PHILADELPHIA (CBSNewYork) — Just like two years ago, the Jets had a highly touted defender fall to them at No. 6 in the NFL Draft.
Gang Green selected LSU safety Jamal Adams in the first round. The son of former Giants running back George Adams will immediately help a Jets secondary that struggled last season.
Adams was expected to go within the top three picks. In three seasons at LSU, he had five interceptions and 127 tackles and established himself as a terrific defender in both man and zone coverage along with solid skills in the run defense.
