    He will likely make a solid guard. They put in Guy Wimper before him yesterday so, when does Adams become the top back up guard?

    I would likely figure that 6'7 Guards are rare. Adams is still young. I don't think they will put him at Guard unless there's an emergency.

    No way we can label him a bust at this point. has he even played 16 games yet? He needs some more time.

    Why would he make a solid guard? Because he wont have to face speed rushers from interior linemen? I don't think it works that way. Alex Boone (another Buckeye who was originally a RT) starts at RG for SF and is 6'7'' or 6'8''... he might actually be bigger than the RT lol

    Adams was inactive last week due to his performance in London, so I'm assuming that they are going to make him earn back his spot in the rotation. That being said, I think that he still has potential to become a starting quality RT, and could very possibly be the starting RT for this team by the end of the year. He is much more natural to the RT position, and probably should have been there from the start.

    Adams was the highest pick in the draft that year. He was higher than DeCastro. That would make a great trivia question. Who was the higher pick? DeCastro or Adams? Answer: Adams

    What do you mean? Adams was a higher pick than DeCastro. Adams was a really high draft pick.

    I'm LOVING this!!! I was saying that since he was on pot that he was HIGHER than DeCastro! LOL!!! That's what you call a "way homer" because you get it on the way home. Like when two guys walk in to a bar and one guys looks at the other and says "I didn't see it either".

    I am just ahead of my time man. Some day people will look at me like the next Andy Kaufman who is my comedic hero. It's hard being from the future.
