If we packaged next years number 1 and Betts we might end up with a 1st rnd pick to go with our pick at 53. Then we could address both LB & CB in the 1st and 2nd.

Or if the Jets end up as the team we with the most interest we could wait until Rnd 2 @ 35 and only give up next years 2nd. I say again I would hate to see Betts go but I really feel we are going to lose him anyway next year. And between Rock, Lumsford, and Nemo we should be ok at the Back-up RB spot.

This scenario is not viable. Portis has a tendency to miss a few plays here and there and I would not feel good with Rock as the #2. He fumbles it too much. Betts has the talent to be a starter and he isn't bad running kicks back. RB is an area where you need quality depth.
