2017 NFL Mock Draft: 1st-Round Projections after Week 5

There is so much talent on the Houston Texans defense, but there’s a pretty noticeable weakness at free safety with Andre Hal manning the position. As you’ve seen so far, this draft class is filled with first-round-caliber safeties, and there’s yet another one that the Texans could take a look at.

LSU’s Jamal Adams is a such an intriguing prospect because he can match up with anyone, whether that’s a slot receiver or a tight end. He’s aggressive and can make plays at the line of scrimmage as well.

Adams still needs to prove that he can consistently cover the deep ball, but the LSU prospect has the tools to be a complete package at the safety position in the NFL. If he can live up to expectations, teams will struggle to score points against Houston in 2017.
