Espn didn't show highlights of Adams (unless I missed it). Anyone have them?

Dude...that's footage from high school. At least he finished most of his blocks with a nasty attitude. I saw him hold once too though.

classic boom or bust pick.

my feeling is that the steelers have alot of "guys" like hood, worilds, k. lewis, etc. etc. but do they have many potential difference makers? I dont think they do. or at least not enough to win a SB, IMO.

you need those type guys, so i can live with this pick in the 2nd.

I was listening to the fan today and Jim Wexell said the Steelers compare Mike Adams to Flozell Adams. If Mike Adams can play as well as Flozell, Ill be happy.

That's a good point actually (I'm trying to find the good in it.)
You're right in that we have tons of "character" guys with limited upsides, and that environment may help this guy stay focused and in line.

What did they film that with a cell phone from '95?

i would have hated the adams pick in the 1st. I can understand the value of this pick in the 2nd.

Let's not forget the same issue when we drafted Marvel Smith...that worked out, this may too

I could have sworn I read somewhere the Steelers had checked into some of the rumors about suppossed character issues (including the pot test at the combine) and came away with no issues. Obviously they were not deterred.
