Rams Offering Two (Future) Firsts for Burns

[zacka77ack]

The ONLY reason you don't take the picks is if, somewhere in the back of your mind, you're thinking about Anderson in the draft and Corral as QB1 in 2023.

Burns is the guy you play opposite your elite DE.

I’d take that deal in a heart beat.

It’s a no unless the eagles are offering this years 2 first they have 

[ForJimmy]

If it was this year's first and next year's I would think about it.  It's still tempting....

How is Burns blowing up the team? You are about to pay him $25M a year for 8-9 sacks a year. We can do a lot for that like add a Hopkins or Hill or AJ Brown. Then you also have two firsts.

He's only 24 and on pace for 12 sacks this season, without a decent bookend on the other side. We need a few pieces and we can compete now. Go get him help on the other side and the sacks will come. That's just my prediction, which is no sillier than your prediction of him only getting 8-9 sacks per year in the future.

Crazy good deal and perfect for our time frame. We don't need Burns sacks this season, or next. Neither of those seasons will be good. Then we get those 1st round picks to add to hopefully to a QB who is coming into his won. Perfect.

I'd want something else thrown in, this year. 

If they want to throw in a third round pick this year, that would give us our first, our and SF's second, and then SF's and the Rams' third.  That is a good position to be in, and if we wanted to move up we could probably package something to move back into the mid-late first round.

The sand is running out of the hourglass for the Rams' window, so we have some leverage here.

I live Burns, but the fact we have no idea what defense we will play next year (unless Wilks is the HC), his contract is due up soon, and he has been known to miss a few tackles/sacks would make this tempting.

If the firsts were in 2023 and 2024, I think Carolina probably takes this deal. Being in 2024 and 2025 makes it tougher because there's no guarantee the current GM and whoever is the new coach would be making that 2025 pick.

1. Rams are going to be in cap hell in a couple of years

2. They have no draft capital to get better

3.  McVay flirted with retiring last off season

4. Stafford isnt getting better

5. Donold will be 33

 

They are going to suck in a couple years

You also have to wonder why this is getting so much press. I feel like someone in the Panthers could be leaking this to up any last minute offers for Burns. Wouldn't shock me if we end up trading him after all, especially if anything gets added to the offer. If we get a haul, I wouldn't hate it. But we'd really have to hit big in the draft. This defense would have no pass rush as is minus Burns and a defense without a pass rush is no defense.

[saX man]

You need either a more assured high pick or a younger known commodity/player (or both) in a Burns deal.  

Not taking it personally.  

Maybe if they tossed in Van Jefferson and some mid rounders but hard no.  They're not the team I'd want to send him to, can get better elsewhere or just keep him and see if we can work something out within the next year.

[pantherj]

Fitt I will forgive you for all your blunders, even Sam, just please make this happen. We would be robbing that Rams. DO IT.
