We selected the last Lions player drafted, Marcellus Wiley, and there is a prospect from Columbia in this years draft who whilst we'd be mad to think of using a second round pick, should be there towards the bottom of Day3 at a position who incidentally fills a need.
Jeff Adams, Left Tackle.
His stats are as follows:
Height - 6ft6
Weight - 308lbs
40yds - 5.13 and 5.22
Vertical - 34.5
Broad - 9.5
Short shuttle - 4.20
Three Cone - 7.31
Arms - 33 and three quarters
BP - 19
A native of Chicago, he attended Northwestern's Pro Day workout where by all accounts his performance overall was impressive. He has been described as athletic but needing to add strength but when you consider we selected Bell after he pressed 225lbs a total of 9 times at the combine and 10 times at his pro day, I'm not sure Adams could be called weak. He pressed as much as the better known Mike Adams did.
Whilst I am not suggesting he'd start in 2012, this years class beyond Kalil seems weak and maybe we might be better off going with a combination of Hairston and maybe Levitre and seeing how Adams develops. Certainly he has the smarts to be a prospect but locking him in the weights room could help.
I'd be happy to spend a 6th rounder on him
