And just for S&G's since I'm thinking about it, here are the nine players selected before Mahomes in 2017

1) Myles Garret - DE - Cleveland (made sense at the time, I suppose)
2) Mitchell Trubisky - QB - Chicago ( )
3) Solomon Thomas - DE - San Fran (???)
4) Leonard Fournette - RB - JAZ ( )
5) Corey Davis - WR - Tennessee ( )
6) Jamal Adams - S - NYJ ( )
7) Mike Williams - WR - Chargers (solid player and a pain in our ass, but a better pick than Mahomes?)
8) Christian McCafferey - RB - Carolina (fantastic player, but not Mahomes-level good)
9) John Ross - WR - Cincinnati (sweet Jesus )

Adams isn't that bad of a pick. Hes top 3 of all these names. He's been a 1st team AP and 2 time 2nd team AP.

Ok, that's fair. Him being a head case and getting traded lost him some points, but you're right he's a rock at safety.

Here's a fun fact I learned looking him up - his first career interception came against the Lions in '18.....against Matt Cassel. Don't know what's more shocking, that it was against Cassel or that Cassel was still in the league in 2018!

The fact that Cassel was still in the league in 2018 is pretty ****ed lol. The fact that he has the opportunity to throw an int is even more ****ed, cuz no way should he be playing 6 years after his nightmare with the Chiefs was over.

Adams was involved in the most lopsided trade of the last 5 years (non-WalRuss division).

Definitionally he’s overrated.
