Depends on what you mean by underperforming.

Are they still a ball hawking impact safety? Maybe not. But are they extremely intelligent and can at least make the right reads and make throws harder on the QB? That's good enough for me. Our system isn't super demanding of safeties.

There's 9. However there is some late round potential gems like Kenny Logan Jr Kansas, Sione Vaki Utah, and Tray Taylor Air Force that are intriguing.

Of course it depends on the type of defense a specific team is running for certain ones etc. but to say the draft is short on talent is very lazy by someone.

And don't forget there is an elite safety talent with DeJean if a teams wants to play him there. He would be Pro Bowl level safety IMO.

Great point and exactly what I've been saying. You CANNOT consider trading a 1st for Burns with his production and his contract asks. Just doesn't add up.

But is it really though?

After Montez Sweat who is 2 years older and has fewer sacks in more seasons playing on a line with other 1st rounders was traded for a 2nd rounder and got a huge new contract.

Josina Anderson is really on this Burns story though. I wonder which side is using her.

Sweat didn't have a 24m salary when he was traded, his cap hit was 4.7m. He's barely making more then 24m right now on a long term deal. Also, he was significantly more productive then Burns last year.

It doesn't matter what his salary cap hit was in the middle of 2023. He was set to become a free agent and got paid. If the Rams deal for Burns he's going to get a new deal too. And it's doubtful it will have a $24 million cap number the first couple of seasons at least.

Sweat is also two years older than Burns.

He may have had a better season last year, but they were in the same draft class and Burns has better career numbers. And this with Sweat playing on a DLine full of other 1st round talents for opposing offenses to consider before he was dealt.

And again, last year Burns situation simply wasn't conducive to him putting up similar numbers. Teams weren't threatened by the Panthers offense. If I'm not mistaken their defense had the fewest passing attempts against them in the entire NFL.

In my opinion, a player of that age and experience should not be ‘talked into’ something by an agent who’s only priority is $; or, by his ‘Daddy’.

Fair points though I still die on the hill of not giving up a 1st for him, particularly with the rumors of his contract demands. He is nowhere near as impactful as Bosa but asking for 30m/year. I'm hoping we are out on that.
