Gonna probably need to dump the GM to increase your odds of hitting a Brian Burns. Even with the world's best evaluators, it's an inexact science. I'm not a proponent of giving away something guaranteed for the chance at something as good as what was being given away.

Then you have to learn how to spend your CAP wisely. It’s a two edged sword, I get both sides.

Tell that to Philadelphia. 

I don’t follow. Did they trade their best D player for a 2025 1st rounder?

nah they got one for cheaper in FA

 

Would you trade Burns if it was guaranteed you would have back to back top 10 picks?

So they got really lucky?

No, because our depth is trash and that would guarantee us 1-2 terrible seasons until we claim those picks.

I WOULD have traded him for 2 first rounders and a 2nd this past draft though.

LA offered a 2024 and a 2025 1st. It wasn’t for this past draft.

To do what with those picks? Hopefully draft a Brian Burns?

well, we have a rookie QB we need to build around.  Just bandaids on the roster.  You could spend a first round pick on a freak skill player…..a first round pick on a freak pass rusher.  Both on rookie deals.

or you use those pick and alter the Bryce Young trade.  DJ Moore is still a Panther and you still got ammo for the draft

or use those picks to move in drafts/trades and whatever Mr. In On Every Deal could find.

all sorts of stuff you could do

Or, you get two Everette Browns. 

When people make this argument they forget about the cap space.  You don’t have to replace Burns production with the draft picks. Maybe you use the $25m you save to replace his production and then you use the draft picks to hopefully improve two other  positions.  
Maybe you get a player for $10m that gives you 80% of Burns and then use the extra $15m to drastically improve a different position. 

Personnel moves don’t happen in a vacuum.
