In a way I think the fact that our DB's were so bad had somewhat of a positive effect for Adam. Adam is larger than the prototypical DE these days. Everyone is into the quicker, undersized, pash rush type ends, for example, Kiawanuka, Wimbley, and Hali(all taken in last years first round). Adam has now proven that he has the ability to take on 2 and sometimes 3 blockers, which makes him PERFECT for a 3-4 defense. One of the previously metioned undersized defensive ends would render themselves practically useless in a 3-4 because they would only take up one blocker.
