If healthy, he could make the final cut.

He will make it cause we have no real backup for Dawkins. Obviously injury stops that. Who would be Left Tackle, Williams, Nsekhe, Fords, Salako. We are trying to find our true right tackle. I see Adams being groomed to backup LT now and if he is fully healthy mid season being RT. He will play both for now but backup LT. This truly is a STEAL, he was truly injured but played all of 2019. just needs time to heal and get more speed in his feet.

Sounds like his back is a mess, but the skills, size and aggression are all so appealing that he is well, well worth a flyer at this point. If that strength and wellness team can build him up, he is THE UDFA steal no question.

He played all of 2019, hurt back 2018.

Sounds like a prime practice squad candidate. 

 

The year and half dealing with injuries had to be tough. An ACL and then back surgery.  He showed good perseverance coming back from each injury and immediately moved back into the starting line-up the last third of 2018 and all of 2019.  I think all his flaws are fixable..he just needs reps and a little Bobby Johnson whoop ass....I think he becomes a pet project. 

 

The answer to the combine question was a maturity thing-- its really funny, however, sometimes you give the second answer that pops in your head not the first.  That's my rule for answering questions from my wife....

That was hilariously bad. But hilarious first.

Wanted a larger member

At 6'8" I am sure he is not shamed. Not PC but pretty funny actually! He is 20, 21 That doesn't scare me.

2016...   good player - maybe a future 1st rounder

2017...   torn ACL

2018...   back surgery

2019...   mediocre player - not fully recovered?


Here are the closing sentences of a good article on Trey from SB Nation:

 

"If you’re an NFL GM wanting to take a chance on him in the later rounds, obviously your angle would be hoping that with time Adams could return to his earlier form or at least near it. Who knows if that’s possible — likely it’s not, but if your team drafts him at a later round and he does overcome his injury history and get his athleticism back to earlier, then you’ve obviously just gotten a huge steal."

Looks a little like Gronk, no?  I think he is going to fit in just fine and has a good chance of making the club. 

 

Patriots to trade Rob Gronkowski to Buccaneers, reuniting him with ...

 

His response to that question also sounded like Gronk!  (Without the Belichick overlord, of course, but the REAL Gronk.)

I'm curious if the the Bills new fancy training facility had anything to do with his decision. I'm guessing that was a major selling point along with the chance to compete for a starting RT spot if he is able to recover to form.

Best case in a year he is ready to compete at left or right tackle depending on what happens with Dion and Ford. 
 

Maybe he replaces Nsehke as the swing guy and we flip Ty to some team for a draft pick. At worst I think Ty is a free agent after this year, so maybe Adams is ready to contribute there. I do fee like he is probably a year away from making a significant impact. 

He played all of 2019 so he could backup LT. You have Williams too and he plays guard and Tackle. Nsehke could be the odd guy out here. Best scenario is the guy is a stud and is RT with Williams and Nsehkle backing up both spots. Ford to RG. If the guy gets IR and he is a stud for next year. You don't lose pedigree from injuries in College. Bills have top notch medical equipment and staff that will put to shame what Washington had. STEAL!

The whirlpool maybe.

Seems like he needs a year or two in an NFL conditioning program. 

Be great if he could play RT now. But if he is a backup he has time with Nsekhe or Williams going in 1st. I expect Ford to be RG unless he has changed. That means RT is manned by Williams, Nsekhe or Adams. This is a good problem to have.

I think a healthy Williams is a vast improvement at RT. Not counting out Ford to take a big step forward, and also think he can be a solid RG starter.

Which we can afford to do. If we work on his conditioning and footwork, he has potential. 

This guy was a 1-2nd rounder. Projected 5th this year. Played all of 2019. With injury background and COVID, made it hard for him to be checked out. Thought to go in 2019 draft and Mocks in 2018 had him as a Bills selection in the 5th so Bills have been watching this man for 3 years. They know him well and probably said to him this would happen later pick or this way.

This might be the steal of the UDFAs. I’d let him train and heal the whole year. I wouldn’t stash him on PS.

That made the physical resemblance even more compelling.....  ?
