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.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      Yeah he's the reason we weren't up by td's at that point lol, DC having to get creative just to get into field goal range and then immediately trusted his rookie kicker. to kick a 48 yarder in the wind rather then let Bryce try and complete a couple 5 yard play action passes to get in better position when Green Bay had their whole fuging team in the box to stop Dowdle lol. Twice in a row. If it was already under 40 I'd get just running to set up the hashes but jeez..

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      By Mage · Posted

      JMO, I think it is lame as hell to publicly give up on the team and then crawl back when they win a few games. Like, how can you run a PANTHERS PODCAST and then give up on it during the season? Yes, you can argue the Panthers prior to Week 3 hadn't done anything to deserve fanfare, but nobody made them run a Panthers Podcast.  They chose to.  So stick with it.  Instead they gave up and did so publicly.  Which is well within their right - but you can't then turn around and bring it back the same season.

      The crazy thing about football is it’s a team sport. But one position can make or break the game. And one of the best ways in doing that is by not giving the ball away and being able to run at 4-5 yard clips. Throw in a couple passes and next thing you know you’re in the red zone. Playing this way limits possessions to other(more dynamic) QBs too. And if your defense plays well that could equate to between 4 and six series. If you’re running that efficient, you can say, split the offensive production with the run or the pass. So by attempt byce accounted for his half of the yardage and Rico did too. Rico also managed to punch it in at the goal line. And you gotta give it to our oline and they’re running blocking and that’s without TMO! so the truth is, Canales and management figured out how to use Bryce’s strengths to compliment this run game to cover up his weaknesses in a way that is efficient. And our defense showed improvement against pretty formidable opponent the week after andy dalton gave it to buffalo. They are putting winning football on the field more often, and we are slowly becoming better each week. I hope they can keep it up.
