With the prices of the market and the contract situations, if you can get Hendrickson for 2 seconds and Ojulari for like a fourth, wouldn't you rather have that and the peace of mind that comes with it for the cost of an extra 4th rounder?
Especially because of the lack of downside. With a roster this close to complete, what exactly would the Lions use those picks for? A third wide receiver? A backup guard? Because you certainly shouldn't expect to get a starting edge rusher drafting there, let alone one that could jump right in and be an impact player right away.

I guess the idea is that you'd use them to keep your depth as guys eventually price themselves off the team, but I agree that if you truly think this team has a shot at a SB you go all in.

The Lions aren't built around a true franchise QB ala a Mahomes or a Brady. They are built on their depth to some degree which makes that competition window a bit smaller I think because guys start to eat up cap space.
