What do you guys think of this this trade and how much do you think we'd have to give up to acquire Charles.
Draft Day Trade: Jamaal Charles???

Go watch some film of Jamaal Charles running. Then, watch some of Morgan Burns highlights.
If these two guys were wearing the same uniforms it would be very hard to tell them apart. Not only are their running styles similar, but they are almost clones of each other as well. Same size, same speed, yada yada.
I would be very interested in seeing Burns converted to the running back position. He is too inconsistent to play CB in the NFL anyway. If the experiment fails, what the hay? You still have a dynamic special teamer.
A fifth round pick?

Probably at least a 2nd rounder

Tua time!
Trade for another guy coming off an acl? Would be so miami
Don't forget he'll be 30 this coming season. Age & injury status would call for some T-bum intrigue here.
Too bad Charles missed so much time. Last I checked, he still holds the NFL record for YPC.

Finding a diamond in the rough is pretty common with RBs. We picked Miller in the 4th, I'm sure we can do it again
He's had season ending knee injuries 2 out of the last 5 seasons (left acl in 2011, right acl in 2015), and between them, he had 895 touches in 46 games (19.5 touches per) on a frame not really built for punishment. Add to that he turns 30 this year, so you have to wonder how many quality years he has left....and that's if he even returns to form this year.
I can't see the asking price being low, so add that to the concerns above......my answer is no. We need every pick high level pick we can get in hopes of hitting on a few.

Absolutely LOVE Charles as a player, but the health & age are a big concern. The contract tho is actually not too bad, $5.3M in 2016 and $7M in 2017 with no guarantees. I would be willing to give up a 5th or later for him (I dont see KC doing it that though) and roll the dice. I think he would be a nice compliment to Ajayi.

KC ran him into the ground.

No way. 20yrs old, 7 seasons, 2 knee injuries....maybe a 5th at best. No idea if he will ever be the same player.

Wont matter who is running if we dont get OG help.
Not really at all. Charles only had 206 carries in 15 starts in 2014. Theyve been managing his use for a while now.
Charles top 3 highest use seasons he had 285, 259 and 230 att.
Ricky Williams top 3 seasons had him rushing 392, 383, 313 times.
