How would you feel about moving up to get him? I think he completely changes our defense and gives us a personality we need.

Then go DE at 32.

I don't like it. He's an LSU player.

We probably won't have the 32 pick anymore if we move up to get him.

I absolutely love Adams as a prospect but I personally believe he is MUCH better suited to play as a box safety at SS, I think he lacks the speed/range to be a top tier FS. I think we need talent like him BUT he is similar to Vacarro so unless we plan to let him walk (which would be a mistake), I don't think Adams is a good fit for us. Hooker would be a much better pick.

Nope. Someone else will trade away half their draft to move up to get him. We don't need to do that.


There are other solid safeties in this draft like Budda Baker and Marcus Williams.

Would love him but no. You have to give up slot to get in the top 10. And safety isn't the biggest need.

No way I'd move up for a safety.

I think getting a veteran FS (Webb, Byrd) stopgap is really important, but I'd like to see what we have in Bell before we invest a lot in another rookie.

And I think Vaccaro is a solid SS, which is what Adams will do. It doesn't make sense unless the Saints FO is convinced that Adams will be an All-Pro caliber player.

I wouldn't hate it. I think he's a more sure thing at safety than pretty much any first rd corner is. It would be nice to have a playmaker with his leadership ability.

ETA just realized OP was advocating moving up. No I wouldn't want to do that. I'd definitely highly consider taking him at 11 and would be pretty excited if we got him.

Safety is not a pressing concern for the Saints. It would be a stupid move.

i wouldn't mind it actually but only if he slipped to us (won't happen though).

need more help on the front seven still in my opinion. Have added some players at LB so I don't know if that would be the move the Saints will make. Would still like it if we did though.

if we got Butler and gave up a pick and then somehow added Adams then I'd be okay with that

^^^ pipe dream at its finest^^^

still would like to get a pass rusher with the #11 pick.

I do not want to trade up for any reason whatsoever in round 1. We need our picks.

I love Adams - maybe my favorite player from last year's LSU team - but it's hard for me to justify going crazy to get him when safety seems like a lesser need compared to DE, CB, and maybe even LB (though we have made some moves there).
