That's a simplistic way of looking at this.  

The whole “a 1st in two years is worth a 3rd this year” is the absolute dumbest way to value picks ever. I hate it and it’s absolutely illogical. I know teams use this scale but it makes no sense. Cause come 2025 that logic goes completely out the window and suddenly that pick is worth multiple future 1sts.

I swear that one win against Tampa gave a lot of the fanbase a false notion that we’re only a player or two away. We need to finally complete the rebuild we’ve been avoiding since Cam’s shoulder went to poo…

All this "but it's only worth ... " people need to go take a nap. We're not competing this year. We're not competing next year. But yeahhhh, let's overpay Burns (which we will) and then not even care about having two first round picks in 2024 and two first round picks in 2025. No one wants first round picks! You never get good players in the first round!

 

Yep. 

A first round in 2025 is worth a first round pick in 2025.   Same for a 2024.   It's a first round pick and it carries that value in 2024.

It's worth less to someone else today....because most are trying to win now or in the immediate future.  So yeah, it's not worth much to the Rams.  Right now is their moment.  That's not us.  Future picks in all honesty shouldn't hold the same value on all teams.  Because they aren't all in the same place. We should be focused on building something new. 

And I don't care to start off the next new HC era by drastically overpaying a one dimensional DE as the cornerstone of a defense.  Especially when the pass rushing specialist isn't actually a monster at the one thing he is noted for.

The fact that a team like Rams, who rely heavily on star power over high draft picks, offered two firsts for Burns is proof we should not trade Burns. 

I mean it says something that all these teams seem to be interested in our best players, might be a good idea to keep them since you need good players to support a QB like Bryce Young

Or, the Rams are stupid. No one else is offering a 1st because he's not worth a first to them ... and they are offering TWO firsts.

What's tempting about this deal is the probability that the Rams may be a dumpster fire by the time those picks hit. They sold out hard to get that SB win, and now they're mortgaging their future to keep that window open if at all possible. Odds are very high that leads to a hard crash in a couple years. 

Tempting.

Very tempting.

I’m with you completely on the picks and I’m definitely in the camp of trading Burns for two 1sts. And I love Burns, but I don’t even see him as our most important defensive player of defense. For me, Derrick Browns development this year along with an elite Jaycee when he’s healthy and Chinn back in the role that nearly made him rookie of the year are arguably all bigger components. Burns is great at what he does. But with where our team is currently at, this trade feels obvious.

      I believe in bryce...

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
