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. 

honestly we shouldn't leave FA without a SS and if both of them outplay Coleman then so be it.

Honestly it's going to be a hard decision between him and Adams, you really can't go wrong with either, the deciding factor really is dependent on whether hooker can improve his tackling, but the same could be said for Adams if he works on his coverage, very very hard decision if both are on the board

Hooker is number two on my want list behind Garrett. A FS with incredible range turns your defense into a nightmare for a decade

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 rather have Hooker especially with NFC south WRs.

He still has to have tackling fundamentals. It's a weak point that's obviously not as important for a FS as pass D, otherwise he wouldn't be a top 10 pick.

Its not as bad as you and others are making it. Dude was locking down whole sides of the field in college. If you can't tackle, you can't do that.

We have the best linebackers in the game.  Having an FS with speed and the ability to cover that type of range would be awesome here.

I actually prefer both safetys to favor pass defense in this current era. One of reasons Coleman was moved to SS is to help the rookies CBs. Besides I believe panthers mix and match safetys, they move around and need to be capable of playing both FS and SS.

Hooker is way better in coverage and is a ballhawk. 

Thomas is right up there too.

I won't disagree with that.  Adams reminds me of Sean Taylor tho.  He seems to have the mental make up of a player that will strive to be an all time great.  Adding a guy like him with shaq and luke guys will be in the ice bath after playing us.

With Hooker you could keep two Safteys on the field at all times. Having Hooker is like having a extra DB on the field.

I think Coleman's best position is FS but having Hooker could elevate our secondary and make Coleman formidable at SS.  

Not opposed.  I really like the talent in this draft.

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. 

And did anyone see Carson Wentz going with Jared Goff going right behind him? Lol!!! Wait until after the pro days and combine before you speak about who's gonna be there when we pick. Because right now it's anyone's guess, Mel Kiper Jr.

Not having Tre Boston on the field makes everything better. Colman can actually cover guys as well. If we bring in a guy like Cyprien he only has one trick if you know what I mean. Also Adams would be nice but I doubt he drops.
