Vilma Trade and add Robertson

The Saints reportedly gave up a 2008 fourth-round pick and a conditional 2009 pick for Jonathan Vilma.

This makes a lot more sense. The Jets get the 2009 pick if Vilma hits playing time incentives and the Saints re-sign him. If that happened, they have to send back a 2009 fourth-round pick. The deal was originally reported as a conditional 2009 fourth, but the Jets will get a fairer deal

Jonathan Vilma

Most of the draft post have our 4th going to the Jets this year. So if Vilma signs and plays we will loose a 3rd in 2009 but will get our 4th back. If he does not play that set number of games and does not resign with us we loose nothing else. If he just resigns and does not meet the games played we loose another 4th in 2009. That is how I am reading it.

This part is good news. This is a good sign that saints are going to do everything to improve the defense so he will want to stay in NO.

Based on that I say go after Roberston and rework the Vilma trade. The Jets want the same kind of deal. A third for both players. thats is 360 points. Say we trade our second (41) worth 490 for both. That leaves us with 130 points to get from them. We get pick 99 in the fourth worth 104 and a 5th rounder in 2009 worth about 34 pts.

We get two players that were picked in the first round that do not work for them in a 34 defense and the jets get an addition second to help replace that loss. We can always try to recoup that second by trading down in the first. In order to get a second we would have to move down to the range of picks 17 or lower. The jets can recoup the loss of picks by trading down also.

I say take our lumps up front now and get both. Unless Vilma does not want Roberston at DT in front of him. Then this a total waste of time because he is the key player we want.
