1 game scouting report Gaines Adams DE/OLB Clemson

[Ochmed Jones]

He's tall, around 6'4" or 6'5" and he's a good 230 lbs. plus. He has OK speed. As a pass rusher he has a vast variety of moves, he's preety good with his hands. Good quick first step off the line.
Against Georgia Tech I saw him drop into coverage several times. He didn't look bad doing it either, that surprised me a bit. He's fairly fluid for a lineman so with more reps, he could be fairly competent in coverage one day.
He plays the run fairly well and doesn't shy away from the physical side of the game.

Overall I like his game, his hustle and his passion. Depending on how he runs, he could work as a replacement for Willie in that OLB/Elephant backer role. However I severly doubt he tumbles out of the top ten in the upcoming draft.

230 pounds as a DE..hes over 260.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

He may be listed at 260 lbs. But standing on the field before the game, he didn't look it or maybe I'm not accounting properly for the extra height.

I have little to no interest in this kid. He quits on some plays. I was not too high on him coming into the Tech/Clemson game, but he did look OK. I also doubt his ability to play the OLB/DE position in the 3-4 as he is listed at 260# but I would bet on 240# at best.
