People around here gave shit to Matt Reynolds for measuring in at the Shrine Bowl at a legit 6'4".
Someone posted a video of Osemele at Senior Bowl practices and in one shot he was standing next to Adams of Ohio State and he looked approximately 4" shorter than Adams standing right beside him. Both are listed at 6'6" by their schools. I'd like to see his arm measurements. He looked short in the blocking drills.
But then, both Will Shields and Rod Hudson, after All-American careers, dropped in the draft (Shields in the third and Hudson in the late second) because they measured short in the arms. (NFL guys hate that.) But operating at the guard spot, that isn't a big deal and if you have the strength, it might work to your advantage.
Adams is huge, but he hasn't looked overly impressive in the games I've seen him play. He didn't show a lot of technique or finesse and looked to just overwhelm people with his size/strength. I don't know. I think he's a big question mark in this draft. He's got proto size but he doesn't adjust well.
I guess it depends on what the Chiefs ultimately do with the offensive coordinator position. If they stay in a zone scheme like Haley was running, I'd say that Adams wouldn't fit. If they go to a power man scheme, then he might work. He'll need to be coached up, but he has the tools to be a solid right tackle if he wants to be.
