How much do the Detroit Lions hate being losers? 

It may sound tough, but this is the type of question that you ask a team that hasn't hosted a playoff game since 1993. Yes, you read that one right.

The Lions have been perennial losers for the better part of the last three decades, but all of that could be on the mend after one of the best offseasons in franchise history.

With everything pointed in the right direction and the important positions addressed, the Lions have two paths forward; stay content or stay hungry. However, is there really a choice when you haven't seen success for so long?

There is no 'okay.' There should never be any satisfied. There is no overkill, and there is no time to stay stop until this team is playing for a Super Bowl.

No signing is too much. Every single improvement, even if a minimal one, matters, and the team should do everything in its power to get better every day.

Perhaps the Lions choose to get better today by trading for DeAndre Hopkins after news broke that they are losing free agent DJ Chark.

Now, before you go to your computer and start angrily typing how stupid this is because the Lions have already done a good job at compiling weapons (which they have!), you have to wonder if being content at one of the most important positions on the field is smart for a team with such limited playoff success.

Hint: it is a bad idea.

Sure, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Josh Reynolds are primed to tear it up with Jared Goff, but why stop there when the asking price for Hopkins is so low?

Based on the current market, the Lions could go from having a great wide receiver room to one of the best in the NFL for the cost of a few Day Two and Day Three picks. Is that truly such a steep price to pay, even if the salary is high?

Hopkins isn't coming off the best stretch of his career, but don't let the numbers fool you; he can still play with the best of them, and his addition to one of the best offenses in the NFL in 2023 would only raise that level further.

The Buccaneers in 2020 are a decent example of why this works.

They already had a good wide receiver room in place when Tom Brady arrived with All-Pro-caliber players in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, yet they then went out and signed Antonio Brown and Rob Gronkowski.

Tampa was probably 'good enough' at WR without Brown on the field, but look how that ended (the Super Bowl ring, not the jumping jacks off the field).

One way or another, teams that recognize that investing capital at the receiver position matters find success at a record rate.

Jared Goff may be good, but is he really at a place where anyone should ever say that he couldn't use more weapons? If Tom Brady could always use more help, so can Goff.

It may be a big move to make, but the Lions have a big hole to fill with DJ Chark heading to the Panthers. Reynolds may be a good player, but anyone that would choose him over DeAndre Hopkins probably needs to change how they see the situation.

The Lions would be crazy to at least not try. Finding a way to land one of the biggest free agent defenders and trading for a player that has been the top name for weeks would be a Hell of a way to end the losing culture in Detroit.
