So we draft Hooker.  That means we are shifting Coleman back to SS.  I don't hate this.  But, he is going to need to add a touch of weight. 

95 percent of the guys that come into the professional sports (not just the NFL) need to add weight. I don't know why people act like weight is such big deal.

Oh, my bad, I meant Coleman. He is under 200 lbs.  Usually SS's average between 200-220. When Coleman was forced into the SS role, he was definitely a little light for the position.  If that was to be his full-time position I would expect he would put on a little weight.

He's in need of some coaching on tackling, but big time potential in pass D. Don't see him being available at 8. Chargers seem to really like him, assuming he doesn't get grabbed before the 7th pick.

We don't use a FS as a tackler. We need a FS who is a ball hawk that has range. He fits the bill.

Coleman did well last year at SS and as he ages he will need to be there. The biggest problem with Colman at SS was he wasn't at FS.

I really like his ball skills but his raw in my opinion. I don't think he provides much more of an impact than what Coleman already provides for us so I would pass on him at No.8. 

You obviously have never watched him play. Dude has way more range than Colman. Better hands too.

Hooker needs to be a better tackler but he is probably the closest thing to Earl Thomas.

Tackling is not a huge deal in our system at FS.

The fact that you guys think Hooker will get anywhere near us is funny. Right now it looks like zero QBs are going to be taken top 5, if that happens all the prospects we are eyeing will probably be gone. We will most likely be looking at Barnett, Foster, Davis, Williams. Maybe Thomas.

There is always a wildcard team that takes someone unexpected or another team that trades into the top 10 to get a QB. It's not completely out of question he could be there.

No its not, but we shouldn't expect it. He is a high value safety with incredible range and safety is the hardest position to fill.

Just hypothetical, if both Hooker and Adams were available, I would rather have Adams/Colman at SS/FS than Colman/Hooker at SS/FS.

Colman has proven he is capable of being a difference maker at the FS position.

Thoughts?

I would take Adams over just about anyone other than Garrett

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By nogoodbum · Posted

      Don't take this personal, but anyone who watches pregame or game broadcast on any of the four major networks & can't point out a dozen "experts" that Luke would do a better job than, is just not paying attention. IMO

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
