2017 NFL Mock Draft: First-Round Projections after Week 10

The Houston Texans are missing J.J. Watt dearly this season, but even when he returns, there are a couple of holes in that secondary that the team will need to address. Cornerback and safety play hasn’t necessarily been terrible this season, but with how much talent there is at those positions this year, they should strongly consider finding a long-term option.

At safety, LSU’s Jamal Adams continues to make a case as one of the most impressive players at the position in college football. At 6’1” and 211 pounds, Adams is comfortable playing up near the line of scrimmage to attack ball carriers.

In the passing game, Adams can match up with just about anyone, whether that’s a tight end of slot receiver. There are questions as to whether or not Adams can defend the deep ball or make open-field tackles, but that won’t stop Adams from being a first-round pick.
