No. 93 Green Bay Packers: Montravius Adams, Defensive Tackle, Auburn

Strengths: Size, run defense, upside.

Weaknesses: Consistency, consistency, consistency.

Adams, a 5-star recruit out of high school, per 247Sports, looks like a future All-Pro when everything is clicking. He started developing his pass-rushing technique to go with his run-stopping power last year, turning in dominant performances against Georgia and Alabama.

Even at his worst, Adams is a load to block. But he will get pushed around by double-teams, particularly late in games, and will get caught out of position against the run and neutralized against the pass. The Tigers began limiting him to about a 50-snap pitch count last season and sliding him outside in some custom packages, which may have kept him fresh for his late-season surge.

Adams is considered a high character/intangibles individual who should take care of business in the conditioning program. He may be one of those 300-pounders who gets dogged with a “bad motor” label because his coaches thought a 74-snap workload was a good idea.

The Packers use cloggers like Adams in 30- to 40-snap doses. Chances are, they will get the most from him.



Grade: B+

As a fall back, the Brewers need some mid-inning relief help. Is he a righty or a south paw?

I like the guy for what he is not - a big fat Raji-like/Guion-like clod. If he could absorb some of Mike Daniels' effort and hustle, he could be damn good with that athleticism.

Money motivates some people, let's hope he's one of them.

This might be the case that proves its all about pad level.

I am not sure why the scoop on the guy is he's lazy. He was dominant his senior year from what I'm reading. Maybe as a junior he just wasn't as good? I think he'll be a decent player. I like the body type. While 40 yard dash isn't super important it's clear it shows some overriding level of athleticism and this guy clearly is pretty athletic. If he was an inch taller he'd be the perfect body type for 5 tech. I think he'll be a starter there in a year or two.

The thing I most recently read (not sure if true) was that his team played him 70+ snaps per game Junior year, and put him on a more realistic count his Senior year. Playing that much almost anyone would take a play or two off to rest.

Perhaps some of your minds may be changed this year.

[Joemailman]

If he's good, that DL will be crazy good. Keep rotating guys and nobody gets tired.

I'm convinced. The argument you present is indisputable.

It's pre-season. Put me on the Montravius Adams bandwagon, and let's roll!

I'll probably get a date with Drew Barrymore this year, too!

Is she still fat or did she lose that weight? If she’s still fat I would assume your chances are better.

[Joemailman]

He has a chance. But who knows if he'll remind us of Mike Daniels or Khyri Thornton? He seems to have good quickness off the line, but so did Thornton and Worthy. A lot of college DT's look good on film because they're quicker than the Guards they line up against. Then they get to the NFL and it's a different story. He played better as a senior than as a junior. Hopefully that's a trend.

Turns out, he's Khyri Thornton.

Turns out, he's Khyri Thornton.

Gute seemed to still have hope. I question gutes sanity that he seems to cling to some of these guys

I wouldn't put too much credence in his comment. He's not going to publicly trash Adams. I'm sure he knows Adams hasn't been good enough.
