I will preface this by saying that I really like AJ Brown both as a player and personality, but he has been massively overhyped the last 2 days by Titans fans.
I would say he's a legit top 7-8 WR in the league, and easily the best WR1 we've had since Mason, but that's mostly because we've had such bad luck at the position. His production is anything but irreplaceable, especially in this offense.
I don't expect Burks to just walk in the door and immediately do what AJB does, but his skillset is similar and I do like that pick. If we can get even 70% of the production from Burks that we were getting from Brown, I think the move was well worth it. I know he was a fan favorite, but that's a lot of money for a WR in a run-heavy offense.
I also still believe there was something behind the scenes that we'll likely never know about that crashed the talks between AJB and our FO. Pure speculation on my part though.
