New York Jets Select Corner Back Dee Milliner In First Round

Found April 25, 2013 on FF Locker Room:
TEAMS: New York Jets
1.09 New York Jets Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama, (6-0, 201) The New Yorks Jets traded away Darrelle Revis prior to the draft, leaving the Jets with an obvious need at corner back. Pressure will be very high on Milliner to fill Revis’s shoes, but he could very well be the guy that can do it. Milliner is a guy that has the ability to stick with any receiver in this league man-to-man. He has very quick feet, coupled with solid athleticism and the habit of being physical off the line. Despite Milliner’s physical tendency on the line, his tackling technique is poor, commonly choosing to lunge, rather than stay on his feet and wrap up. He will be a liability in the second level against the more physical running backs and wide receivers.

Report: Jets Considering Releasing Mark Sanchez After Drafting Geno Smith

Via BlackSportsOnline  |  April 26, 2013
The economics of such a move would mean the Jets would be carrying a lot of dead money for a couple of years.
