The New York Jets doubled-down on safety in the NFL Draft, selecting Jamal Adams and Marcus Maye in the first two rounds. It was a surprising move for a team with so many holes on the roster, particularly with a capable starter in Calvin Pryor already in the mix.
It was a clear message to Pryor, who’s been a bit of a bust after being a first-round pick in 2014. And on Thursday, the Jets traded him to the Browns for linebacker Demario Davis, who previously spent time in New York.
Pryor started 15 games for the Jets last season, making 60 tackles with six passes defensed and one forced fumble.
