Allen Park — After finishing last in the NFL in rushing last season, it’s putting it mildly to suggest the Detroit Lions need to invest in their ground game this offseason.
General manager Bob Quinn already has said he plans to add a running back, and ESPN analyst Mel Kiper, on a Thursday conference call, said the position is the team’s biggest need.
But Kiper doesn’t believe Detroit needs to address the position in the first round, where they’d struggle to get value picking No. 20 overall.
“They’ve got to get a top-flight running back,” Kiper said.
