Re: Draft Prospects
I would only add (and it may be in someone's previous post) that sometimes teams will interview/host a dude b/c they want to get a good feel of where another team may draft him. In the case of Adams, think CIN (likes bad boys), OAK (under Al Davis), JAC (perennial reachers) and XYZ (desperate for OL help).

Re: Draft Prospects
Anybody see the Bill Parcells special on ESPN last night? I thought it was awesome. Great insight

Re: Draft Prospects
Actually, Justin Houston is a really good comparison.
Super talented, was widely considered a borderline 1st/2nd round pick, and he slipped into the top of the 3rd round because the guy couldn't say NO before the combine.
It doesn't make him a bad person or a bad player. It just makes him a lot more risky. And as far as I'm concerned, Justin Houston was a HELL of a lot better of an OLB/DE than Mike Adams is a left tackle.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Draft Prospects
Loved his 7 rules for drafting a QB and the fact that he said stats or TDs don't come into the equation when evaluating a RB
Polian had some good insight also. If I find a link I'll post it here.

Re: Draft Prospects
Yeah, but Justin Houston had a very productive rookie season. He was a steal in the 3rd round. I still say Mike Adams is a first round pick. Athletic LTs that are 6'8" 330 lbs, who have played at major college programs are just too hard to come by.

Re: Draft Prospects
Anyone else find it ironic that Billick is doing a segment on the NFL channel on how to draft a QB? :grbac:

Re: Draft Prospects
Merge NFLN and ESPN for one weekend only.
Kick all the current and long-time analysts and hosts, and the BLONDES off the set.
Give me Eisen (he's a great "host" type of guy), Tom Jackson, Parcells, Polian, Casserly, Cosell, Mayock and Michael Irvin (he's actually pretty "personnel/locker room-smart" and it's apparent when he's not paired with any of his idiot contemporaries). That's my dream, draft coverage team.
Don't need humor.
Don't need hyperbole.
Don't need cute predictions.

Re: Draft Prospects
Another big difference in the the Smith and Adams cases, is the fact that since Adams failed the drug test at the combine, that counts as his first strike in the NFL's substance abuse program. That makes him one strike away from missing 4 games and 2 away from missing a season.

Re: Draft Prospects
In addition to all the insight, just like last year, I really liked to get a look at Parcells board. I don't know how much tape he watched or how he got his info, but there are enough variables on his board to show that he isn't afraid to show his own opinions.
Things I saw...
While he had the red flag next to his name, considering all the "he won't be drafted" talk, Parcells still had Burfict as a second round pick.
He also had Mychal Kendricks as a 4th rounder, Brian Quick as a 5th, Chase Minnefield as a 1st!, George Iloka as a 5th, Schea McClellan as a 5th, Zietler in the 1st and Cordy Glenn in the 2nd...along with many other interesting names and spots...
