Vilma can fly away
 
Jonathan Vilma can fly away

The Jaguars and Saints are believed to be among the potential suitors. The Saints have made no secret of their desire to acquire a middle linebacker, as they've already made an offer to former Dolphin Zach Thomas. Former Jets defensive coordinator Donnie Henderson was recently hired by the Jaguars as an assistant, which explains their interest.

It's unclear what the Jets are seeking, but there's no doubt that Vilma's value took a hit because of major knee surgery last November. Vilma has started jogging and hopes to be running full speed in about a month, he wrote this week on his Web site. If he can show he's healthy before the April 26 draft, it will greatly enhance his stock. Sources believe the Jets could get a third-round pick, perhaps slightly higher, for a healthy Vilma.
Sounds like his rehab is going pretty good. If he comes full strenght I believe we should make a move for him. I would be fine with a 3rd. 3 & 4 I don't know, it hurts when you have to spend 2 potential draft picks to get one player.

Undersized and lame, but better than what we got.

I could go for that or the other way around with a 3 this year and a 4 the next. Losing two picks in one draft hurts a lot but one each year is ok. Hopefully that could be done which would help our LB corps a lot, if Vilmas is completely healthy. Then I would like to see a DT and a CB in the first and second round, not nessecarily in that order, I would love it if Glen Dorsey slid to us however.

Then an OT with the 3 or 4 depending on what we would give away this year with the Vilma trade. We also need a second CB, a S and a WR and another young QB if we can find someone worth it in the lower rounds (if Palko is gooed enough to be our no 2 guy).

He was the droy of the year idiot. When he was healthy he is better than everyone we have

I would go with a 3rd this year and a conditional next year. If he plays all year it would be a 4th, 12 games a 5th, 8 games a 6th and none for anything below that.

How about a conditional pick next year...if he plays all 16 games it could be as high as a 2nd rounder...if he gets hurt or if he just misses some time, it could be a 3rd or a 4th.

I love what this guy has done with his career. That season he had in 2005 was just incredible. The part I don't like is he may be an extremely high injury risk for the rest of his career. Check this out:


The part I want you guys to see is under the trivia category:

Vilma was diagnosed with osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) in high school, a bone defect that can cause instability and loose particles in the joint, and this is a possible cause behind his season-ending 2007 injury.

with a bad knee he is still better than any MLB we currently have.
