Jets tried to trade for Betts

Yeah a Vilma for the 1st would be solid. We need line help but the risk of a bust DLineman is far outweighed by the sure thing of a very good LB. I doubt the Jets would make that trade though.

Yeah, I doubt they would either. No more Terry Bradway up there to kick around! As you said, any draft pick is a potential bust.. in my mind using the pick on a young proven guy like Vilma where you know what you're getting is not a bad move. He's only 25 yrs old. (well, 26 next month.)
That is one thing that I have not minded about our heavy handed approach to free agency lately, going after younger players.
