San Francisco last year.
