at this point if a couple trades arent made in the next 5 hours that's probably a sign that their giving up on the season. this DL is not stopping anybody. our DTs are Malik Willis an a bunch of 5th stringers. this teams strength has turned into its weakness. there's no magical reinforcements that are coming back that we know will for sure be an stay healthy all season. they have draft capital to trade but choose not to, and this is the last year of the window. its basically come down to these next 5 hours, if they truly plan on going all in this year then multiple acquisitions would need to be made by 1pm. if they don't, get ready for the next generation rebuild.
hopefully I'm wrong.
That's life. I wouldn't expect that teams are going to be trading away the types of players that would move the needle in any dramatic way anyways. If anything we'll be looking for depth on the defensive line and Devondre Campbell's spot. At 4-4 and with the schedule the 9ers have left, I'm not sure it'd be all that wise to double down on this being the year anyways. It is what it is. The guys on the roster are going to have to step out or its on to next season.
Why not, I thought the goal is to win a Super Bowl? You're just gonna sit back and say f**k it that's the season, in other words give up!!! f**k losing, do what you can to win!!!!
Sure, you always look for ways to improve your team. The question is should management be going all in on the roster this season when it has produced a 4-4 record and is not a lock to even make the playoffs? The pattern with Lynch has been to add role players at the deadline so if they do anything it'd be rotational players. I highly doubt this is the year they would make a play for Buckner or anyone else at that level for that matter.
You don't need star players like Buckner (who most likely won't be traded anyway). Ojulari isn't a star player yet, more like player on the rise, which still wouldn't cost a 1st round pick, at least shouldn't. But players like Mathieu, Godchaux and Za'Darius Smith shouldn't cost as much as far as draft capital, look at what Smith went for anyway.
That shows how far the Lions have come. here was a time that they would have traded a high 2nd rounder for a player like that.
