Jets Trade Jamal Adams
-
Glad that wasn't us.. Yikes, that's a lot. Good player but not two firsts and a third good. McDougald was a UDFA so that's a weird throw-in.
Russell Wilson said he wanted them to add stars.. bet he would rather have a decent OL so they could beat the 49ers before he retires. The only time they won the SB, they had the best OL in football.

Yeaaaaaaah, naw. That 2013 Hawks line wasn't very good either.

Seattle blew it, unless this trade turns into at least one ring.

Looks like tia is right on that // Also, Outsiders take. Outsiders has the 2013 seattle OL dead-last in passpro.
The 2013 hawks OL is one of the reasons why we have the rookie wage scale.. Okung's 5th year [even on his rookie deal] was 11.25M
-
and all the jets had to do was promote Gregg Williams to head coach & JA might have stayed..They were good..
But once again... Adam Gase influences his GM to send Jarvis Landry & now Jamal Adams off to fail...
Soon.. someone won't be getting paid in Sea-Land and it ain't just Clowney... but Jamal Adams will..
and Pete Carrol can't coach forever..Strong bold move Hawks..

-
Hawks own blog analysis of their DL - TLDR: Hawks very bad last season, 2020 without Clowney means Adams will have zero passrush in front of him.
-
People forget the 2013 Hawks defense wasn't just the LOB. They had an outstanding front 7 that year as well. I'd put that group against some of the best of all time.

Versatile DB's are a big deal in today's NFL.

Interesting historical study -- Instead of "Defense wins championships" we really should reword that as "A historically good defense can, on occasion, overcome a mediocre offense to win a championship, while a historically good offense has even less of a chance to overcome a mediocre defense to win a championship."
Posted in 2 threads because this is important.. shouldn't be a huge shock that the entire team is important when winning a SB is the goal..

That's why I slightly leaned towards the 9ers in last year's SB (but was smart enough to not put $ on it): SF had the better D and a great rushing game. But KC had the best QB. Whoops.

For those saying how big of an overpay this is, i.e. have to win a SB (Not even saying it is or isn't), context needs to be added.
It really just comes down to the valuing of draft picks over proven players.
Without that context, saying 2 1sts is a lot. But when those are extremely likely to be late picks it adds some perspective. But to add even more, here are the draft picks of playoff teams who didn't win SB recently (some are from non playoff teams through trades).
2019: Darnell Savage, Andre Dillard, Tutus Howard, Josh Jacobs, Marquise Brown, Montez Sweat, Jonathan Abram, Jerry Tillery, LJ Collier, DeAndre Baker, Kaleb McGary, NKeal Harry
2018: Billy Price, Rahsaan Evans, Isaiah Wynn, DJ Moore, Hayden Hurst, Calvin Ridley, Rashard Penny, Terrell Edmunds, Taven Bryan, Mike Hughes, Sony Michel, Lamar Jackson
2017: Jarrad Davis, Charles Harris, Evan Engram, Gareon Conley, Jabrill Peppers, Tank McKinley, Tredavious White, Taco Charlton, David Njoku, TJ Watt, Reubens Foster, Ryan Ramczyk
2016: Will Fuller, Josh Doctson, Laquon Treadwell, William Jackson, Artie Burns, Paxton Lynch, Kenny Clark, Josh Garnett, Robert Nkemdiche, Vernon Butler, Germain Ifedi
2015: Cedric Ogbuehi, Bud Dupree, Shane Ray, DJ Humphries, Shaq Thompson, Breshad Perriman, Byron Jones, Laken Tomlinson, Phillip Dorsett, Damarious Randall, Stephone Anthony, Malcolm Brown.
4 Pro Bowlers out of 60 players.
But put it in perspective. Would you trade Peppers and Njoku for Adams?
My point is that when you just evaluate it as 2 1st round picks without the perspective of when those would likely be or who you more than likely would get with those picks it isn't as simple as SB or total overpay.

Perhaps, (haven't seen Peppers for a while). But I wouldn't trade 2 first round picks. (strange as that may sound)

No offense to you feeling that way, A LOT of people do. But to me that is overvaluing draft picks. Not like we are talking about top picks, but these lower 1sts are somewhat dependent on other teams as well.
But to me, you KNOW how Adams performs in the NFL, and is considered a Top 3 S, and it is less than 50% of 1st rounders Making an impact. This is my opinion that its crazy to value potential/dependent vs. Very High productivity at the NFL level.
Or look at it like this, right now would you rather have Baker Mayfield or Justin Fields?

The issue isn't as simple as overpay on one player or not.. The issue is that SEA is missing more than just one guy and needs picks to improve the talent level at multiple positions. Adams is a good player for sure, but through ridiculous GMsmanship they have less than replacement-level at all but one spot [Duane Brown] on both the DL and OL right now. [Fun fact: Seattle's 10th highest paid player against the 2020 cap is a kicker. Stay classy, Seattle.]
The delta is NOT just adams vs mcdougald. Looking at just one spot ignores the upgrades at the other positions that would/could be achieved with those picks.
At present they upgraded one spot BUT could have upgraded 3. Even average OL and DL at this point would be actual improvements for Seattle.
