Several people have graded safety Jamal Adams of LSU as a top-10 selection, often times pegging him to the Jacksonville Jaguars with the fourth selection.
I don’t see it.
Adams is an explosive athlete, but he’s not as complete as Malik Hooker and definitely does not have comparable ball skills to the Ohio State sophomore. I also feel he does not have the same upside as Jabrill Peppers, who may be scheme-specific but will instantaneously impact games as a return specialist as a rookie.
Two players from LSU who are woefully underrated are cornerback Tre'Davious White and receiver Malachi Dupre.
Had White entered last April’s draft he would’ve been a first-round pick, but his game leveled off and even regressed at some points last season. Regardless, he still shows the ability to shut down receivers when opponents throw his way and plays tough, aggressive football.
He measured a shade under 6-feet at the Senior Bowl, but I feel he’s a steal outside of the top-45 selections.
Dupre also watched his game take a step back last year after a terrific sophomore campaign. During the Citrus Bowl the junior was back to his dominant self though, recording seven receptions for 139 yards against Louisville. He’s a big-play receiver with size as well as growth potential. Anything past the 65th pick and Dupre is a bargain as far as I’m concerned.
What amazed me on film was the speed Leonard Fournette plays with. The junior running back not only runs over people but runs away from them with regularity.
From Rotoworld last week, it was reported Mississippi receiver Damore'ea Stringfellow was not invited to the combine.
Watching Stringfellow last week, I felt he caught the ball well but shows little to no quickness or speed in his game and cannot separate.
One name kept popping into my mind as I watched him: De'Runnya Wilson.
As far as former Mississippi State receivers go, Fred Ross will be a steal on the draft’s final day.
