Handcuffed Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 He's the #1 FS in the draft and probably a top 15 pick. He announced he'd be returning to school about a month ago but changed his mind. Definitely should be a top target for us.

Barastyr Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 I haven't done a lot of looking up on Adams from LSU, but I know many people here was wanting him, however I think that was with the assumption that Hooker was going to return. How do they compare in everyone's eyes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcibiades Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 IDK....I think Adams might still be better, but with Hooker declaring, I'd be more willing to trade down a bit from 5 and get more picks. I don't think the difference is THAT big between them. gnawed 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaskill15 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 If we draft him, there's a 99.9% chance I'm gettin his jersey. MamlngEnvy, woolfolksunclesuncle, and efus50 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieTitanFan08 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 this is huge, he is considered one of the true "elite" players in this draft. many consider him to be the only player to ever rival Ed Reed's coverage range, take a look at that INT he had in CFB playoff game against Clemson shows what he is capable of in one play.

How do they compare in everyone's eyes? Hooker is a ball hawk who can let you stay in base packages against 3-WR sets more easily. Adams is a hitter who can fill up the box on short-to-gain downs. Against Andrew Luck (and with our secondary in general + with Byard's skillset), I'd rather have Hooker. But they're 1A and 1B.

prometheus Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Both Adams and Hooker will be gone by #18. Alcibiades, AussieTitanFan08, and cenj 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcibiades Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Just now, prometheus said: Both Adams and Hooker will be gone by #18. Agreed, unless Peppers declared. Would three safeties all be gone by 18? Soxcat 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prometheus Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 DK if all three would be gone by 18, but safety has been a position that has increased in importance since the increase in pass-oriented offenses. That is one of the Titans' needs, and will be same for others. pro Alcibiades 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercalius Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 I would be ok with taking Hooker at 5 if the stud rushers are gone and Berry isn't a real possibility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
big2033 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 For those not familiar here's how Walterfootball and scouts supposedly see him: image: http://walterfootball.com/college/OhioState_logo.gif Malik Hooker**, S, Ohio State Height: 6-2. Weight: 205. Projected 40 Time: 4.47. Projected Round (2017): Top-10 Pick. 12/10/16: Hooker has been one of the breakout draft prospects in 2016. He has totaled 67 tackles with five for a loss, .5 sacks, four passes broken up and six interceptions with three returned for touchdowns this season. The evaluators who love Hooker feel he is a safety who can do it all. In coverage, he is fast and athletic with the skills to defend the deep part of the field. Sources also say Hooker has the length and strength to play in the tackle box. They also like how Hooker drives down on the ball. They feel he is a fast, rangy defender with good ball skills. Right now, they think Hooker is on his way to being a top-20 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Two top national scouts from NFC teams said that Hooker's skill set is the best they've seen from a safety since Eric Berry. They like Hooker more than Jamal Adams, Jabrill Peppers or Marcus Maye. One scout said, in his opinion, Hooker could end up being an elite safety prospect comparable to Berry or the late Sean Taylor. Many in the scouting community feel that Taylor was the best of the best in terms of safety prospects this century. Both of these scouts believe that Hooker is a future top-10 pick. Some other team sources said they have been impressed by Hooker, but at this point, think he would be rated behind Adams and Peppers for them. Numerous team sources believe that Hooker is going to end up being their top-rated safety for the 2017 NFL Draft.Read more at http://walterfootball.com/draft2017S.php#9KA78YoIbBsuOMfy.99 Alcibiades, and Trump2020 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
