ROUND 2 PICK 53 - WR DAVANTE ADAMS (FRESNO STATE)

Yowza! Adams looking like a bigger, stronger Randall Cobb. ROTTT.

 

Casey needs some work.  Looked like CWood at his guessing worst.

No contact drills. Sure like Adam's footwork on that route though.

That was ridiculous.  Eat your heart out, fred astaire.

I bet Hayward would like another crack at Adams after that one.

 

I blame Capers.  

Blame AJ Hawk. It's like "Blame Canaydia"

40 seconds of context.

Bush somehow had something to do with this. Still working on the particulars.

Which Bush, 41, 43 or 24?

The local sports talk group out of GB was talking of this play earlier in the week.  It's great to be able to see the actual play (thanks for posting).  

I have a feeling that Adams is going to be a helluva WR for the Packers.   The coaches and talking heads are raving about the guy.   With our current receiver corps this guy could do a lot of damage because if he can do that against Hayward what will he do against mediocre nickel or dime DBs?

 24...sorry for the ambiguity

I'd be willing to bet if Hayward had any film of Adams to study, maybe it doesn't happen like that.

 

Don't get me wrong, I think Adams has the ability to be a great player here in GB...hell, being a 2nd round WR pick by TT suggests he's gonna be a pro-bowler...but I would guess that's not all that unusual when a DB is going against a WR he knows nothing about.

... and may not really be playing defense depending on what drill they are in.

 

 

That too.

Don't get me wrong, Adams put an awesome set of moves on Hayward but I doubt Adams is going to get off the line that easily during the season.

Seems like a lot of writers thing Jordy will not be a Packer when his contract comes up.  Didn't he already sign a very Packer friendly extension once? He's Mid-west guy and I think will be a Packer for life. 

Nasty!!! My new favorite Packer. WOW!!!!

Everyone has been comparing Adams to James Jones, but I think his potential is a lot higher than James Jones'. If Adams stays disciplined and continues to get stronger, I think he is an Anquan Boldin type player. They're almost the exact same size (Adams= 6'1"/212 Boldin=6'1"/218), they were drafted 1 pick apart (Adams=53rd Boldin=54th), and their scouting reports were pretty similar...both thought of as possession receivers who are strong after the catch and have deceptive downfield speed. The future is bright for him.

 

As for Jordy, if the numbers add up then there's no reason why they won't re-sign him. If his demands are sky high, which hasn't been the case at any point in his career, then they won't have a choice. 

 

I agree his ceiling is a lot higher than Jones' ever was.

 

Interesting comparison with Boldin.

He's staying in Green Bay

"What I got in that last deal, I'll never spend it all anyway," Nelson said last week. "So I'm not worried about it."
