New Safety

With Josh Jones now on IR, Abram will get his opportunity to play.

I watched film on him from 2020 and he’s definitely Adams light. Quick to the ball and loves contact. If they say weak in passing defense, so is Adams.

This point is overblown. Adams is still a talented player in coverage. PFF grades have ruined the discourse.

I would like to see us use him like Adams, rush the passer, create havoc and just be around the ball.

I agree, I want a safety that can hammer receivers. Make them a little scared. Their coverage skills don't need to be like a corner.

The irony of a guy who can’t pronounce Salmon coming to the PNW is pretty good. I hope he achieves the potential he showed before the draft and that he can stay healthy.

Good tackler, can't cover. Sounds like a good backup while Jamal Adams is out.

Hopefully he will be a serviceable stop-gap for the time being, but if you watch that video it looks like he is often not really that good of a tackler due to being out of position, and also getting juked/faked out a lot. But when he does get someone squared up in his sights and they're not ready for it he is capable of delivering a very good solid hit. We'll see.

Diggs could help get him on the right track.
I notice our FO is big on trying to find former high round picks as FAs but trade our high round pick spots away for later picks. Seems strange to me.
