The Pick: S Jamal Adams, LSU

quote:

Adams is a freak.

With range, power and the mental ability to track and locate the ball, Adams has the skill set to be a Sean Taylor-type safety in the NFL. And that's a sentence I never thought I'd type.

The ability to play as a box safety and as a center fielder makes Adams valuable to the NFL. He can come downhill and make plays against the run or drop deep in Cover 3 or lock up tight ends in Cover 1. He's physical at the line of scrimmage and knows exactly how to use his hands and length to press and jam tight ends or slot receivers.

Adams, a top-five player in this class, is a steal for the Cardinals if the team is pressed to replace strong safety Tony Jefferson in free agency.


How awesome would that be for LSU fans?

Patrick Peterson, Tyrann Mathieu, and Jamal Adams in the Cardinals secondary?

That would be fun to watch. Plus, it would be a sick secondary.

Not sure he lasts that long. Some mocks have him going top 5, even top 3.

He's more Eric Berry than Earl Thomas IMO.

Hooker from OSU will be more like ET.

Both are great safety talents.

Kevin Minter at LB

And I think Tharold Simon is a backup

Exactly. He will not be on the board by the 13 th pick unless he has some issue between now and then.

I don't think they need a Safety that bad.

Hell, why not. A good percentage of DBU graduates already reside in the Cardinals' defensive backfield. Why not one more?

Just do it. Why in the world would Tre White last till the 3rd round?

They might as well draft Beckwith too.

CB Patrick Peterson
FS Tyrann Mathieu
SS Jamal Adams
CB Tre White

ILB Kevin Minter
MLB Kendall Beckwith


Would be awesome. And, who would not take those 6 on defense?

Let the Cardinals do what the Saints won't and I'll be happy for them.
