Do not discount the possibility that the Jags trade their Rd 1 pick to the Jets for Muhammed Wilkerson.

 

First off there is a Jets connection in the Jags front office in the person of former Jets GM John Idzik who drafted Wilkerson while with the Jets.

 

Second the Jets are in salary cap trouble and just can't afford to pay Wilkerson and they are not going to let him walk without getting something in return for him.

 

Over the past four years Wilkerson, who will turn 26 in October, has 24.5 Sacks and 238 Total tackles, which are incredible numbers for a 3-4 DE.

 

He truly is an elite talent, maybe not J.J. Watt good but potentially a double digit sack artist in the Jags defense.

 

Place him at LDE, next to Odrick, Marks and Fowler and the Jags have one of the best D-lines in all of football next to the Bills and Rams.

 

Coming to Florida, there is no state Income tax which means more money in his pocket and I think he could be signed for what the Bills paid Marcell Dareus which is 6 years - 108 Mil, averaging 18 Mil per season.

 

No other player in the Top 10 perhaps with the exception of Robert Nkemdiche of Ole Miss would have the kind of impact that Wilkerson might have.

 

The Jets have to deal him and they would like a Top 10 pick in return. If the Jags are picking between Picks 7 and 10, I think the Jags might pull the trigger on such a trade. Of course this trade would be made before the draft, probably during the Free Agent period.
