Magellan got undoubtedly caught off-guard from BB and (especially) Shiliew, both with means to disable/neutralize his abilities.

As for the Admiral comparison, no he isn't as powerful as them for 2 simple reasons:


 * He lacks the logia intangibility. Even the worst logia is superior to anyone who lacks either haki or seastone equipment.
 * Each admiral is not only a logia, but a high level haki user. Nothing is known about Magellan, but unless it is stated we have to assume he doesn't have the ability.

If we rate an admiral with 9 of 10 points, Magellan would be a good 7.
