#104 - Joe Adams WR Arkansas

man, yall are remembering the last offensive staff, and not this one.

 

yep.

that said, i miss the last defensive staff.

 

probably Edwards, but it's something you'd decide in camp. On the roster side, really, this just bumps Ajirotutu to 7th so it's not like it's a tragedy. But you dress 5.

 

Production 2 "2008: (12/7) -- 31-377-12.2-1 2009: (10/7) -- 29-568-19.6-7 2010: (12/12) -- 50-813-16.3-6 2011: (13/13) - 54 -652- 12.1- 3 Career: 36 PRs-570-15.8-5. 7 KORs-124-17.7-0"

Height-Weight-Speed 3 "Shorter and leaner than the average NFL WR. Plays faster than his timed speed at the Combine (4.55 in 40), which is still faster than the average. Hands (9 3/8) are on par for position and arm length (31 7/8) is only slightly below average. "

Durability 4 "Bilateral hamstring injury prevented him from running shuttles at the combine. Left 2011 Texas A&M game with rib injury but started all 13 games. In 2010, he missed the Vanderbilt game due to an ankle injury. In 2009, he was bothered by severe headaches and eventually diagnosed with a 'mild stroke' which caused him to miss Auburn, Florida and Ole Miss games. "

Intangibles 2 Has shown determination returning from 'minor stroke.' Hard worker and team player. No off-the-field issues to our knowledge.

1 = EXCEPTIONAL2 = ABOVE AVERAGE3 = AVERAGE4 = BELOW AVERAGE5 = MARGINAL
WIDE RECEIVER SPECIFIC TRAITS

Separation Skills 2 "Can become more precise with routes. Too many wasted, choppy steps on many short-to-intermediate routes. Is undersized and lacks strength. Gets re-routed too easily and needs to improve his press-beating technique. Explodes off the line and has top-end speed to threaten. Displays quick feet, good balance and can drop his weight quickly. Flashes ability to explode out of breaks. Shows adequate-to-good feel for reading coverage and finding soft spots in zone. "

Ball Skills 4 "More efficient catching the football in 2011 season than in prior seasons. Flashes the ability to make tough catches in traffic. Also flashes the ability to pluck on the run without breaking stride. Tracks the deep ball well and can make over the shoulder catch. However, still too inconsistent with ball skills. Dropped two potential touchdowns in the 2011 Sugar Bowl loss to Ohio State and also had a handful of drops on catchable passes during the 2010 regular season. Biggest issue appears to be focus. Gets too concerned with run-after-catch before securing the football. Also allows too many balls into pads."

Big play ability 2 Home run threat as a slot receiver and punt returner. Very good initial burst off the line of scrimmage. Eats up cushion and has acceleration to get over the top. Is a bigger threat after the catch than he is as a vertical route runner. Shows good vision as an open-field runner and can make sharp cuts across the grain without losing momentum. Slippery in space. Shows ability to string multiple moves together. Change of direction skills and elusiveness are above average. Goes down too easily after the catch despite good effort.

Competitiveness 3 Runs hard after the catch. Is willing to go across the middle and flashes ability to secure the ball when he knows he's going to take a shot. Not an overly aggressive or physical run blocker. Dangles the ball away from his frame sometimes as a runner and needs to show better ball security.

 

He may still be available for the next pick. Wondering if Chapman from 'Bama is too big of a risk.

 

If Jenkins was off our board, why would we dilute ourselves and believe Dennard would not be?

 

I don't think JR would have Dennard because of his cop hitting incident.

May be punter or kicker time.

 

Not a fan of Dannard but at 5 or less id wouldnt be against taking a gamble.

I can see Butler in 5 the way things are going

 

Lmao. Depressing as hell when put like that.

As far as trading up in front of ourselves, you have to think that they must've been privy to some kind of info that someone was moving up to get Adams - the only guy Hunrey said he'd trade up for.

We probably had to give up that 3rd to make the deal rich enough for us to get instead of the bad guys. Probably all that was.

Man, if it goes a long way to fix our return game, and possibly make it dynamic, I'm all in.
