The Seattle Seahawks have traded for Jamaal Adams

[steelerssb]

And Minkah was had for half of that

Safety is pretty important, that’s run defense and pass defense over the top... But I’m not happy giving up 2 first round picks, Jesus, plus the jets get a very talented Safety right back ... Not sure wtf Pete and John are doing here ... I guess they figured it’s gonna be bottom 1st rounders almost second rounders, also they must really fricking like Jamaal ... Man

Its just too much. Itd be different if Adams were going to play under his rookie deal the next 2 years but i doubt that

Awful trade for Seattle. 2 first rounders and now you have to overpay a guy who plays one of the least important positions on the field

A safety as good as Adams is plenty damn valuable, actually. Multi-dimensional pieces are actually pretty good! This is not 1982. Still a shitty trade from the Seahawks' perspective though.

 

[Tapey]

I’m fine with the trade tbh, I mean I’d much rather have Adams then whoever the Seahawks were going to draft in the first round anyways

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Yeah. Kind of think it reveals how unreasonable the Seahawks look. Jets probably couldn't believe someone offered that much.

Let's put this in context here...

It's not like Seattle would be hitting on those firsts anyways. So let's just use them on a Talented Safety who brings something that we have been Dearly missing since BAM BAM KAM retired.

If they get a Superbowl out of it, fine, but is Adams clearly the piece that puts them over the top?

That defense had a LOT of issues last year.

Get off the meth.

Possibly the best safety in the league at only 24 years old. We have seen how great the Pete Carroll Seattle defense can be when he has great safety play. Meanwhile Seattle is a perennial playoff team so those pics while good in number are still going to be at the back end of the those rounds.

Again. Perspective....

Seattle's last Big hit in the 1st round was 2010 in Earl Thomas.

 

[handicappers]

Wow.


Great move for Seattle. I think the win that division and possibly the #1 seed. Seahawks - Chiefs SB could be fun.

wanna bet?

That's not necessarily how probability works though.

I don't know but it IS A BIG help. I think that we lack rush but Everything else is fixed.

He is a solid safety but Seattle gave away the farm for that guy.

Defensive coordinator being the biggest issue...

The Jets have to be overjoyed with the haul they got.

No but it is just Fact.

Remember before I chose Political Science as a "Major" I was bouncing around the science department.

Yeah, if they end paying him what he wants in addition to giving up the firsts, it will just be him, Wilson and a collection of stiffs in three years.

But that’s 2 first rounders ... That’s a little scary, you’re putting a lot of stock in on Jamaal... He’s an upgrade no doubt, but he’s 1 piece, We just lost McDougald, who’s talented, so we basically upgraded from McDougald and gave up a lot... Risky move that could pay off, but we’ll see ...

Name the last big name player that the Seahawks got in the first round?

I'll wait. Not like those picks were going to make a difference....

Yeah, it’s a risk reward type thing... Pete loves good safety play, and he’s showing just how much...

It ain't like were hitting on talent in the 1st round lately, granted one is in waiting, so why not use it to better the team????
