Looks like he spent most of his time at Guard

Angelo has a big ego thinking his O-line can just have one major upgrade.

We needed two upgrades, and even though he picked an OL now, its the freakin' seventh round. At least pick up somebody that had mid round talent!

Ahhhhhh!

Tell me about this guy fellas?

Overall: During his first three seasons (2005-'06) Adams played in 34 games (11 starts) at offensive guard. He was switched to right tackle during the spring of 2007 and is expected to be the full time starter in the fall. It will be interesting to see how Adams fares at tackle this year because he may be a better fit there. While he isn't strong enough to consistently drive defensive tackles off the ball, he's big enough to hold his own against most ends. The question is whether or not he'll be quick enough to hold up in pass protection.

He faced some of the better defenses in the country so he has that going for him. I think it's obivous that the Bears will not select a QB in this draft.

FWIW - ESPN's scouting report is from last year.

He's a big tackle, 6-4, 335 pounds. He was an OG in 2006 but was moved to RT in 2007.

"Tom Silverstein, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports the Green Bay Packers have been showing interest in University of Georgia OL Chester Adams."

Angelo is trying to screw the Packers over in the 7th round. Good work JA.

He's big and he can play guard. I'm expecting Bob Sapp type greatness.

So, you're expecting us to cut him after a season?

I don't think Sapp made it out of training camp.

After some research this guy played RG in 2006, then moved to RT in 2007.

He was also the most improved lineman award, whatever that is.

If this guy can play some RG, and we shift Garza for LG, I'm fine with that. (also St. Clair as the 6th guy) Obviously if he improved from 06 to 07, and moved to the outside he improved his speed and efficiency in movement. Probably not quick enough to be a tackle in the league but if he can be run blocking guard I'll be happy.

beekman should be competing for the starting spot
