you're also trading alan branch for whoever is left at 25, who won't be nearly as good in all likelyhood.

I definately agree that trading Betts AND the 6th overall pick for Vilma and the Jets 1st rounder isn't a good deal. But swapping a backup RB and say a 2nd rounder next year for a starting, Pro Bowl MLB sounds like a good deal.
As much as I love Betts, I guess I still haven't totally forgiven him for numerous injury-plagued seasons and his fumbles at critical moments in games last season.
