I really don't think the picks they have gotten have filled any real holes.

It sure would be nice to see a guy actually get on the field and make some plays for once.

I get what you're saying about it not really being a priority but a guy like Hooker could really make up for losing Nelson back there and help the young CBs as well.

Would be huge mistake to pass on Malik Hooker at 9.  He is the consensus #4 or #5 overall talent in this draft.  He is one of those players at his position, that only comes along once every 5-10 years.  Not because of his overwhelming speed, size or hitting ability, but his intelligence as a football player and knack for being in perfect position to make a play on the ball. This is a guy that within his second year in the league, gives your defense a new identity.

If he's still on the board at 9, that means that a few teams definitely reached for need, over best on the board.
