cant wait Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 one of the most electric playmakers at safety (+6'2") in a very long time, drawing comparisons to ed reed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMan77 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Ya he's awesome... A lot of the mocks I've seen since he declared have Tenn. grabbing him at 5... But I could see them wanting to pair one of the RBs with Mariota, so maybe he'll fall to us. If he doesn't I'll be OK with Jamal Adams too, if they go safety. Both guys seem to have tremendous instincts and awareness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their needs are WR and all DB's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 The real estate this guy covers is ridiculous. I know they got throttled but he made a pick vs. Watson in the playoff game that was totally Ed Reed like...he's sooooo good. I cant find anything to copy and paste but this play was just impressive. http://www.cleveland.com/osu/2016/12/ohio_state_football_watch_mali.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adoni Beast Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Id take him or Jamal Adams. Hooker has the pick 6 home run ability more so than Adams, but Adams is a better tackler and more versatile. Either player is a game changer and QB of the secondary. Im usually against taking safeties in Rd1. But all for getting either of these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree, safety usually seems like a waste to draft that high but these kind of playmakers nullify positional value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Mart Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Ian Rapoport @RapSheet OSU star Malik Hooker had core muscle surgery from William Meyers. Struan Coleman did the labrum. He was told he'd be ready by training camp And had interceptions in both his last two games while playing through injuries. Still a top 10 guy Matt Miller @nfldraftscout Malik Hooker had surgery Tuesday on a torn labrum and a hernia that he played through late this season. He will miss the Combine.

PepPep Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 So a couple of things. Tenn will probably take Hooker, at least that is my prediction right now. But its hard to mock players by a teams' need in the top 5. Often times they go BPA. In this case, Hooker is a combination of both. Although I think if Hooker fell to 6 he should be a serious consideration for the Jets. Tenn taking him gives the Jets a better opportunity to land Fournette, a top 2 QB, Allen or use any of the 3 as trade bait to trade down. So its really not a bad scenario, IMHO. Worst thing that can happen is Allen is there and there are no trade takers. Then the Jets are stuck with option A. Taking another D-lineman as BPA. or B. Passing on a stud talent like Allen just b/c he is D-lineman. Macc does not do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man I hope Cleveland drafts Garrett, Trubisky falls to 6, Cleveland loves him trades us the 12th, and 33rd for 6, we take Hooker at 12, trade back into 1st grab Mahomes.

William Meyers is the Philadelphia guy that "invented" the "sports hernia." It isn't really a hernia, so much as tearing of the core muscles from the hip. He does a ton of surgery. Go to him and he will cut you too. JPP went to him for a 2nd opinion this year and was getting the operation by the end of the week. As far as I can tell he is excellent, but the only game in town. Pretty sure he did Kelce and Abraham too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES! This is the trade I have been clamoring for. It makes sense for both sides. BUT I think Hooker will go #5 overall to Tenn. I would take S.Jones-CB, Washington at 12. Then I would hope and pray that Ramczyk, Cunningham, Harris, or McKinley were there early in Rd. 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the jets might try to trade out, but if there are no takers to come up they will have to stick and pick and although I hate to say it, as much as I really want then to take a "foundation" type position, QB, LT, edge rusher, if they get an impact type difference maker that is what really counts this team is such a mess they will need 3 drafts to fix it, so what really counts is getting a stud to start things off I could live with Garrett, Hooker, fournette but please god not Allen, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to start getting difference makers. Allen would be a terrible pick. If Mac drafts Allen, he should be fired before the second round begins.

Beerfish Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 No matter who we draft the guy has to be a big impact player right away unless we trade down. If Mac even slightly whiffs at 6 he can place his name amongst our other failed GMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be my choice, but he could come in and be a dependable day one starter with the potential to become so much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
