"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.
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.
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
...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.
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.
the Wonderlic. NFL.com highlight video stated that he was "SEC Honor Role" two times. I assume that's an academic honor.
What' the off-field issue? Sy's report that his own camp is down on him doesn't bode well, but it still seems like a solid, solid pick.
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).
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.
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.
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
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
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?
...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.
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.
It is the SEC and South Carolina to boot. If you can graduate kindergarten then you are likely to get a 3.0 there.
RE: Wow, watching his highlights, two things stand out
Reese on Jerell Adams, says the TE is a "better blocker than receiver."
New York Giants @Giants 2m2 minutes ago
"Jerell Adams is a big kid who can really stretch the defense down the seam." - Jerry Reese
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.

Ben McAdoo said TE Jerrell Adams an "explosive" tight end, who can really stretch the field.

"Jerell Adams has good speed down the middle of the field and is a big target." - Coach McAdoo

You should see some of my own very best typos.
Ross says Jerell Adams is he fastest tight end in the draft.
#Giants draft boss Marc Ross says Jerell Adams' blocking effort is notable. Route running and hands are raw.
This might be my favorite pick of the draft.
Ha! You weren't kidding. It looked like he was standing in the middle of the other team's huddle.
We have to get this kid on the field ASAP.

LOL.
Dam - he looks TALL ... and fast.
Hope he can make at least an effort to block.

it's a honored role to be on the honor roll.

Always a good point. Ahmad Bradshaw fell and his was legal. If what Sy says is true, we stole one.
Hope he pans out.
It takes 10 GA players to take down Adams - ( New Window )
