Official Davente Adams Thread

[bobblehead]

I said it in the HaHa thread. This looks like Anquan Boldin, but more athletic. Hope it pans out that way. I still remember Boldin in the playoffs 2 years ago against the Patriots. Went up in the back of the endzone to grab the ball. 2 DB's HAMMER him. He comes down STANDING OVER THEM BOTH with the ball. He looks down and visibly laughs...then flexes.

At about the 50 second mark...they cut off the end though.

His numbers were inflated by the offense, but his highlights show good hands and catching contested passes or passes in traffic. He's competitive and shows some run after the catch. He wouldn't have had that kind of production if he wasn't any good. 24 TDs in a season! Playing in an up-tempo will help him if/when McCarthy wants to play that way.

As for the routes, GB QBs threw their share of quick hitches and bubble screens with Jones, so I think they'll start there with Adams.

The nice thing is they can bring him along slowly -- it's not like when they drafted Jennings and there wasn't as much at the WR spot.
Also, he's going to have to compete like crazy to get snaps. They'll put him as #4 but Myles White, Chris Harper, Kevin Dorsey, Abbrederis, and Janis are all going to push him for that spot, and someone will push Boykin for #3.

[Brandon494]

Boykin and Adams will share the #3 spot and I think Abbrederis locks up the #5 spot. The rest of the guys are PS material. I think Janis is going to need a year on the PS especially coming from a smaller school.

I had him at the bottom of that 2nd round glut of WR's... I had Moncrief, Latimer, Robinson, and Matthews all ahead of him - for various reasons.

I still see him as worthy of a 2nd round pick - I just see the negatives that all the write-ups talk about, whereas most of you guys only see the positives. I see the positives too... good hands, insane production, good size; but I discount the production b/c of their system - and the negatives a legimate concerns. If they weren't, he would have been the first WR off the board based on his production alone.

We need a comment on Adams from our correspondent in Fresno, MTP.

Very excited with this pick, only Carr would have been more interesting but Adams is the instant gratification pick. He will show what he has very soon. Fuck you Joemailman, he will make up for Culver.

Hes Michael Crabtree 2.0 without the diva attitude.

Bitch he can make catches while covered which is what he has to do in the NFL since hardly anyone just dust the DB on a regular basis. I wouldn't be surprise if he has a shit load of TDs in the redzome since no one else likes to grab then there. He will have your cracka ass cheering and saying you knew it along. Fucker!

[Brandon494]

Yup his basketball background is going to make him a beast in the red zone. I liked him over all the WRs except maybe Matthews.

Racista mandingo you just like him cuz he Black!!!

Voice of the Broncos.

Seriously?! And Duane Kiper is the voice of the San Francisco Giants. Weird.

[smuggler]

He seems smart from that interview. Probably smarter than Jennings was and definitely smarter than Jordy.
