I say we go get our man I wonder how much it would cost to leapfrog the Chargers and land at 6th?

More than we can afford to pay.  We need the picks this year.

How good is Hooker really? I've recently seen the Ed Reed comparison. 

 

A month or two ago, I was looking at some of his cut ups on YouTube. It might just be me, but I thought he was a lil bit slow. Imo, I thought he looked a lot like an OLB to me.

Hopefully his stock rise so we get Adams or Fournette

I watched some footage and thought he looked tiny, then saw that he's 6'2''. Strange.

His 40 time is 4.47 so I wouldn't say he's slow. One of his biggest strengths is his ability to cover the whole field.

Dont make this hard. Fournette is about the only answer here. Budda Baker in the second would be effective as an upgrade at safety.

FWIW, Hooker was mocked and ranked higher than Adams earlier in the season in some spots. Hooker is a legit franchise SAF and plays the position almost like a CB.  Very fluid, rangy guy that has a nose for the ball and is a playmaker. I agree that he looks to be shorter than 6'2''. I bet he comes out of the combine closer to 6'1'' max.

OSU has been good to us in the past - Gamble, Coleman, Norwell, Ginn & Philly.
