Chris Hackett, S TCU

[DaCityKats]

 

Chris Hackett, is listed at 6'2 195 pounds. This looks to be close to his size, based off when I watch him in games. He is from Tyler, Texas, and has been playing on a very good TCU defense. Hackett is a very instinctive safety that has the ability to play single high, on a hash, in a two high look, and in the box as extra run support. Very good open field tackler, and wraps guys up, rather then going for the kill shot. Does lunge tackle, but grabs cloth, and legs to secure tackle to the ground. Had 75 tackles his junior year.

 

 

 

Has played some robber, when he starts high, and fly’s down to play the intermediate middle of the field. Reads the quarterback very well. Does not take many false steps, when breaking on the football.  Have ball-hawking abilities, as exhibited with his 7 INTs.  Takes the proper angles in run support, as well as tracking the football. I think his versatility will intrigue the panthers because he can play both safety spots really well.  Has very fluid hips, and pretty clean footwork with no extra steps when reading and reacting. Will have to show his deep speed, because I do question it. Has to run a decent time 40 at the combine.

 

 

 

Carolina likes to play both of their safeties in both roles, and one of the reasons why Charles Godfrey started. Hackett has shown the ability to play man-to-man coverage, and has the height to match up with tight ends over the middle, and outside. Can blitz from the edge, which Carolina does with its safeties as well. Hackett would be perfect for the panthers. Draft media thinks only 1 safety is worth a top 75 pick, but I think Hackett is a solid 3rd -4th rounder. He is also my 2nd safety, behind Landon Collins.

With the release of DeCoud I'd say it's a sure thing we draft another safety somewhere in this draft. I like Hackett.

Thoughts of James Sample out of Louisville? Like his game as well.

I want a vet Safety. We need help badly. Secondary is our weakest link

Debatable

I would love to grab in second round

i got to find some games of his. Louisville has been producing some DBs lately tho.

Unless we get Collins or Shaq, I want a vet Safety. And I'm not sure if Shaq can really play Safety.

Collins would be s check box at Safety. Shaq looks to be an investment that will payoff in a couple years. I wouldn't mind getting a decent vet there as a stop gap.
