1. He's not a need until he is; can we count on Winston and Albert staying healthy all year? How do you figure that this team doesn't desperately need another tackle - Steve Maneri and David Mimms appear to be our backups right now. And what happens if Albert leaves? Adams is absolutely capable of playing LT.

2. Says who? Adams' effort is generally regarded as adequate, though not his greatest strength. He really stepped up last season in that department.

3. Again - says who? This isn't a good tackle crop. Anyone that would be available that is 'more dependable' has a substantially lower ceiling in this draft.

Adams would be a very good pick in the 2nd round for us, IMO. He provides depth where we desperately need it and could be a very good developmental player for us.
