He also has a pretty damn outstanding set of tools. He's long, quick, fluid; really does have most anything you could ask for from a potentially dynamic DE. He doesn't have the functional strength that a monster like Garrett has, but he has a LOT going from him physically. Look at what Cullen did with Danna and ask yourself what he could do for someone with the skills of Brian Burns.
I just ain't giving up a 1st rounder for the right to give another defensive player $25+ million/season.
Been there, done that, have the scars to prove it.
I mean your cap structure with Burns would have to be SO lean. It'd be almost pure stars/scrubs. The pressure that puts on every single draft would be immense.
You're talking about probably
half your salary cap going into Mahomes, Jones, Burns and Kelce. HALF. In 4 guys.
That risk is just enormous. If you do that and he
doesn't become a Micah Parson's sort of player, you're really up shit's creek because you're going to be cutting corners all over your roster to make it happen.
You're just betting way too much on the come with the kid.
