Was this to grade the addition of Burgess or the trade itself...because as far as the trade goes we did give up a lot for a guy with one year left of his contract. But as far as the addition I had concerns about the depth at OLB and pass rush was an obvious need. I went with the average of these two thoughts as a the trade goes I would say an even 5 and as for the addition I would say 7 he is good but for one year. so 6 it is.
Its really a poll based on your opinion of Burgess as an NFL pro and the trade mixed in together and what you think totals what number from 1-10
It is of course a poll based on nothing from Derrick yet in a Patriots uniform but this is more of what you THINK will transpire during the season from him...an educated guess into the future poll you might say
For example If you think he puts up only 3.5 sacks and is out for a few games with injury then you give probably give him a 5 or less,If you think he will be a monster sack machine for us then you give him a 9 or 10 and if you think he will be decent to very good but not spectacular then 6-8 seems about right
