Official 2017 2nd Round Of The NFL Draft Thread

[Badgerinmaine]

NFL.com on Adams:

OVERVIEW
The former national top-five defensive tackle high school recruit reached his potential in 2016, earning second-team all-conference honors (8.5 TFL, 4.5 sacks). Adams was a three-year starter after contributing as a true freshman (20 tackles, sack), lining up with the ones in 2014 (8.0 TFL, three sacks, INT) and earning third-team All-SEC honors as a junior (three TFL, 2.5 sacks).
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Low out of his stance and with good explosiveness. Springs into gaps to stress guards and split double teams. Usually first into neutral zone. Disruptive when working the gaps. Burly lower half with good thickness through his hips and thighs. Powerful leg drive pushes him through blocker's shoulder and into the backfield. Motor seemed to be revved more consistently in 2016 than in 2015. Pursues from backside with hustle. Has some bull rush potential if he keeps pads low.
WEAKNESSES Strikes head first with eyes down losing sight of the play. Doesn't utilize hands well enough to keep himself clean. Needs to improve punch and extension to add value as a two-gap tackle. Sticks on blocks and labors to disengage. Short stepper with limited lateral effectiveness as pass rusher. Active as rusher but fails to stress the edge often enough. Has carried label as underachiever at times. Has talent but needs to more consistently play to it.
DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 2-3
NFL COMPARISON Jay Bromley
BOTTOM LINE Adams disappointed the scouting community with a pedestrian junior season that lacked passion and production. This season, he played with greater consistency of effort and found his way into the backfield far more often. Can be disruptive off the snap but is not the type of player to recover quickly if beaten early in the rep. He is a rotational defensive tackle for gap-attack defenses, but is unlikely to offer much as a pass rusher.

What's Gabe Kaplan doing up there on the stage?

BOOOOOO!!! (that's for you pb)

If I were there I would yell "Isn't he a Seahawk?"

But its Philly, I would need a bullhorn to be heard.

[Brandon494]

Shit...think Bucs going to get him

[pbmax]

that size and speed combination remind me of another 2nd round safety

Good to know the slow leak in your head has stopped. Was listening to draft in car and after description and college, I said:

Next Nick Collins!

Only a safety from UConn might allow for a closer parallel: Obi Melifonwu - S - Connecticut

[SMBASS]

Just hoping Samaje Perine falls to us tomorrow

+1 Brandon! Me too! The more I look into Perine the more I like him.

[woodbuck27]

With only three picks remaining in Round Three (3) He's still on the board.

56. Dorian Johnson, OL, Pittsburgh
58. Davon Godchaux, DT, LSU
59. Tedric Thompson, S, Colorado

64. Malachi Dupre, WR, LSU
65. Samaje Perine, RB, Oklahoma
70. Desmond King, CB, Iowa

74. Jordan Leggett, TE, Clemson
76. Josh Malone, WR, Tennessee
77. Carl Lawson, DE, Auburn
81. Brian Hill, RB, Wyoming

and there goes A RB... 91. James Conner, RB, Pittsburgh to the Steelers. That leaves two final picks in Round Three.

Now we are down to one last pick in Round Three by Tampa Bay and they won't pick a RB here.

[SMBASS]

Perine still available for tomorrow...

Gut feeling for me. Like the King pick. Okay with the Jones pick. Don't really like the Adams pick. Athletic, but underachieving DL with high pad level seldom seem to work out. I'm leaning towards the Oklahoma RB next.

[Brandon494]

Nice...still hope

[Bretsky]

So is Carl Lawson, who wouldn't be bad

[Maxie the Taxi]

I have high hopes for Cousin Montravius!

[woodbuck27]

Perine still available for tomorrow...

I didn't like TT's pick in Rd. 3. That looked to me to be a hope and a prayer pick. Maybe TT liked his speed? The Packers need more NOWS and not three years down the road.

I'm on the Samaje Perine bandwagon. The Packers do need a real RB.

After the trade King had to be the pick
I'm ok with Jones but I'd have preferred 3-5 guys over him
TIme will tell with Adams. Seems like he has immense talent but is lazy. Probably not the type of guy I'd draft

He's not Khyri Thornton...Right?

[woodbuck27]

So is Carl Lawson, who wouldn't be bad

77. Carl Lawson, DE, Auburn

[beveaux1]

Carl Lawson could be today's Justin Harrell. Bad medical concerns.
