The cash equivalent value of the 80th pick (first pick in the 3rd round) is around $2.8 million. The Jets are going to pay Adams about $11 million this year and lose that $2.8 miilion pick value. If he plays well, it could go up into the second round raising the pick value. If the team plays well, it also lowers the Jets overall pick values when they are unlikely to make the playoffs anyway.
This is why the Jets are the Jets. I'm glad we didn't make that trade because it could have been even worse for us with all of money shuffling we'd have had to do it.
