I may have gotten a little carried away…

*I understand this is a pie in the sky type scenario.

I know a lot of Detroit fans are eager to make big trades this offseason but, I think we should take advantage of the opportunity to load up the prospect cupboard and make our “big” moves next offseason or as early as this upcoming seasons trade deadline.

The two deadline trades would likely require better prospects going to the respective trade partners, likely 1-2 players taken from the 2023 draft however I think two unprotected 1st rounders, a 2nd & a 3rd going the other way in each deal represents solid framework for the packages. The prospects aren’t bad but only B & C level guys and a bit of a quantity over quality type group in terms of players going the other way in these trades which I understand won’t likely cut it.
