It's an awesome pick. And I think Adams can be a guy that turns around the work ethic issues in the NFL. He loves the game. Perhaps he just needs to mature and all of the sudden NYG has a dangerous 2 way threat.
From what I've seen, developmental TE at this point
but more developed than Adrien Robinson was when he was drafted. Fastest TE at the combine with almost big WR speed, which fits into McAdoo's philosophy of getting a hybrid TE/WR . Basketball player who converted to TE. Incredible leaper but needs to learn how to high-point the football better Only allowed 1 QB pressure in 95 attempts as a blocker.
Hands are not ideal for a TE. Needs to improve a little on football intelligence but is very coachable and grew dramatically at the position as he transitioned away from being a basketball player. Still lacks a little fluidity when running in pads even though he is extremely fast.
This isn't Adrien Robinson. He's got TE1 potential but will probably need most of the year to develop
and injury issues. He was in a run heavy offense but they thought he was athletic enough to develop into a solid receiver. And, he was in the old offense - not McAdoo's.
Adams missed summer school class and was suspended for practice
by Spurrier. Big whoop. School's not for everyone. Obviously intelligence counts for something but I think he can far make up for it with his physical abilities. He has starting potential and like I said earlier, I can see him being the starting TE week one.
i wasn't making a comparison, just pointing out that you have to be somewhat intelligent to get on the field. Also not trying to say anything about ADams other than relate it to the wonderlic and what espn intimated
"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.
New Giants TE Jerell Adams says getting drafted by the Giants is "a dream come true.''
Seriously?

Seriously?
Seems like an instant upgrade over Donnell.

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