Reese on Jerell Adams, says the TE is a "better blocker than receiver."

"Jerell Adams is a big kid who can really stretch the defense down the seam." - Jerry Reese
Love it  
Mdgiantsfan : 4/30/2016 4:19 pm : link
Love this pick...in my in depth you tube review😎 this guy looks like he could become as part of the passing game!
Wow  
Jay on the Island : 4/30/2016 4:20 pm : link
I am very impressed by his highlight video. He has excellent speed for a guy his size and he is difficult to take down. This could be a steal.
Adams was heavily rumored to go to the Packers  
dpinzow : 4/30/2016 4:21 pm : link
so McAdoo absolutely sees him as the type of TE that fits in the Packers offensive schemes he brought here
I don't know what  
Pork Chop : 4/30/2016 4:22 pm : link
"SEC Fall Honor Roll" is, but Adams made it twice. It doesn't sound like the kid's dumb. There's something that's an issue, if Kiper said he could be a first round pick and he made it to the 6th.

those highlights its obvious hes a big boy with a catch radius that needs its own zip code.
Guess he is smart:

Go figure. You can kick ass in school but do shitty on the Wonderlic.

I'm wondering about that, too.


Anyone who refers to an "honor roll" as an "honor role" scores even lower than he did on the Wonderlic.


Guilty as charged. I saw that after I posted it, and I felt so much shame.
Robinson  
BSIMatt : 4/30/2016 4:25 pm : link
Was a total measurables swing for the fence...and in the 4th round no less. This guy has probably even more upside due to his huge frame and wingspan...and has twice the college production of Robinson...and he is a 6th rounder.
the "stupid" reference  
bc4life : 4/30/2016 4:26 pm : link
seemed to be based on him needing a lot of reps to get it - but seeing as though he was a basketball star - he might have come to the game late or being a natural, things might have come to him very easy before college.

at least, he put on quality weight during two years in college so he did some work off the field
He has almost 35 inch arms  
BSIMatt : 4/30/2016 4:28 pm : link
...left tackle wingspan..and nearly 10 in hands...to go along with a 6-6 frame and the athleticism. For a 6th rounder there is a lot to get excited about.
So...

Ben McAdoo said TE Jerrell Adams an "explosive" tight end, who can really stretch the field.
I hope people  
Jay on the Island : 4/30/2016 4:29 pm : link
will be patient with Adams and not expect him to contribute immediately. He is very talented but he is also raw and will likely spend the first few weeks on the inactive list. Year two is when I expect him to make an impact.

Wonderlic is a BS test. It doesn't translate into on the field football ability. It may suggest some issues with comprehending an NFL playbook and that's it.

My credibility? I'm a psychologist and former psychometician - (means that I developed and implemented psycholological instruments in my work - I reviewed the Wonderlic, but never worked with it).

#Giants draft boss Marc Ross says Jerell Adams' blocking effort is notable. Route running and hands are raw.
From the highlights  
Jay on the Island : 4/30/2016 4:48 pm : link
Adams reminds me a little bit of Martellus Bennett but faster. Obviously Bennett was more polished and a better blocker coming out.

This might be my favorite pick of the draft.
Nice pick  
Mogli : 4/30/2016 4:50 pm : link
He looks natural turning and catching the ball across his body. If you can do that in college you can do it in the pros
I thought I saw him as second best TE

Milton : 4/30/2016 5:05 pm : link
Good size speed ratio and good length, slender but strong, willing blocker but not ideally built for the task, can catch the ball but is not the most natural hand-catcher.

That is carrying a 3.0+ GPA for two preceding semesters or 3 preceding quarters and his major was public heath. So not rocket science, but not basket weaving either.
I had JR taking Adams in the 4th  
Joe in CT : 4/30/2016 5:24 pm : link
round with my mock and sure while I was sitting and praying the Giants would pounce on a OT for our 6th round pick I was pretty annoyed it was another position taken, but once I did a double take and saw it was J Adams I had a huge smile on my face and was very happy with this pick, still a bit surprised he slid as far as he did but glad he is now part of the big blue family. He actually reminds he of Antonio Gate's light a bit and anything close to AG is going to eventually make our OFF quite dynamic.
Looks

it's a honored role to be on the honor roll.
Hopefully Adams will make us forget that Reese failed big time  
GeofromNJ : 4/30/2016 7:18 pm : link
letting Bennett walk. As for Robinson, I don't think he ever really wanted to play football. He liked the money, but not the game.
He'll have competition  
old man : 4/30/2016 7:24 pm : link
for the TE spot. If he slacks off, even if he out talents the others, he will not play,other than ST. He's gonna need to grow up fast.OR, Hell be a 6th cut in camp with a bad rep that precedes him.
If he grows up, and grasps his responsibility, Giants can have a dynamic O.

And Gil brandt and Phil Savage were openly questioning why Adams was still available, saying they thought he'd already have been selected. Interesting.


Were they drinking martinis? Not impressive oversight since this is what they do
another very good player  
msh : 4/30/2016 7:35 pm : link
i cant argue with the talent they drafted just think they had bigger needs at other positions they didnt address
with fells career probably ended after that mrsa last year they needed a TE but FA was loaded with guys they could have signed. proven commodities,safety as well there we several good candidates there that would freed up thier draft picks to fix depth at need areas in this draft

adams was a guy i liked the other was bryce williams both big 2 way giants type TE guys they have needed since robinson was a total bust and the injuries that ended jake ballard's career who could have been one of the best they had since bavaro had his career not been cut brutally short

no OL at all and they didnt select any DL at all where they probably needed some depth at both DE and DT particularly with the 1 year status of jpp i expected them to add some injury depth at least if not a high pick to potentially replace jpp should he leave or not be extended they do have odi and can probably fill depth there cheap enough along the DL but RT is still a huge newhouse shaped hole as it stands

even after drafting apple in the first round they still need another CB, hopefully they can sign powers to fix the depth, maybe they have an undrafted guy they feel will do a job but anyone in UDFA is likely a developmental guy at this point. they will need to probably re-sign mcbride as well but are an injury or two away from real trouble at CB unless they can fill those spots as long as DRC and jenkins stay healthy they have a very good starting trio as apple will start and see alot of time in the slot and nickel packages this year and could eventually replace one of the vets outside in a year or two

all 6 players will figure to start year 1 which is a very good haul but they really needed to fix the lines (both of them) and didnt they dont have enough cap space to sign a meaningful starter at CB,OT or OG plus thier draft picks there after what they spent in FA before the draft it was not getting returns from guys like brewer ,mccants ,austin, etc that lead them to need to spend big in FA this year as it was

they didnt trade nassib who is now in his contract year so they essentially lost those 2 picks as you remember they stated he would provide injury cover for eli or they would trade him for a future pick back and they did neither worse still they lost a pick to trade up as well that could have at least brought in a DT or OG they could have developed so im glad they didnt trade up at any point this draft at least

reese did a good job with the players he picked its a 2007 level draft where every pick will contribute and be good players in big blue but he has some work left to do to fix that OL before September. if that OL doesnt get the running attack going better this year then reese could be on a very hot seat,and another 6-10 season this year could have someone else drafting next off-season
Mel is one guy who is going to love this pick.  
SB 42 and 46 and ? : 4/30/2016 9:56 pm : link
Adams was Mel's top ranked TE at 46 overall, 8 players ahead of Hunter Henry.

I picked this guy in the 3rd Round of BBI's Mock Draft for the Packers. Did not expect him to fall like this. I liked what I read about him, and thought highly of him. The Giants getting him the 6th round is awesome. I hope he's everything I thought he could be.


I remember. I loved it too when you did. I wonder what made the kid drop though?
Pick with upside and physical tools...  
Torrag : 4/30/2016 11:31 pm : link
...hands aren't great but can get vertical and highpoint the ball up the seam...something Eli hasn't had to work with since Martellus. He has a chance to make it.

1) he is Gronkesque after the catch. Not QUITE as aggressive, but he gallops like a gazelle. Reminds me of Ben Watson in that regard.

2) He is WIDE the fuck open on virtually every reception! Like by five yards!!!

I just got really excited about a player I had never heard of before. If he can block like some of you are saying, he will remind of a cross btwn marvelous Bennet and Ben Watson....which could be lethal.

What a draft. Past three years we got some PLAYERS.

Always a good point. Ahmad Bradshaw fell and his was legal. If what Sy says is true, we stole one.

Hope he pans out.
This play is Brandon Jacobs-esque.
