There are differing views on Adams:
The negative view, too expensive, not worth the draft cost, needs to be traded b/c he’s supposedly not good at pass D. Nothing positive about Adams is considered relevant. Trade him now!
The positive view, although costly in terms of draft capital, he is a genuine difference maker, a chess piece, an energizer for the D, a blitz master, and a player that must be schemed to prevent him wrecking havoc on opposing QBs. As yet we don’t know how great he could be despite him being aPro Bowl player every year he’s been in the NFL. As far as the pass D he played with a broken thumb and needs to be cut some slack. He needs to be kept.
I want to see more. We have only seen a partial season. Pete sees something special in Adams, the team went all in to get him. Pete knows what a quality DB looks like. We need to recognize he is different and is a difference maker. Despite missing significant time last season to various truly significant injuries he set a league record for sacks by a SS. 9 sacks by a DB in 12.5 games is extraordinary.
I support the positive view and think despite his cost he needs to stay and be allowed to wreck havoc. The D is better with him here.
