One positive about the failed Jamal Adams trade

[darthseinfeld]

We were willing to part with at least a first round pick for him.

Odds are at some point NY is going to trade him, and we will likely be interested again.

The positive is that Jerry didn’t mortgage the farm to justify his puppet coach

We could of had a good safety at #60 this year.

My questions are:

how many years does it take for our supposedly “great” FO to come to the realization that Woods is average and Heath is below average and safety is a very very important position on defense?

how does this supposedly “great” FO not take a safety in rd 2 and takes trash Hill over the knee that were available?

So why not give Donovan Wilson a shot? Don't start him but let's see what he's got get him some snaps, they must be seeing something where they just don't trust him I just don't see how not playing him has enough upside?

An upside

I’m still trying to figure out why we haven’t tried Wilson that had 4 picks in the PS. What’s it’s going to hurt?

Garrett isnt risking his job on a rookie. Its pretty clear. Rod is retiring at year end. Garrett most likely wont be here next year. He is going out the way he wants to and no one can fault him. Its a shame its gone on this long.

We prob have a good safety in rookie Donovan Wilson, showed potential in pre season.

Who? Who is getting torched in KC every week? Just curious. Packers defense has been getting torched as well. Is it on everybody except Thornhill and savage?

yeah this offseason becomes to Dallas! Lol

Honestly, I don’t think Adams would have been enough to make this team a leading contender for the Super Bowl. This team has an outside shot, with 6-7 teams more likely to win the Super Bowl, whether Adams is here or not. In the circumstances, it made sense not to mortgage the future.

But, yeah, it’s good to know the team is willing to invest a first to improve the position if the right safety is available.

If we were talking a 1 and 3, I would have been good with it because Adams is probably here for 10 years

I agree. Sounds like we were talking at least 2 1s, however. That’s just too high a price to pay for a non-premium position player that doesn’t materially change your odds of winning it all.

 

[okstateCowboy]

Agree with OP. Adams will hold out next season and be right back on the trade block. This rumor won’t go away for a while

I think once they lose more contract control, the price will go down.

Adams is the new Earl Thomas lol

Arguably, our offer should go down too.

We have as good a shot as anyone. Gotta shore up the run defense though. Adding Bennett very least improves the pass rush.

This offseason could be a sweet spot. Depending on if NY budges. 2 years of contract control, for me I would do a 1st and 3rd.

Also we have have Woods and Wilson under contract next season. So we will probably be looking at Safeties in the draft either was. Possibly high
