this is my line of thinking as to why you make the deal
The Rams Side of the Equation
The Rams have their first-round draft pick for the first time in the Sean McVay era. But do they want it? Edge rusher is certainly a top priority on the Ram wishlist, but this year’s draft is lacking fool-proof game-wrecking pass rushers. Even if they pick the best edge rusher in the draft, it doesn’t guarantee that that player will turn into a bonafide starter. Trading for Burns would guarantee they have high-end talent at the position. The Rams have made this kind of bet in the past and, for the right price, they will do it again.
Waiting for free agency will only inflate the prices of Burns and other proven pass rushers. The Rams have plenty of money to spend next year, but they also have other big-priced fish to fry in free agency (Alaric Jackson, Jordan Fuller, Kevin Dotson, and Coleman Shelton). This kind of trade is the Rams best option.
