My hope for this defense and this team as a whole, lies in the future with a rebuilding plan that includes multiple draft picks, not as a long shot for the present.
Which is why I don’t personally favor a trade right now for a defensive player that would give up future draft capital. I just can’t see this team as a playoff team.
Maybe I’ll be proven wrong but I just see the trade scenarios as sacrificing our future for at best a 100-1 dice roll that implies we can make this season “special”. I want to develop some players and identify who is worth keeping for the future.
