First thing that pops off his highlight reel is that he made plays against top sec teams, not just the bottom dwellers and non-cons.

Second is that when he make contact with ball carrier his feet stop.

 

[57packer]

He's got some game and is a pretty good athlete for his size. He'll probably be in the mix in the DL rotation right away. I think it's safe to say the Christian Ringo era is done and if everyone stays healthy, it's possible Guion never comes back from suspension.

Grade from the draft sites:

CBS
Montravius Adams | DT, Auburn Height: 6-4 Weight: 308 This is a player who I liked more than the scouts. He can get lazy, but I like him. B+

S.I.
MONTRAVIUS ADAMS, DT, AUBURN
GRADE: B
Can the Packers get Adams to keep the light flipped on? The Auburn product flashed dominance at times, and he can bring it from several spots in the 3-4 alignment, but the glimpses of brilliance only made his long quiet stretches more frustrating. With Kenny Clark and Mike Daniels already in place, Adams could be eased into action.

Green Bay Packers: Montravius Adams, DE/DT, Auburn: B Grade
I thought Montravius Adams was going to be chosen a bit earlier than this, as he's an athletic, interior pass-rusher. However, he struggles to defend the run and doesn't have a very good motor, so I'm not crazy about this pick. I think it's fine, as he can be a decent rotational defensive lineman

 

[Crease Creature]

The first thing I was going to look up while I'm stuck at a conference all weekend was this dude's motor. That's a common point on all three reviews that 57 posted.

Getting rotated in, you can't take plays off.

He seems to use his hands and quickness well.

 

[GBP4EVER]

This to me I am very meh on. From what I read this guy is a rotation run defender and pretty much nothing more. Big body to eat up space inside. Don't know if that was really worthy of a 3rd round pick. From what you have to figure is that this guy might replace Guion on the roster.

 

[rpiotr01]

What exactly is our defensive front 7 alignment? I don't know how this guy fits.

 

[Dubz41]

He's got some length to him, could play the 5 tech and slide inside for passing downs. He improved each year at Auburn. Ran a 4.87 at 310 pounds. He'll be a rotation guy so the motor thing should get coached out of him. Easier to give it your all when you only play 40% of the snaps.

 

[44blitz]

A undersized Nose tackle that you plug in on certain downs. Depth pick more then anything. He has some upside but from what I can see on film is a little lazy as well. Not a bad pick in round 5 but in the lower end of 3 it feels like a reach.

Not a real technical fan, but isn't the bold supposed to describe somebody built like Guion or Pennel, maybe Price. At a listed 305, this guy immediately registered as an outside player. I realize Daniels and some other smaller guys around the league do very well inside, but that's why they're big names.

Sounds like a typical Auburn tackle, lots of God given talent, lazy as hell, under achiever....bust in the making.......still hasn't addressed the urgent need of a pass rusher....I wanted Biegel, believe he will be better than Watt.....but would've taken any edge rusher who could've possibly contributed
