We have a top 10 safety in Iloka when he has an actual fs next to him. Our problem is we are trying to convert Williams from ss to fs and it's not really working. If we were going to draft a safety I would take fs since we already have 2 legit ss in Iloka and Williams. And obviously hooker is a ball Hawk and a legit fs that is more than worthy of a number 9 pick. Is comparable as a mix of ed Reed and Eric berry. Not opposed to taking safety early just we have no need at that safety position.
Hooker was non existent against the best team in college. I do not want him. I think he is a great player but hes not a game changing player. hes another boring safety. Adams is so much better.
I definitely respect your view of Hooker though. I was a huge fan of him until he was nowhere to be found during the Clemson game. I also think youre right about our safety situation but for once i would love to have someone like Polamalu or Ronnie lot or Fulcher. Not another "coverage guy"
Bengals need a safety thats everywhere, in the box or deep that receivers fear.
