The Bucs had to take Adams after the Lions wanted too much for Calvin Johnson.  The Bucs main problem could be keeping Adams motivated as he takes plays off.  Adams also doesn’t show much interest in defending the run either.  But, he is an outstanding pass rusher and the Bucs are getting really old on the defensive side of the football.  Adams played in 48 games (26 starts) at Clemson over his career and he has made 168 tackles, 44.5 tackles for a loss, had 28 sacks, batted down 21 passes, forced 5 fumbles and recovered 3 fumbles.  Adams also has outstanding speed as he runs a 4.65 40 despite being 6′5″, 265 pounds.  This is a boom or bust pick for the Buccaneers.
