Darvin Adams

Recommended Posts

I was looking at the list of potential undrafted free agents and the one guy I kept going back to is Darvin Adams. I wonder if Carolina could possibly bring him in because of his connection with Newton and to have a target that Newton is fimiliar with.

Thoughts?

Yes. Why not he is a pretty good receiver and we can cut him if he sucks it up. I don't see how bringing him in hurts anything.

He needs to add more weight, and is extremely slow, Cam's faster than him and is two inches taller plus 60 more pounds than him.

i say no as well because i want us to bring in DeAndre Brown as a UDFA.

If this kid grows up, you are looking at a TO type player. He has the biggest upside. A leg injury and immaturity hurt him in the draft.

Worth a shot.

Unless Gettis is able to step up to a #1, I think adding youth at WR is just log-jamming the position. Brown, however, gives us the big WRs like they had in SD.

We are going to lose Steve Smith, howver. I feel about 75% sure of that.

I like Darvin Adams, but we really have enough young wideout's. If we want to give Cam help, then we need to give him another good option, plus adding another player that has the caliber to be a really good player; let's say Braylon Edwards, also sends the message to Steve Smith that this team is committed to winning now.

I say we sign Braylon, and keep 6 wideout's.

WR 1- Steve Smith, David Gettis

WR 2- Braylon Edwards, Brandon LaFell

Slot- Kealoha Pilares, Armanti Edwards

My Undrafted Free Agent Wish List (after Brown):

Mark Herzlich LB- I would groom him to play behind Beason, however, not on the outside. We are losing Connor (unless he becomes the starter at SLB), so we will need depth.

DeAndre McDaniel SS --We need a true SS and McDaniel will make an NFL roster. He seems to have overcome character issues (Mom has been arrested some 50 times).

Willie Smith, LOT- He is a former DT converted to LT. He has good athleticism, but is rough. Gross is 31 and we need depth there.

Noel Devine, RB- A small, quick alternative to what we already have at RB should DW leave. Sutton, Stewart, Goodson--nobody like Devine. ST consideration here.

Wes Saunders or Schuylar Oordt, TEs--Saunders is my preference, but either.

Martin Parker, DT- Has some upside as a 3 tech.

Deunta Williams SS-We need a true SS

DJ Young LOT--Second team all big 10 LT.

Adam Grant, David Mims--OT (I feel that we need tackle depth on both sides (Otah unhealthy, nobody behind 31-year old Gross), and I think drafting projects now could benefit the team later) Grant has good feet and hands, poor technique (LOT-fixable)-Mims is 6'8" 335 (RG, maybe RT).

Kai Forbath K--We need a K on the PS should Kasay realize he is old.

Jeffrey Maehl, WR--reminds me of Proehl.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
