Sapp and Brooks were in ’95. So you had a span of ’95-’08 where their first rounders were names like Regan Upshaw, Marcus Jones, Reidel Anthony, Anthony McFarland, and Cadillac Williams as well as the ones I named previously. Definitely more busts than booms in their first round history, but Dominik does seem to have a much better draft strategy than his predecessors.

He’s a good player…but is never satisfied. A cancer to a team.

And I agree with the Keyshawn trade similarities.

” It’s not like the Bucs have the greatest history in the 1st round”

Mark Baron, Doug Martin, Gerald McCoy, Adrian Clayborn…and that is just THIS generation of players. The Bucs have a history of good and bad choices in the first round.

Sapp? Brooks? Etc.

Revis’ agents and Nuke want him in NY where the endorsement $ is. If Jets don’t trade him, he resign long term. WILL not become afree agent. Idzik playing it right.

Geting rid of Revis is the best thing the Jets could do for themselves. Maby if they didn’t have to deal with this dbags contract woes EVERY off season, they would have time to develop a position that matters. QB……

So there’s no way they are getting a 2013 first round pick for Revis. Why can’t Woody just admit he doesn’t know how to run an NFL football team?

Richard Sherman was very nearly a one-man wrecking crew in the Hawks final game with SF, this past season. His end zone pick virtually ended the Niner’s offensive game for the day.

Revis hasn’t gotten to where he is by not being a major contributing factor in the Jet’s games. If they haven’y won the majority of them, it’s not his doing. He can’t be held accountable for what the Jet’s offense does or doesn’t do.

The Hawks have two shutdown corners and they ARE highly valued by the team and the 12th man. (and hated by just about everyone else.)

Provided they don’t already have the 2014 1st overall pick.

A better question is why would the Jets blink? What kind of leverage do the Bucs have, exactly? Brent Grimes? LOL. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a stud, but he’s no Revis and if the Bucs don’t act quick, he’ll be playing in Florida, but not for them. Despite popular belief, the Jets are not quite exactly in cap hell, and again, contrary to popular belief, the Jets are 100% capable of re-signing Revis.

However, all (NYJ beat writer, mind you) indications say that Woody Johnson has no intention of doing so. After a few cuts (Santonio Holmes and Mark Sanchez) that are almost guaranteed to happen, the Jets will have upwards of 30 million in cap space in 2014. Assuming those two are gone in 2015, the Jets will have OVER 90 MILLION in cap space. The Mark Sanchez contract was awful, but honestly, just how bad do you think the Jets screwed themselves there? Not even close to as bad as the media would have you believe, for starters. So you see, the Jets are more than capable at getting a deal done- but only if they want to.

With that in mind, why trade Revis at all? What are the Bucs allegedly offering? A 2013 or ’14 first rounder, and possibly more. Now, let’s pretend you’re a GM. You’ve got a surefire Hall of Famer on your hands. His effect is so great that his presence on defense makes literally every single player on that defense better at their jobs. With Revis at CB, safety help can go to the #2 cornerback. Because the help over the top only went to the #2, the linebackers are free, and with the linebackers free, the D-Line has a substantially easier job. Why do you think the Jets defense has performed so well despite being a motley crew of mediocre talent and overachievers? I’ll give you a hint: Darrelle Revis.

Again, with all that in mind, why make a trade? Let’s say the Jets get three picks for Revis, that’s 3 picks that could end up being Vernon Gholstons, and with the subtraction of Revis, the whole defense plays much worse. We get 3 picks and 8 holes. The only reason the Bucs can offer such a low price and not get laughed away from the negotiation table is because Revis got hurt, but let’s be honest here, more and more athletes are coming back from ACL tears at 100%, and on top of that, only half of Revis’ value comes from his physique. Kind of like Peyton Manning, the other half of his greatness is his brain, responsible for his technique, work ethic, understanding of his role, ect.

Assuming he comes back from the ACL tear healthy, which is far from a stretch, the Bucs better actually get serious about getting Revis or get to work on Grimes, because the Jets lose absolutely nothing by letting this play out. The Jets have a year and a half to find a resolution. Why do you think Revis’ agents are so eager to resolve this quick? The longer this goes on, the better position the Jets F/O is in.

As I stated before, they were some pass defense away from 12-4.

But it won’t happen overnight or tomorrow. But why Revis, would ever think that it will happen anytime soon with the Bucs, is beyond me. In his interview with MikeRob, Revis talked about wanting to win it all. I believe he’d have a better chance of that happening during the next two years, if he were to stay put.

The Colts turned it completely around in one season, after a disastrous previous year. The Hawks went from 7-9, to 11-5, in a year. It “could” happen for the Jets, and no one can truthfully say otherwise. If you jump Revis, and the Jets do turn it around quickly, you’ll no doubt be happy on the beach, when you might be ecstatic hoisting the Lombardi.

Afterall Woody Johnson didn’t say he unwilling to sign him contract, but just hate his holdouts.. however this year he CANNOT hold out, due his “bandage” contract he signed; If he hold out any time, he will be added 1 year, I think probs about $5mil.. so Jets aren’t sweating at all.. its Bucs who should be sweating, afterall 49ers got whole alot of pickles(picks, if ya get my drift)…

This GM Izzy doing well and keep up the poker face!

It’s not like the Bucs have the greatest history in the 1st round(Gaines Adams*RIP*,Kenyatta Walker,Michael Clayton just to name a few), and they’re still in a good spot to get value with their 2nd rounder if there’s a good CB or DT prospect available. If that’s what it takes, I say roll the dice as the Bucs probably would have been a 12-4 team(Giants,1st Saints game,Redskins,Eagles and Dallas would have been wins) with ANYBODY that could have stopped a pass last year.

They better get what they can now for him, so the Bucs are actually sitting in a good spot as long as their owner doesn’t force Dominik into doing something more

He has speed, awareness, best hands, pressing stop, can tackle very well.. and ofc, he #1 best CB, and should had won Defense MVP instead of Woodson, which Woodson had more ints/fumble/and sack… than Revis when most team avoid throwing to Revis but still pass to Woodson… So… look on youtube on Revis highlight, and TELL ME IM WRONG! bec I aint.

They’ve already got 1 to spare and have a dire need for another cb that can line up against Megatron, BMarsh, and Jordy Nelson for 6/16 of their games a year.

Essentially they could end up trading Percy Harvin for Greg Jennings, Revis and a 3rd rounder next year. ALL WHILE KEEPING THEIR ORIGINAL 1st ROUND PICK THIS YEAR.

Some say Revis is overrated… I get that, but can anyone honestly say he wouldn’t be an upgrade on every roster in the NFL?
