Grade the Pick: LSU Safety Jamal Adams

[Sarge4Tide]

What grade do you give the Jets for their selection of LSU Safety Jamal Adams  with the 6th pick in the NFL Draft?

[Jetdawgg]

Best player available

Total fail. He plays strong safety. If you wanted to do that, for whatever reason, at least take the athlete from UCONN. This kid is Mark Barron 2.0. An in the box safety in 2017 because he's a leader or whatever just goes to show Bowles is a stooge and Maccagnan does what he asks.

Yeah he plays strong safety- like a beast

I'm pretty sure that this pick is either an awesome pick I could never dream he would be there when we picked, or the worst pick in the history of the draft and I'm never watching the Jets again.

Wow, you really don't know the game or player.

Lol 

[sourceworx]

Worst pick. 

[JoJoTownsell1]

Gave it an A. Would have been an A+ if we weren't desperate for offense. 

[Dunnie]

A+

Awesome pick!  Up there with Leonard Williams falling to us.  We have our leaders on the Dline and secondary now for many years to come.

Now hopefully the youth movement at LB the past couple years pays of a bit this season too.

We lucked out this guy fell to us.  Nicely done Macc n Bowles, I'm psyched!

Umm remember Vernon Gholston, the combine warrior.  This kid is a football player.

How does this team score points? Again, might be a very good safety, but so what. You can get a servicable one later, not so with key offense slots. This franchise continues to overvalue defense and against all the evidence pretend they can get offensive talent alter in the draft or off the street. 

[New York Mick]

As a pick B+ he's a good prospect at a position we need.

The combine is almost ******* useless. 

[Matt39]

Try naming 5 strong safeties

[jmat321]

F+ he will be a slight upgrade from Pryor

[Larz]

He checks all the boxes.

No injury issues, started every game the last 2 years.

No character issues, he is the guy who straightens out the knuckleheads.

Comes from an NFL player factory.

He can cover tackle and blitz. OK he has "that's why he's on defense" hands lol.

Very good pick (probably an A) but I'm still bummed we're not getting Mahomes.

On the bright side, the move was the best to improve the team, but still makes it very easy to tank the season if Hack isn't any good.

Absolutely genius pick.

[BigRy56]

A+, I think Jamal Adams is the best player in the draft and will prove it right away 

[sciond]

this the best guy we available now we just have to tank the season

But he DOES know Bowles is a stooge. That is about all I agree with in that post.

Grading the player and not the side of the ball I wanted the Jets to go, he's definitely an A+ talent in terms of the position he plays. 

Adams is a beast. 

With that said, we should have went offense. 

 

I will say that I'd rather have Adams at 6 than a TE at 6...so there's that. 

[dbatesman]

It's an F and it's not even a question. It's great that we drafted the leaderiest leader who ever leadered, but the guy's a ******* strong safety. We have non-NFL players at all the positions that matter, and we just stayed put at 6 in a deep draft to take a guy who doesn't score touchdowns, doesn't rush the passer, and can't cover. Maccagnan is a walking talking Peter Principle and the sooner his big stupid ass is out the door, the better.

Pretty sure Rex told Woody who to pick tbh.

This may be a great kid and a solid safety, yet when your team needs a QB you don't draft a safety and when a winning QB is sitting there for the taking.

He's the anti-Revis when it comes to heart soul and team first attitude.
