Rams Offering Two (Future) Firsts for Burns

An elite pass rusher in the hand is worth two in the (future)draft. 

If Fitterer takes this deal, then the tank is in full effect. You don't trade away a player like Burns for future picks if you think you'll be able to compete next season. 

I mean the team is 2-6 starting the 4th string QB and already dumped two high priced players. The tank is already in full effect if you haven’t noticed.

Rejecting two 1st round picks for Burns is going to be one Fitt's dumbest moves. Good grief that is a fantastic deal! Get on it Fitt today!

So you want picks in 2024, and 2025 having no idea where they will be in the draft order for a guy that was a pro-bowler last year, and is ascending as one of the better edge rushers in the league WITH NO ONE else on the DL / EDGE group who has a sack this season at the halfway mark....

People get to caught up over ''having'' picks, you need good players on the roster as well, you don't sell a sub 25 pass rusher like Brian, if anything, we need to add a better compliment to him. YGM, and Haynes, haven't done ANYTHING in the pass rush dept. as it relates to sacks.

Guys we're not on a SB run because we almost beat the Falcons. We have 2 wins. 2. We need future 1st round picks, not an undersized DE.

Not about being on a run, you don't trade our best defensive player for picks 2 and 3 years away, that is foolish and short-sighted. 

If it was a 22', and 23' plus ''sweeteners'' you could consider it, but to trade one of the better young pass rushers for picks 2 and 3 years away is some Madden type non-sense.

They haven't traded away of the set pieces of this team. They traded away a WR that was about to get cut and a RB that can't stay on the field and deserved to go somewhere that won't have to ride the wheels off of him. We don't have to tank. With a QB and a couple FAs we could be competing next season. Right now Fitterer has plenty of draft capital to do just that.

I have some idea where the picks will be. Between 1 and 32.

I don't care about Burns getting sacks. This team is ass and we're going to blow it up and rebuild. Burns is not the difference maker for us winning the SB in the next couple of seasons.

    • So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.   
    • My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
