Today’s Pigskin wrote that Jerell Adams “should contribute right away“. Big Blue View suggested the Giants struck gold with their sixth round selection while 247Sports remarked that Big Blue has “a promising weapon” in the South Carolina Gamecocks tight end. ESPN’s Dan Graziano believes Adams will have a chance to compete.

Here’s what Goodbread had to say of Jerell:

"“86. TE Jerell Adams, New York Giants: The G-Men got the steal of the sixth round here in a lengthy, athletic pass-catcher whose blocking skills opened eyes at the Reese’s Senior Bowl.”"

All this hype and praise for Adams has many Giants fans wondering about the fate of Larry Donnell, who suffered a serious neck injury last season, but has been cleared to play.

With this ranking, it seems Goodbread believes teams would’ve been justified in picking Jerell in the third round. Landing him in the sixth is beyond a steal, it’s Fort Knox level theft.
