Adams at 5 as well.
I don't see a S going that high.
Agreed.
Really like Adams and his talent, but its rare for a Safety to go top 15 in the draft. It's 1 of those weird positions that isn't valued as much as other spots in the NFL. Since 2000, only 8 safeties have gone in the top 15. And there have been 5 drafts where no safety was taken in round 1 since 2000 as well. Just a weird position in the draft. Adams will def be a top safety when he declares though.

Safeties are pretty highly valued today, not as much as cover corners, but they are valued more than they were 10 years ago. With the NFL moving to more of a passing league, all defensive backs are highly valued. There were two safeties drafted in the top 17 this past year. Now I'm not saying Jamal Adams will go top 5 but if he has a good year and doesn't get injured, he will be a top 15 pick
