If Perry or Konz have fallen to the 2nd, sure - go with those guys. Those are also pretty good value picks that fit the needs better. But if there's nobody that presents a strong value pick and Adams is available for you, passing on him because you have Albert w/ 1 year left on his deal and Winston, who rumors suggest was let go by Houston because of health concerns - well that's just dumb.

When I was reading through the thread, my first thought was about the '05 draft and Rodgers. At the time, many might have said the same thing: "We don't need a QB now! LB is a much bigger concern!!"
Now, we have largely wised up (for the most part) about QBs, but the guiding principle in selecting Adams would be the same. Take the damn gift and run like hell.
