Overview
Canadian import with junior college background who settled in as a two-year starter and 2023 team captain at Illinois. Adams' 2022 guard tape is important, as he's likely to end up back at guard after a season at right tackle in 2023. He's thick but athletic, with the ability to lead the action as a pulling blocker or finish drive blocks with authority when unlocking his power. The hands and feet lack cohesion, which sometimes plays into his problems with fitting up and staying connected to base blocks. Adams has the physical qualities to become better in protection, but his inability to protect his edges is a major concern. There are traits and talent for cultivation, but more development is needed.Strengths
- Possesses an enticing blend of girth and athleticism.
- Able to get out of his stance and into pulling blocks with quickness.
- Uses decent hand placement to help reinforce his natural strength.
- Caves wash-down blocks on inside zone.
- Displays the force and attitude teams look for as a block finisher.
- Flashes some "dancing bear" tendencies with his mirror in pass pro.
Weaknesses
- Has a hard time keeping blocks centered with footwork and positioning.
- Slow to process assignment adjustments against moving fronts.
- Hands and feet are still too disjointed getting into run blocks.
- Lacks a direct punch to create early advantage in protection.
- Fails to use his length effectively, creating soft edges

Passed on Beebe for this guy. Very disappointing

NFLN guys said he's a lot better inside than at tackle

Don't know much about him.
Not on my radar at all
Beebe can't play guard in our offense.
So has 70 other picks.

Air Raid Warning!
Sounds like he is strictly a guard in NFL.

Have no clue about him. Seems like you could get a.guy like this tomorrow, but we will never know....

Adams is legit. In 2022 Illinois had one of the best rushing attacks in the nation.

Would rather have had another WR or CB but oh well
You could have probably gotten this actual guy in the 6th. Big time reach with better prospects on the board
He's going to compete to start with this high of a pick. I just need to do some more research

Zierlein had him as a 3-4 round guy.

It's football season!!
I like the position versatility and fits with our mold we draft, but this wasn’t good value for the spot.

ESPN (Stats Inc) had him 156 overall and 19th rated OT

And he can't play tackle.
Beebe was never going round two.
I've been saying it for months now.
