Re: 2017 Draft Thread -- because we have an unhealthy obsession
Jamal Adams is a top 10 player and maybe top 5. I don't see him as a CB in the NFL. Adams is smart in an Ed Reed kind of way. He just sees everything. It's actually similar to what we saw Weddle do last year only Adams is more physical. I don't even bring him up because I see no possible way for Adams to be close to #16. Fournette has a better chance of falling because of his position than Adams does.
If you want a LSU CB then the kid to look at is Tre'Davious White who could be there where we pick in round 2. White is a really good man to man cover guy who is a little light but one of those Corners who always seems to get a hand in to make the play. He's a great special teams player too. White would definitely be the punt returner and play defense. He could sneak into the bottom of the 1st round but that's the kind of player I'd trade up in round 2 to get.
LSU has an incredible recent history when it comes to secondary players. Only Morris Clayborne busted, like I said he would before that draft. Look at the success;
Patrick Peterson
Tyrann Mathieu
Jalen Mills
Jalen Collins
Eric Reid
Ron Brooks was pretty good for the Bills
That's a good amount of talent for NFL secondaries. Adams is going to be right there with the top guys. White has a shot at it. He could be awesome lining up in the slot and I could see that being a real specialty. White we at least have a chance to get but it would take some huge surprise negative medical condition for Adams to drop to 16

Re: 2017 Draft Thread -- because we have an unhealthy obsession
Thanks for the insight. It appears i was out of the loop and thought he was more in that 10-15 range than 5-10 range. I saw he said that he felt he should be the first pick, but i thought it was a story only because it wasnt really possible. my mistake.
I wasnt trying to imply Adams was a corner, only if the team would value top S over 2nd or 3rd CB on their board. My guess, theyd take the S at that point. Now hearing that hes likely a top 10 not top 15, that seems even more set in stone. That said, your option in the 2nd sounds like a quality addition as well.-JAB

This franchise is circling the toilet bowl of mediocrity waiting to be flushed.

I'm holding on to whatever sliver of hope there is regarding Adams making it to #16.

Re: 2017 Draft Thread -- because we have an unhealthy obsession
I'm more interested in a Q type guy. So I guess I shouldnt say "Slot receiver", but I see Wallace and Perriman as the outside guys. I'd like a guy to play the Smith role. The guy who is sure handed, tough, etc. That being said if it's a short shifty guy (ala Ryan Switzer) I would be good with that. Imagine the speed in that offense...wuh
