That's a reason to grow the game across the globe and increase the potential player pool. They need solid farm leagues to develop players.

We only looked like we had decent depth Guido. If we are unable to start our players due to the inordinate amount of annual injuries then we need better depth. We can't continue to sustain these devastating injuries or we need better depth. Something has to go. I would suggest trading up less and using those mid round picks to develop into back up roles and eventual starters.
So, we had decent depth last year, and as you say injuries happen across the league, but then why do they happen more to us? And if not more often than other teams then why is our depth so shallow? I'll tell you why? We only draft five players a year. There is no competition at the back end of the roster, fighting for a spot. We keep drafting like we're one player away but in reality we are several supporting players away from having decent depth to make a playoff run.
