STRENGTHS
Adonai has the size and overall athleticism you look for in a receiver for the next level. He has good hands to catch the ball when he runs any type of route. Adonai Has the size and bulk to handle lining up at any receiver position in any style of offense. He has shown in the combine to have surprising speed. He shines when he is in the Red Zone and because of his size and hands, he can be a weapon and a touchdown maker. His overall game in general, seems to perk up when the end zone is in his sight. Adonai has the potential to be a better receiver at the NFL level than he has been at the college level if he works hard and wants it bad enough.
CONCERNS
Adonai lacks the passion to run his routes and go for the ball consistently. Some of this might be because he came to Texas from another system, and some of it might be from a lack of work ethic to learn a new system. He also struggles to block and unless he is lined up in the red zone does not play to the speed he showed at the combine. He is slow off the line and slow to separate when running his routes unless he is in the Red Zone.
BOTTOM LINE: 4.11
Bottom line, there are too many accomplished, smart, and passionate receivers in this draft, to coddle Adonai and hope he develops into the player his talents suggest he can become. Maybe if Adonai is not drafted until later rounds it will be just the shock he needs to develop quickly. He does have the size and athletic talent to be considered as one of the top receivers in this draft. Nevertheless, it’s all up to him to prove it was a mistake for any team to pass on him and until he proves that, for this draft, coddling him and hoping he will develop is not something most teams will want to do, I would think. For me personally, with the number of quality receivers in this draft, it would be hard for me to list Adonai in a Draftable round. That being said I did give him a 4th RD grade because there are 32 teams who most likely will disagree with me along with Adonai, and of course, all of his relatives whom I’m sure I will be hearing from, very soon.
