I'd rather have Revis over the draft picks for sure. I mean getting guys like Elam and Escobar in exchange for the one of the best defensive players in football? That is not appealing at all. You say yourself that in 2014 we have plenty of cap room. I'd rather pay revis the 15 Million it will take and trade Cro and his 10 Million dollar salary. We still can get a 2nd rounder for Cro.
Another thing I want to point out is that Pace's dead money is there regardless of what he is resigned for. So in signing him for the "dead money", that doesn't mean that you used the dead money to get the player. The issue is completely separate. I'd bring him back for sure and 2.5 mill may be a reasonable price but it will still add 2.5million to the cap. The dead money is there and hits the cap regardless.
All this said for the most part I really like the draft you put together. I hate the drafts where people have us taking guards in the first two rounds. We need to grab the pass rusher or a franchise QB at 9 or move down.
