KD in CA Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 He will universally be viewed as a top 15 pick. It's not a reach in any way. That's good to know. I just get very nervous about those eye popping stats that people get hung up on.
K D Posted January 2, 2017 Author Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Good news is we should definitely be able to get one of them (Hooker or Adams) Edited January 2, 2017 by kdiggz
Kirby Jackson Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 I think that when all is said and done these guys may grade out as high as any safety since Sean Taylor. Does that guarantee that they'll be great, no but I'll take my chances with talent.
EasternOHBillsFan Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/01/02/ohio-state-safety-declares-for-nfl-draft/ BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!! HELL YES!!!!!!
BuffaloBill Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 I am personally not in favor of drafting one-season wonders. Let a guy prove he can bring it for several years before you put a first on them. Amen - especially high in the first round
Kirby Jackson Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 There is an interesting discussion on Matt Miller's twitter right now of Adams vs. Hooker. I think that the Bills should have a shot at 1 of them but probably not both. It's possible that both are off the board. These guys are ELITE prospects, they just so happen to play a position of dire need.

Kirby Jackson Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 I just watched YouTube on Adams. Doesn't look as athletic but he looks like a man. He could step right in day 1Yeah, he's a big kid with a ton of production. He's kind of "idiot proof" as a prospect. He doesn't have Hooker's ceiling but he has fewer question marks. He's kind of like Jake Mathews as a prospect a few years ago. You plug him in day one and he starts for years. He has a high ceiling and a high floor. I really like guys like that in the top 10. Give me a "bust proof" guy, that could be a multi-time Pro Bowler. That's what Adams is to me.Not with the 10th pick!He is on the Bears radar at 3...
K D Posted January 2, 2017 Author Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) If the DC is Bradley I might expect him to lean towards Adams. Big safety that can cover tight ends (Gronk and Bennett) and deliver hits much like Kam Chancellor. Edit - actually it looks like that could be either guy really. Hooker is 6'2". Just needs to bulk up a bit maybe. He's young still, he certainly can do so Edited January 2, 2017 by kdiggz
Coach Tuesday Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 I probably prefer Adams. "Adams" sounds American and downright presidential. Hooker is a guy you can find on the street.
Big74Mac Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 No Thanks. No DB's in the first round. Take those guys in the second and third rounds.
26CornerBlitz Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 No Thanks. No DB's in the first round. Take those guys in the second and third rounds. Earl Thomas and Eric Berry both say
Andrew Son Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Looking good to get an impact player at a position of need at 10! Sign me up for Hooker, Adams, Williams or Davis.
Kirby Jackson Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Looking good to get an impact player at a position of need at 10! Sign me up for Hooker, Adams, Williams or Davis.That's my exact list too at 10!!
BADOLBILZ Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 At worst it deepens the draft and hurts the Blankeyes. Win-Win.
YoloinOhio Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) I am personally not in favor of drafting one-season wonders. Let a guy prove he can bring it for several years before you put a first on them. coaching miscalculation IMO that he wasn't playing last year ahead of Tyvis but incredibly common for elite talent to not see the field until second year after RS if there is an experienced captain ahead of them. Happens all the time. He could play two more years here, but getting him this young is the benefit like it was with Bosa and Zeke, both only 20 when drafted. In fact Tyvis left early too. Had he returned, Captain Hook might still be in waiting. Edited January 2, 2017 by YoloinOhio
HumbleAndHungry Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 some scouts say that malik hooker is the best safety college prospect they've ever seen
mannc Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Not with the 10th pick! You're right--Malik Hooker will be off the board by the time the Bills pick.
Andrew Son Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 You're right--Malik Hooker will be off the board by the time the Bills pick. I'll be ok with that if it pushes adams down
