Who wants Adams?
According to PFN’s 2020 NFL Mock Draft simulator, these are the teams with a need at safety in order of greatest need to least need:
Tier 1
-Philadelphia Eagles
-Arizona Cardinals
Tier 2
-Dallas Cowboys
-Minnesota Vikings
-Seattle Seahawks
-New York Giants
-Pittsburgh Steelers
-Miami Dolphins
Tier 3
-Houston Texans
-Las Vegas Raiders
Maybe the worst thing for the Jets in all of this is that they can’t take advantage of the Miami Dolphins and their bounty of draft picks. Obviously they are division rivals and the Jets won’t let Miami get even better with this bad decision.
Also, I would assume that there is no way that the Pittsburgh Steelers trade for a safety after the move for Minkah Fitzpatrick. Defense is import to them, but they have other positions they need to address and no first round pick.
Speaking of no first round picks, the Houston Texans will also probably take themselves out of this race. Part of that is because they don’t have a first, but the other part is because I think Bill O’Brien is too busy trying to trade J.J. Watt for a conditional 7th round pick to make any calls for other players.
The Arizona Cardinals don’t have a 2nd round pick and the Raiders don’t have a 2nd round pick and with their two 1st round picks are in the top-19 which just feels too rich.
Dallas has the 17th and 51st pick which feel too rich and too far away, so without making a complicated trade I don’t see this happening.
So what offers make the most sense for the Jets?
