“well believe it or not, we actually had some good players. We thought you’d hate that though, so we got rid of them and figured you’d want to just hope for the best.”

It's already going to be an uphill climb to get anyone worth having. I don't see the logic behind gutting the team of any actual talent and considering that an enticement. I fear we're going to be here this time next year wondering WTF they were thinking. I hope the FO makes me eat those words but, I just don't think anyone there has a clue about running a football team.

So more picks is not better? Letting the new coach totally rebuild this team isn't better?

the team isn’t out to grind an axe against Matt rhule because they’re the Big Mad, they clearly view the defense as being more or less ready and will almost certainly look to build up the offensive side of the ball.

rebuilds don’t take 5 seasons.

What about a 1st (Saints), a 2nd, 4th and a 3rd and 5th the following year. Would you do it? I don't see anybody giving up 2 1st rounds (IMO). 

then you don’t do it.

as I noted, Jamal adams commanded two 1’s and change. Brian burns is a far more valuable asset than Jamal adams. 
 

the goal isn’t to have lots of draft picks, it’s to have good players at marquee positions

I'd trade him to the Eagles for both their 1sts this year, along with a 3rd and the Aints 2nd in 2024. Anything less I pass. Burns has his faults but elite young pass rushers are damn near impossible to find these days. Better to just keep building the front 7 around him if we get less than that.

You hope to hit on a 1st rounder and land a Burns-type. I don't see how trading helps when the pick could be for a less impactful player. 

 

Important to consider contract situation. Burns gonna get paid massively soon, and there is some debate whether his all around game will even be worth the contract he'll get. Aints pick could easily wind up being top 5 -- we could get QB at 1st overall along with an elite pass rusher prospect with that pick. Sure, not guaranteed to hit like Burns did but I'd take those chances for a cheaper player and then more picks being added too. Grab a WR/RB/TE with the Eagles' 1st and we could be sitting pretty.

    • We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.
    • I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning. 
    • He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
