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

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
