Rich Cimini breaks down the New York Jets' 2017 draft class.

My take: This is an excellent pick for the Jets, who desperately needed a safety. Adams -- whose father, George, was a first-round pick of the New York Giants in 1985 -- was regarded as one of the best players in the draft; the Jets never thought he’d fall to them at No. 6. In fact, they told him that on a recent visit to the team’s facility. Sometimes you get lucky. This is similar to what happened in 2015, when defensive end Leonard Williams unexpectedly fell to them at sixth overall.
