Jerell Adams, TE, South Carolina
Another player from the state of South Carolina, Jerell Adams, should hear his name called tonight. The Gamecock tight end has been swiftly moving up draft boards since last September, and I'm told the Green Bay Packers and Carolina Panthers will consider him as Round 3 closes out.

He is an interesting prospect - huge wingspan (82.5 ") but small hands (9).  There were some concerns about his strength but he did light it up at the Senior Bowl against some good LBs blocking.

As a plus he can play ST so he would fit more than one role for us if we took him.  I still think we get that Harlan Miller kid in the third though.

Position fit:

In-line tight end

Stat to know:

Highest run-blocking grade among tight ends in the Power-5

Combine stats:

Height: 6-5

Weight: 247

Arm length: 34 ⅜”

Hand size: 9 ¾”

40-yard dash: 4.64 seconds

Vertical jump: 32.5”

Broad jump: 9-9

3-cone drill: 7.05

20-yard shuttle: 4.31

60-yard shuttle: 11.52

What he does best:

–Impressive effort and hands as a run-blocker. One of only tight ends at the top of this class you’d feel comfortable blocking defensive ends routinely. Hits his target zone, latches on, and doesn’t let go (although that might lead to some holds).

–Above-average straight-line speed. Can create space up the seam against linebackers on gos and posts

–Body control is impressive. Has a large catch radius and seems more sure handed when forced to adjust to a ball than ones thrown perfectly to his chest

–Stout lower half. Defensive backs bounce off when they contact him at hip level. Broke 10 tackles on only 28 catches, tied for most in the class.

Biggest concern:

–Frustrating drops. Five on 33 catchable passes in 2015. Too often catches with his body instead of plucking it out of the air with his hands. Could have issues in traffic at the next level.

–Very limited receiving production (albeit in a poor passing offense). +1.0 receiving grade and 749 yards over past two seasons.

–Slight build compared to most successful blocking tight ends in the NFL. Could benefit from even more mass on his frame.

Player comparison:

Ben Watson, Baltimore Ravens. Both are plus athletes who could be either No. 1 or No. 2 tight ends. They aren’t necessarily receivers you’d feature in your offense, but both hold their own in that category.

Bottom line:

Adams has starter-level receiving traits with the added bonus of being a capable blocker. That’s not as valuable as it once was, but he’ll still be coveted by certain teams.

this kid can play, I think he is better than his lack of production and touches would have you believe

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
