He is really coming on strong. Great tape, weight room numbers, quickness...he may not make round one but he will never be there when we pick in the third
For just pick #17 I absolutely do it. The combination of it being a huge weakness of ours and him being not only good, but fantastic and a playmaker on the back end makes it an easy call for me. Now once you start getting into adding more as a sweetener (like a 2nd or 3rd) like what the Jets seem to want is where I start to back out. I'd go as high as a 1st and a 4th. I saw one scenario with a first and swapping our 2nd with their 3rd (I think 51 for 68) and even that was a little too much for me.
Without a doubt. Even with a top prospect, there is always a risk of a bust. Not so with Adams. He is an awesome football player and would make the rest of the draft gravy
Cap wise I'd be leery of it. I guess if you go all in to win now and hope it pans out, but you have to work within the cap.
I'd like to see an OT in this draft....also, don't think McKinney makes it to 82
I don't see McKinney making it too Dallas in the 2nd much less the 3rd, but if we could pull Kinlaw, Diggs and McKinney I'm sold.
I guess when someone puts one of my 1st round targets as a 3rd rounder I'd have to say I like it too
Lots of fans seem to like the idea. I dont know what to think. I remember the last time we had a top safety and the last one was Darren Woodson. Woodson was a difference maker. Too me it's like Jerry forgot that a great safety could help you win championships. If it is too pricey to get Adam's I hope we get Delpit or Winfield Jr. In this draft
This draft could do wonders for the defense. I do think Kinlaw could be there at 17 because of the unknown with his injury issues. I do think Diggs and McKinney are long gone before 51. McKinney does seem to be good at lots of things , but he is not a "wow" type player. A solid player though. Diggs I dont know about. Diggs is one of those that could be boom or bust material.I guess when someone puts one of my 1st round targets as a 3rd rounder I'd have to say I like it too
I agree a 1st and 4th. We cant give up a 2nd or 3rd as part of the deal. The way I see it the Jets have less leverage than last year.
I definitely agree on the potential and I think it's a pretty safe bet he can contribute on passing downs year 1 even if he never becomes a star. Is he going to be able to play DE every down is my question or will he get swallowed up by good LTs in the running game. At #17 I want a 7-10 year starter and I can't figure out what to make of him. I would be happy if we pick him and wouldn't think he'd bust or anything, but I just wish I felt a little more comfortable with him. I also think I am being overly critical because I really feel like he is going to be our pick and like you pointed out, if he is as dynamic a pass rusher as his potential says, how in the world is he dropping to 17...
