Re: Jamal Adams at #11?
 

I like the fit

O.J. Howard TE Alabama 6056 251 4.51 #88 Sr
Christian McCaffrey RB/WR/KR Stanford 5115 205 4.48 Jr.

Have some questions of one sort or another about roster conflicts and/or system fit ect.

Jonathan Allen DE/DT Alabama 6025 294 4.85 #93 Sr
Leonard Fournette RB LSU 6005 230 4.45 #7 Jr
Jamal Adams SS LSU 5115 211 4.54 #33 Jr

Does youth explain mental lapses?Yet the upside? so what the heck i love solid gambles

Malik Hooker FS OSU 6020 206 4.54 #24 rSo
Marlon Humphrey CB/FS Alabama 6005 196 4.41 #26 rSo

Um, no.

Re: Jamal Adams at #11?
 

Weird article on O.J. on S.I. It seemed like it started out saying don't pick O.J. Then did everything in its power to say what a great pick he would be. Good chance he isn't there at eleven though.

ALL i see is someone docter this photo Payton ain't taller than coach O.:lolup:

Re: Jamal Adams at #11?
 

IDK. It is the Jets we are talking about. They remind me of how the Saints use to be. Even so I agree. Its highly unlikely he will be there.

Re: Jamal Adams at #11?
 

Yea he has the hit hand right now. From what I hear he is the closest thing to a sure thing in the draft.

Re: Jamal Adams at #11?
 

We have enough SS..........we need a FS though.

Re: Jamal Adams at #11?
 

Here's the question then: If Adams truly is an immediate upgrade, dare say it having the potential to be Marcus Peters' level of talent, then why not reach? The Saints current #11 and #32 have a total value of a #4.

Is the potential of having the potential of one exceptional player worth the cost of drafting two players who likely will never be exceptional?

I understand the value if a top 5 guy drops to 11. But I'm unsure of the value of a #11 and #32 that will never reach the potential of a top 5 guy.

Thoughts?

Just playin devil's advocate here...

Because there's no guarantee how any draft pick will turn out. The odds are better with a top five pick but definitely not a certainty. So why not take two shots at getting a stud rather than one?

And then there's another unknown, assuming all the draft picks do pan out relative to their draft status, does having one stud outweigh having two really good players.

I think it just comes down to how convinced the team is that a certain player is exactly what they need.
