27. Trey Adams – Offensive tackle, Washington

In 2016 Trey Adams was coming off a standout season where he earned first-team all-Pac-12 and looked to be on his way to becoming an easy first-round pick. However, a torn ACL and a bulging disk in his back led to a 397-day gap between games for Adams.

Now heading into 2019 Adams has said he is ready to go and if he can stay healthy, he should be able to remind scouts and analysts how good he is. Adams could have come out this past draft and still would have been a top-50 pick, but a healthy 2019 will surely have him back in the first round discussion.

Adams is fantastic in pass protection with the quickness to handle most speed rushers and the power to withstand a bull rush. In the run game, he has a good punch with his hands, and once he gets a grip of you, it is over. Adams isn’t going to be a world-class athlete especially now that he suffered those injuries, but he has the size (6’8″, 306 pounds), technique and savvy to be great at the next level.

Of course the medical is always going to be something to watch especially after we saw Florida’s Jawaan Taylor dip from possible top-10 pick to the second round this past draft due to knee concerns.
