I'm all about a vet but after the Cyprien to Titans news the Adams possibility just became real.  I'd rather take my chances (even in the 2nd round or later) than go with a bum.  There will always be safety options off the scrap heap.

Didn't even realize he was a FA. Never got thrown around in any of the discussions. I think he's average at best. Sure seems like Adams will be there for us now. I think in most of the mocks where he went before us, he went to Jax or Tenn and they have signed Church and Cyprien (or will).

I still think OJ Howard wins out over any Safety or DE not named Garrett

From NFL draft profile on him
Strengths

NFL bloodlines with pro size and length who has played deep and in the box. Hits like a missile in the middle of the field, uses his shoulder to bring real power into the back or midsection of receivers with closing speed and tenacity. Solid ball skills, looks high and wide passes into his hands and can get down to get his hands under low throws. Physical presence around the line, sticks his head into short-yardage plays and uses his length to stay off lineman blocks and to wrap up running backs in traffic and receivers in the flat. Attacks the alley aggressively when coming downhill from two-high coverages. Does a good job fighting through blocks and making tackles on screens. Tries to lay the kill shot on wide receivers over the middle, but generally a good form tackler against running backs. Height and size come in handy on jump ball situations. Will be a factor on special teams, both using his length on the kick block team and as a strong tackler on coverage units.

Weaknesses

Will be pegged as a pure in-the-box safety. Protected in coverage by being used extensively as a Robber his senior season. Linear, high-cut player who is tall in his back pedals. Displays stiff hips, average change-of-direction ability and burst. His height and average short-area quickness become an issue when trying to break down quickly to make tackles in space, can be eluded in the open field by quicker receivers and running backs. Also lacks flexibility to turn-and-run with better receivers and tight ends. Does not have the range to get to the sideline, even sometimes to the hash, in single-high looks. Stares into the backfield, gets frozen and fooled by play action, loses receivers behind him, and takes time to recover after a false step.

Would love to bring him in, but he has a blemish on his record, so it's not happening.

At this point, it's one of those positions that you bring in as many bodies as you can and hope the cream rises to the top.  But, after not getting one of the top tier guys, i expect DG and Ron to say they believe in Tre now and believe he's going to "continue to develop."
