There's a difference between calling what the line was able to do "next to no help" and there's another thing to want to make a trade because we want to improve the team.

They did a really good job stopping the run, but they did not generate nearly enough pressures. This was a negative from a pass rush perspective. I'm not going to blame the line for the TD run considering Terrion crashed down too far inside.
Anything.

You’re right, there was interior pressure and the LBs got some as well. I exaggerated but there were a lot of plays where Darnold had all day.
It's looking like it's his job permanently now.

Lions have players in their prime in important spots up and down the roster. If ANY team ever is equipped to trade two firsts it’s this team. Who would we even target in the first in 2025? Raiders and Browns are both looking for QBs next years draft and they need the draft capital even if they aren’t public with it. Brad better make the move.
I looked at PFF mock draft 2025 and here it is:
Jones has played right tackle for LSU over the past three seasons but may be best suited as a guard in the NFL. His versatility fits perfectly with Detroit's draft plan, especially as Kevin Zeitler is 34 years old, though they also have Christian Mahogany.
Holmes can make swings at this in round 3. Trade the fukking firsts

24. DETROIT LIONS: OL EMERY JONES JR., LSU
The Lions are a team with few glaring needs, but they could follow the Howie Roseman approach by investing premium capital in the offensive line to keep it a strength before it becomes a need.Jones has played right tackle for LSU over the past three seasons but may be best suited as a guard in the NFL.

They're already loaded with a clean cap situation. If they'd already won a couple Super Bowls, I would consider keeping the picks. Until that happens, I don't give a fukk. Win one and then figure it out later.
Realistically, there is no trade they could make for Myles Garrett that would jeopardize this team going forward. His cap hit for the next three years is $20 million! Alim McNeil is gonna be making more than him. Hutch and Garrett would be a dream pairing.
