Rams Offering Two (Future) Firsts for Burns

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.

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.

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 own. Perfect.

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.

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.

    • I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.  
    • I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years. 
    • He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
