It wouldn't. Mills was a total bust, even worse than Jones and Zappe. We would have needed to trade up at 15 regardless to get anybody worthwhile. The Jets jumped A LOT more teams than the Patriots to secure Vera-Tucker. Tucker isn't that good and had injury issues. And you are ignoring that to get Mills we need to get creative in the second. Either draft Mills with the Barmore pick or trade up and lose Stevenson. You aren't getting Mills without a sacrafice there.Blowing a 2nd round pick on Mills looks a ton better than blowing the #15 overall pick on Mac. I mentioned in the other thread, it explains why the Jets jumped us to 14 to pick Vera-Tucker thinking we’d take him. I suspect ultimately BB left to his own devises would have traded back to the 20s, picked up a 3rd, have selected Barmore with the 1st rounder and Mills with the 2nd. Who knows what he does with the extra 3rd and the pick he did trade to move up for Barmore.
