49ers sign 7th round pick CB Phillip Adams

PrintThe 49ers announced they have locked up seventh round draft choice Phillip Adams, a cornerback out of South Carolina State, with a four year deal. Adams (5-11, 192) was a 2009 first-team All-Mid Eastern Athletic Conference selection.
As a senior, Adams tied for the team lead with three interceptions, two of which he returned for touchdowns, ranked tied for first in the MEAC with 11 pass breakups, and posted 48 tackles. In 2008, he tied for first in the MEAC with five interceptions and tallied nine pass breakups, while returning 11 punts for 208 yards and two touchdowns.
Adams is the first of the 49ers 2010 draft choices to sign. Adams will be competing with some talented players at cornerback. With three spots locked up (Clements, Spencer, T. Brown), Adams will be competing with newly signed Will James, Karl Paymah, Keith Smith, and Patrick Stoudamire, and Tramaine Brock for reps in training camp, and only a couple roster spots. I could see him potentially ending up on the practice squad, although it'd certainly be nice to see a seventh round pick force his way onto the 53-man roster.

Who is this year's Crabtree?
anyone that we drafted thats gonna give any problems on signing with the team?
It's all good!
Davis would be best bet
based on pick position and he does seem to be a little bit immature, though I know the agent has just as much to do with it.

though I'm sincerely hoping
nobody is left to sign by July.

Nice way 2 show ''optimism'' when it comes 2 signing all are picks whew '' love that niner pride '' can we kill the
negativity atleast until it happens,what your forgetting is that ’’crabtree’’ fell down 2 us and thats a ’’diva’’position. Are 2 O-L is who we wanted and ’’needed’’ so i think it will be more pressure from singletary 2 get their contracts done.
nothing wrong with wondering
It’s a big issue. It’s not negativity so much as trying to get a realistic picture of the situation. Why stick our heads in the sand and pretend it’s not gonna happen?

thank you fooch
back me up here lol i think of all senario’s not every yard is green kind of thing!
It's all good!
Everything I have seen and read about Davis and Iupati concerning their conversations with Sing, with Solari and Brown and with playing on the 49ers together
has been positive. I would say they are not going to be difficult to sign, or least the normal difficulty.

good
i hate big head guys im having that problem with uh some dude named lebron? jesus its hell as a cavs fan this is my escape.
It's all good!
Nah..
Lebron is being smart right now, you really can’t hate on possibly the best player in the game for being difficult with contract things, you know? As a Cavs fan I’m sure it’s frustrating, but something like Crabtree was different, he was a rookie. Lebron is very, very proven.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

You can post as much as you want, man.

Davis maybe
But I really don’t think we’ll have an issue with these guys getting to camp on time.
Especially since both 1st round picks have a really good shot to start immediately.

Unfortunately at best he has a good camp
But because there’s just no room on the roster he just misses making the team behind James and Paymah. If he impresses enough I’d keep him on the practice roster and hope he doesn’t get signed by someone else. He’s got a lot of all-around potential to be cut loose altogether.
93 days to go. . .And contrary to popular belief, sadly I do not have ESP.
Whoa didn’t realize I haven’t posted for three days. :P
90 days to go. . .And contrary to popular belief, sadly I do not have ESP.
Likewise
And if you’re in Iraq, godspeed and get home safe!

Can someone explain to me how this works? We “sign” him to a 4 year deal, yet if he doesn’t make the 53 man roster (which is likely to happen) he goes to our practice squad, right? And on the practice squad any other team can come and pick him up, right? Does that mean the other team has to pick up his “contract”? It just seems to me like “signing” someone in this case doesn’t mean much if anything at all.
I can't wait for Mango's sig to say "0 days to go".
He's only signed to a deal
if he makes the 53 man roster. We did the same thing with Bear Pascoe
I was right, you were wrong.
It would be nice if he made the team
Any time you can pull a gem out of the 7th rd that can contribute it’s a real valadation of the job the scouts and staff are doing. I’m pulling for the kid since CB is a need for us!
i agree
any youth and energy to the CB position is much needed lets hope for the best from him!
It's all good!
I could see it happening. A CB corp consisting of Clements, Spencer, Brown, James and Adams seems OK to me. I can believe that Adams could beat Paymah and Smith for that #4 or #5 CB spot.

Paymah maybe...
but I can’t see him beating James. James’ production last year will likely see him competing for starting nickel or #4 CB depending on how he grasps the playbook. Adams is likely to be #5 at best.

"Battle at the Bottom"
James, Paymah, Smith, Stoudamire, Adams, Brock…who will emerge victorious?!?!?

Phillip Adams is our future.
Just sayin’.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

I dont know much about Adams, so it’s hard to say. I just know that I like Stoudamire and I fully expect him to have a good preseason.
"I'm blessed..... Thanks, God bless" ...hey, it worked for Tim Tebow.
He’s Damon Stoudamire’s (the ex Portland Trailblazer) cousin (not that it holds any significance).

What about Amar'e (spelling?)

I think it’s great we got both. They’ll get a fair chance, I fully believe that, and the better guy will win. I’d go for Stoudamire as well, though admittedly none of us are Phillip Adams experts, haha.

I’m interested to see what Adams can do since I havent had the opportunity yet really.
"I'm blessed..... Thanks, God bless" ...hey, it worked for Tim Tebow.
I wonder what the chances of both making the team are? Harris is gone, Bly is gone. Paymah and James will have their work cut out for making the squad.
We know for sure the following guys will be on the team:
1. Clements
2. Spencer
3. Brown
And the competition will be between the following for 1 or 2 spots (note: some could make it on ST’s, not as CB):
Will James
Tremaine Brock
Keith Smith
Phillip Adams
LeRoy Vann
Patrick Stoudamire
Karl Paymah
"I'm blessed..... Thanks, God bless" ...hey, it worked for Tim Tebow.
I am thinking the CB depth chart would go like this:
1. Clements/ Brown
2. Spencer/ James
3. Paymah/ Stoudamire (PS?)
"I'm blessed..... Thanks, God bless" ...hey, it worked for Tim Tebow.
Idk if Vann will make it
Ginn, Williams, and a couple other starters or back ups will provide us with enough depth. I think Vann will be equivelant to this years Kory Sheets. He will do really well and some will fall in love with him, but ultimately I think he will be one of the 30 being cut.
"I'm blessed..... Thanks, God bless" ...hey, it worked for Tim Tebow.
Possibly
depends on how well he does during the pre-season.
If he has a really strong pre-season I think we keep him on the roster for a few weeks at least to see how he handles regular NFL competition
I was right, you were wrong.
The first thing that came to mind when I read this
Otis Amey. Hopefully he’d stick around a little longer than Otis did!
90 days to go. . .And contrary to popular belief, sadly I do not have ESP.
so..
would 2 kick-off returns for touchdowns and 1 punt return for a touchdown during preseason be good enough for him to make the team?
I can't see how it wouldn't
might not keep him on there if he doesn’t perform but that kind of pre-season performance would almost have to give him a spot
I was right, you were wrong.
whats up with James just watching today?
Yet the rookies got reps?? They said “while he learns” what makes him have to learn more and take less reps than an undrafted rookie?

I think today was more about the 2nd and 3rd stringers
get them more reps
I was right, you were wrong.
James has experience already...
he just needs to take in the playbook and get the assignments down for each play. The rooks have to adjust to an entirely different tempo than they’re used to. Don’t think it’s a big deal, plus I want those rooks to take as many reps as possible. Maybe we got a guy who can really compete.

What about Will James?
I still remember Terrail Lambert.

There's 83 players currently rostered
That means 30 will be cut… or signed to the practiced squad.

props
to the MEAC conference.

-The Samurai
Alex Smith is garbage...
This is good...
now the coaches can focus on the other CB prospects we have and determine if they offer anything over this guy. He’s got a contract, so if no one out plays him, he essentially gets a roster spot. But if someone else really shines, they have a measuring stick.
