Since next year's draft picks are basically worth a drop in 1 round value, the Rams basically offered a second and a third rounder for Burns.

Exactly. What’s wild is that people can disagree with this in this thread regarding the Rams offer for Burns, but they would be furious if we traded something like our 2nd rounder this year, for just a 2nd rounder next year. 
 

They simultaneously think “a 1st is a 1st” and “a 1st this year is worth more than a 1st next year”, at the same time. 
 

Well which is it?

But we already have a trash ass pass rush?

1996 pass rush is the bar.

Need a threat opposite Burns we did have one briefly with Reddick and he's doing great with the talent they have in Philly.

Since we turned down 2 firsts, Burns & agent will bring that to the table when it's new contract time.

"I mean, you've already said I'm worth more than 2 firsts."

Glad we kept him though....for now.

I would say there is only a 80% chance we keep Burns and without the tag I would say it's 30%. I mean we might not know the whole story and Burns might have not wanted to be traded but if not oof that a big red mark for fit.

I’m not familiar with this. How so?

Pay close attention to the long-term posters who have disappeared recently and the common theme between them. The folks who can't keep TB topics in the TB aren't gonna make it.

I don't think LG is trying to scare you.

He's just talking about what the rules are.

I hate to say it but the more I think about this the more I think we should have pulled the trigger. Those picks could be top 5. If we somehow nail QB this offseason you are poised to take top flight talent or trade down every year and build a wealth of picks for years to come to continue to surround your young QB with young talent.....

 

Rams have dipped at the well one too many times and eventually the bill is coming due and they are going to be TERRIBLE

Their offensive line looks like ours last year. Burns likely wouldn't have made a huge impact on their season finish. I would have like to have both of those 1sts. Even if they weren't top 10 picks, which I believe they will be at least a top half in 24 and a top 10 in 25, you can still get some pretty high end talent at this picks. WR, LB, safety, center, DT can all be gotten mid to early 1st round and have an impact. Shoulda woulda coulda, we will see if it was worth it. If we do find out qb in the draft this year, having 2 1sts the next 2 years could have been really beneficial.

Ya know, initially I didn’t wanna do it. It would make the defense absolutely not dangerous on the edge. Might be discouraging to the rest of the team.

I’m also not necessarily patient or wanting to look forward to 2 and 3 drafts from now.

 

Those picks may be game changing by that time though. This Rams team shelf life is … short. I can see why Fitt didn’t take it from a selfish angle (thinks he may not be here for those picks). But the settled down me, really wants those picks. Who’s to say Burns even resigns with them? Pull an Aroldis Chapman and come on back with those shiny picks!

 

I feel like we missed our chances on a lottery ticket, lol.
