Scenario:
philly takes milliner #3, derelle revis is healthy... Does Detroit trade #5 to the jets.for revis?
He is easily.the beat cover corner when healthy and Detroit was very close in a lot.of.its games... Pull the trigger or no? |

Financially we can't afford. I would love a player of his caliber but it would cripple our cap. I don't see a CB going ahead of us, and I am not sold on Milliner anyways. Plenty of options at 5, preferably a trade down.

There is no way we could keep Revis happy salary-wise.

Any player that would be good value at 5 would likely cripple our cap, we should just take Werner and enjoy elite production for years to come

I know that Philly doesn't have as much strength in the secondary as people seem to think they do, but I would be willing to bet a whole lot that they won't be taking a corner in the first. It's not even close to their biggest need, and it won't be even close to the BPA. If they take Mil at #3, we have a better player available at 5. Likely on the O-line.

I'd be extremely distraught if Philly took DeMarcus one selection ahead of us.

Seriously though... You really, really have to think there is a better fit for their personnel at #3.

Not really. It wouldn't be much different than us selecting either Werner or Moore. Their secondary stunk, and there's a lot of money being spent there with not enough return. Doesn't that sound like our DL?

With an exception... We overpaid short-term from this year on, they overpayed long term from this point on. I don't think you build the secondary first, especially with a new HC coming in, and they have bigger holes.

They've got Cullen Jenkins and Fletcher Cox in the interior, with Brandon Graham and Trent Cole on the outside- so with DeMeco Ryans at MLB, I'd hardly call drafting Milliner building from the secondary.
Safety is actually their greatest need on that defense, just like here in Detroit. But with so much money tied up at corner, it would make sense to cut ties with Scrabble, retain DRC, and then draft Milliner along with a top safety in the 2nd.
Offensively, they could look to the F/A market.

Their offensive line is basically in shambles right now. They have an offensive HC coming in that will inevitably force some of his scheme onto the offense. They're picking #3, and though there isn't a QB worth it, there will be an offensive player they NEED at that point.
Picking a corner over building either side of the trenches is exactly what i mean by building the secondary before the inside, regardless of how talented they are on one side vs. the other. I wouldn't even be surprised if they reached for Geno early. I would be extremely surprised if they went with Mil, even if they cut Scrabble. Maybe especially if they cut Scrabble. That would be borderline lunacy.
Again, I know their secondary isn't great.... but they have much, much worse holes.

At any rate, I think we basically have the same argument but are going in different directions with it... Essentially, it doesn't matter who the names they put out there are, what matters is who actually performs. Their O-line, secondary and QBs don't really perform despite the names they have there. They could go with Mil because their secondary was pretty much atrocious, but I think they start inside on the offense because A; it's more important in my estimation and B; because they're bringing in a new HC with a new offensive scheme. Kelly is really good at adapting, but that's mostly on the offensive side. He actually runs kind of a power run system that's been adapted to speedsters at Oregon, so I personally expect him to build that before touching a secondary that really should be far better than it was last year.

But they still are most likely going to cut Scrabble. I think that was there plan the whole time because he is going to have a huge spike in pay this year and also, DRC is a FA. They also have Jason Peters coming back who is arguably their best player and if Joeckle goes number one (which he could if Alvert isnt tagged or resigned) then Milliner would probably be their smartest move on one of their biggest needs.

Shady was good enough to run 4.2 ypc without Peters in the lineup. Bringing Peters back in will boost that up to a 4.5 at least.
There is honestly nobody I can think that they would draft outside of Milliner besides Joeckle if he's there or Warmack. I cant see him drafting a QB right now. I bet he's going to ride with Vick. He's his kind of QB.

If you were the Jets would you trade Revis for the 5thweekend pick in the draft? I wouldn't. It would take a lot more, and as Sllim already mentioned... it would be near impossible to afford him.
