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

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

    I guess an A&M guy wouldn't know about a team playing its best football at the end of the season.

    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.

  • Malik is one of those guys who just "gets it" at the position when you watch him play. He'd be a day one starter for the Browns and no homerism at all would be perfectly fine with him at #12, but he easily may go before then. Heck, again without bias I think he's the best DB in this draft by a large margin to include Peppers.

  • Jamal Adams is a great prospect too. The battle for first DB taken will be between him and Hooker.

  • Malik reminds me of the good Gipson that we saw early... has a real knack for playing FS as a centerfielder.

    Funny story: My wife was a Hooker when I met her. Now she is a Gipson. Let me know if you want to hear it.

  • it would be a great draft getting Allen or Garrett with the #1 pick and picking up either Hooker or Peppers at #12, if either of them are still there. What I fear is that this FO will trade down for more picks and draft more mediocre talent instead of using the high draft picks to draft impact players.

    If he was the dude that made the pic in the endzone during their playoff debacle, then that was a pretty impressive play.

    Hooker is more of a center field free safety

    Peppers is more of an in the box strong safety

    Depends on what the team wants

    Was she good...or just a Fair Hooker?
