The picks make the futures of both Calvin Pryor and Marcus Gilchrist a bit murky. Pryor was the Jets' first-rounder in 2014, but has dealt with injuries and inconsistency. Maccagnan, who recently declined to say as to whether the team would exercise the fifth-year option on Pryor, wouldn't dismiss the idea Friday night of the veteran safety remaining with the Jets through this season.
Even Maye acknowledged that he was surprised "a little bit" that New York drafted him.
New York traded down twice in the third round, first sending the No. 70 pick to Minnesota for the Vikings' third-rounder (No. 79) — taking Alabama wide receiver ArDarius Stewart in that spot — and a fifth-rounder (No. 160). The Jets also dealt the final pick of the draft's third round to Tampa Bay for the Buccaneers' fourth-rounder (No. 125) and sixth-rounder (No. 204).
"Yeah, everything is clear," he said. "I'll be ready to go."
Coming off a 5-11 season and in what appears to be a rebuilding mode, New York entered the draft with plenty of needs. Safety was one of them — and the Jets decided to double up at the position with their first two picks.
"When I'm out on the field,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, it feels like I'm 6-7, man," Stewart said. "I don't worry about that. It's not the size of the dog, it's the size of the bite in the dog."
That's what the Jets are hoping for, especially after forgoing other needs — cornerback, tight end, linebacker — to take another safety.
"I feel I can play both safety spots," Maye said. "I played in the slot, played a ton of special team all my years there (at Florida). I feel like I can do a lot on the field."
"I was just waiting for that call, and it was the Jets," Maye said. "To say that they picked (Adams) and I,Cheap Wholesale NFL Jerseys, I feel like we can do great together."
"It's not even fair that we're together," Adams wrote to Maye on Twitter . "Let's ride bro, welcome home!"
"There were some other players around him," general manager Mike Maccagnan said of Maye's spot on the Jets' draft board when they picked. "But we felt there was a bit of separation between him and the other players around him. We felt very good about this player."
Gilchrist, recognized as one of the team's defensive leaders, is coming off a serious knee injury and Maccagnan acknowledged that he "definitely" will start training camp on the physically unable to perform list.
Maye, who had five interceptions during his career with the Gators, had last season cut short after nine games because he broke his left arm against South Carolina. He said he's fully healed from that ailment and doesn't anticipate being limited in workouts this offseason.
"I feel like we'll do great," Maye said during a conference call. "He's a competitor, he's a great ballplayer. He has a lot of talent and being out there with a guy like that, he's just going to make you great as well."
