I asked if Adams was overrated in a thread on the rant earlier today. I know he's really good, but I'm not sure the hype is 100% warranted.
Similar to Collins his junior season. Dude was solid, looked the part, and was taken early in the 2nd round(I know Adams has a great chance to go in the 1st), but Collins didn't deserve the hype that he received.
They're different types of safeties, but I'm pretty damn sure I'd take Eddie Jackson over Collins 10/10 times. Yet Jackson doesn't get half the airtime that Collins had.
I just think y'all could replace Adams and not have too many worries. I could be wrong, though.

Its warranted to say he is one of the best dbs in the sec and if youre one of the best dbs in the sec then youre one of the best in cfb. He was tied for 4th in the sec in interceptions.
Finished third on team with 67 tackles, including 47 solo stops … Added 5.0 tackles for loss, six pass breakups and four interceptions.
he led all safeties in solo tackles

Adams is not a Landon Collins. Jamal can cover receivers in man coverage if needed. Apples to oranges.

Very wrong. Dude has unteachable instincts.

Dude, Adams is legit. He has the speed to play deep coverage, the quickness to cover the slot and the size/aggressiveness to help in run support. He's the one guy that I'm confident will continue to live up to the hype.
