    I believe he won't be around below the 10 pick, our second (Eagles pick) will be 11-13 ish.

    That makes it more interesting. He's an amazing, really smart football player.

    I'd have to seriously think about it.

      That's great news! He has the instincts and ball skills to lead his conference in INTs (returning 3 of them for TDs) which could really help a position we're weak at right now. I was posting about hoping to add him a long time ago.

      How big is he? Is he a safety that will be up stopping the run or is he more of a free safety guy? The interception I saw in the bowl game made him look like more of a free safety. Had amazing range to get to that ball.

      He's a Free Safety. I've seen him listed at 6'2" and 208 lbs.

          This is one of those guys that you hit a home run with by sticking to the motto of "Take the Best player Available" ... someone regardless of position of need with snag him. Not likely someone is looking for a ball hawking Safety in the first round, but he will be a gem as the best player on the board at some point in day #1 of the draft. Wonder where they have him projected at going in the draft, You'd think someone fed him some indication that he would be an early pick in order to come out early.

              OSU guy! OSU guy! We've got to get him!

              In seriousness I'd be ok with him at some point, we need a top safety and/or corner. But the homerism for OSU players around here is crazy...

                All homerism aside, he's the best safety prospect in years, and would fill one of our biggest holes. Luckily this year there's two safeties that are can't miss, with Adams being the other. I would take either.

                      When is the last day that players can declare? Hooker is not listed on a number of the draft prospect lists. But after that date, everyone that will be in the draft should be known.

                        yea with household names all around the league I'd keep away from OSU guys like they have

                            Sounds like a slam dunk...... although I don't like "they".

                            "They" also said Johnny Drugball would dominate in the NFL.

                              Not an SC fan at all...but can't argue with the turnaround that team made this season. If they aren't a playoff team next year, something is wrong.

                                Fair to say that if Malik Hooker isn't with the Buckeyes this past year, they aren't in a playoff game.

                                It's not all about QB's.

                                  I'd still take Marlon Humphrey over Malik Hooker with that second first rounder.

                                    Completely irrelevant. Stick to facts. You lost 52-6 and they beat your only common opponent worse than you did. If they replayed today, at best it would be the game people expected the first time around. Within two TDs with USC still pretty easily on the losing end.

                                    And I generally like USC.

                                      lol. Marlon Humphrey may not go first round. Having an elite safety will make Haden look like an all-pro again.

                                        Fact is, I don't play for USC, so factually I didn't lose.

                                          When is the last day that players can declare? Hooker is not listed on a number of the draft prospect lists. But after that date, everyone that will be in the draft should be known.
