Jamal Adams trade speaks volumes about Jets', Seahawks' approaches to the NFL draft

Two NFL teams that have had shaky draft success in recent years completed a whopper of a trade this past weekend that involved a lot of draft picks.

The Seattle Seahawks, who haven’t drafted a Pro Bowler in the first round since John Schneider’s first season as general manager in 2010, shipped away the team’s next two first-round picks — plus a little more — for Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams.

The New York Jets, who have none of their first-round picks prior to 2018 still on the roster, now have some strong draft ammo the next two years.
