Not even the Jets could botch that chip shot.
Similar to two years ago, when lineman Leonard Williams, the consensus top defensive player in the NFL Draft, fell into Gang Green’s lap in the same spot, general manager Mike Maccagnan had to be grinning from ear-to-ear Thursday night when he saw LSU safety Jamal Adams’ name still on the board when New York was on the clock to make the No. 6 overall pick.
To some (like ESPN’s Jon Gruden), Adams was a brighter prospect than No. 1 pick Myles Garrett, the defensive end chosen by the Browns.
