As far as Wilkerson - he ranks where in the conference? Unless he's top 5, he's a jag.

You realize Wilkerson was statistically the 2nd most effective 34 DE behind JJ Watt last year, in his 2nd year no less. Coples registered 5.5 sacks as a rookie which is exactly what tmany of the games best pass rushers did as rookies.

Defensive Ends: Cameron Wake (MIA), J.J. Watt (HST) and Muhammad Wilkerson (NYJ)
After much deliberation we just about found room for J.J. Watt on the team. After all he is on his way to the highest grade we’ve ever given out at any position. The Dolphins Wake has been one of the most consistent pass rushers in the league the past three years, and has added the sack numbers this year so that it isn’t just us who recognizes that. Rounding out the trio is Wilkerson, the brightest spot in a dismal year for the Jets. There aren’t many guys better at getting off blocks in the run game and making plays.
