I doubt they would trade that. My understanding is the Ram's don't have many picks next year. 

They offered this year's second and third for McCaffrey.

1. They are living in a win now mode.. which means the next 2 years.. therefore those picks are impacted by how they perform the next two years. They have everything they need to get back to the super bowl once healthy. If these picks were 2025 and 2026 like how they do in the NBA, then you can take what you saying as a strategy.

 

2. The injury bug hits any team at any point... there is no tendencies or patterns to injuries in the NFL. Baltimore, SF, Detroit, and Cleveland are the most injured teams in the NFL right now... they are not "old" teams. Matter of fact, its the opposite. they have average ages of 25, 25.1, 26.3, and 26.4

Hey if you’re going to argue that age has no bearing on injury and recovery from injury then we can just stop the conversation there’s no point.

I want…

LA: 2023 2nd rounder, 2023 3rd rounder, 2024 1st rounder, 2025 1st rounder, 2025 3rd rounder

No. That’s not enough for Burns. Future picks aren’t worth as much as picks for this draft. 
 

It’s not exact, but in a way, each year in the future makes the value drop a round. 
 

Would you trade Burns for a 2nd and 3rd rounder in this draft?

Pie for you for understanding how the draft is viewed by GMs

I want kate upton for a night..........

Sorry, but they are idiots if they turn down 2 firsts. Brian Burns is not enough of an impact player to pay him what we are going to have to pay him.

Their best defensive player is 31.  The second best is 29

Their best wr is 29, their franchise qb is 35 and is dealing with chronic injuries.

 

You take the deal and risk the gamble. 

None of that is a convincing argument. You need more than that... that is just not how you make calculated decisions. Also, the last three patriots super bowl wins and the broncos win.... had those same tangibles you just described. 

[onmyown]

isn’t their kicker pretty decent? throw him in, deal

I am not saying that... Im saying you cant claim that the injury bug hits old age teams with certainty. There is no statistical evidence to support that.

Anyone else laughing at the people saying GROSS to possible LATE first round picks lol? They're still FIRST round picks. Jesus. We're not going to the SB this year or next, guys.

2023 - 3rd

2024 - 1st

2025 - 1st & 5th

Sold

I think Burns is a franchise cornerstone player, who is only 24. Who could easily be a top ten pass rusher for the next decade, I would prefer not to trade him. But if we are truly in a situation of tanking then I would consider it if we truly got equal value. Which would be 2 firsts minimum with a combination of picks in this upcoming draft like a 2nd and 3rd.

The roster doesnt have enough holes for us to need those picks. We would be trading one great player for 2 unknown players. We have 15 picks between now and 2024 as it is. We dont have a need for more draft picks. We have a need for a QB , LB, WR and Dline depth.
