    • He's not going to work out at all.

Seems like we're going to have to rely on some kind of young player in 2012. Whether it's McClain/Fua, Hogan, Martin, Senn/Williams/Williams, Gettis/LaFell, Barnidge, O-line dudes(too many new guys lol).

Why not put faith in Hogan? He hasn't played many games but I feel like he could be a lot better than Munnerlynn. I think he's also a decent punt returner right?

Drafting D-line and relying on Hogan may be better than drafting a CB with the same D-line.

Build through the draft is big with this team. About the only way they can do that is allowing the drafted players to play. I think DE/OLB will be the top two picks.

I vote yes. Let him compete and start. He's probably finally 100% and will have an actual offseason with the team and defensive scheme.

If it weren't for his injury and checkered past, he'd be a 2 rd pick last year, much like how most of the huddle is clamoring for a CB in round 1 or 2 this year.

I love Hogan. I'd love to see how good he can be.

I think he's too small but he played well in college against bigger wrs like Jon Baldwin.

But I'm sure Rivera will give him every bit of opportunity to try and win the no.2 job.

If Hogan can be the sure no.2 cb, we could easily go DL in the first two rounds. Something like Coples/Still could help our DL instantly on creating pressure, where we could play with what we have at secondary.

Love the thread idea, still worried bout Hogans size tho. He's 5'10? Munnerlyn is like 5'7 or 5'9? We couldn't defend the deep ball for Jack last year. Kirkpatrick is a giant who would have no problem going up for a jump ball with today's big recievers.

One of the knocks on kirkpatrick is that he never really play the ball well in the air. Its really the reason why he got burned when he did, his ball skills are pretty suspect for his height.

If we don't draft another CB this year in the first two rounds, we should ride with Hogan until next years draft.

Agreed, i think if we cant get Claiborne we should just hold off on getting a top talent somewhere down the road and just get some quality depth for this year

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
