Unfortunately he won't make it past the Chargers.

I think we need to take peppers the guy is a playmaker he is the defensive version of antonio brown or odell beckham. he is exciting to watch and plays with a lot of energy the only player we have on defense that plays with a lot of energy is burfict. if we pass on peppers and he goes to the ravens we will regret it

where is he gonna play? He had 1 interception in his entire college career! Hell probably play safety. I'm sorry but he's a 3rd-4th rounder for me. To play safety u need to have coverage skills and have ints. He didn't his one was last game of his career on a tipped pass. If I'm taking a Michigan player there are 3-4 I'm taking before Peppers.

So, for a young, elite level athlete to have a slap tear addressed in his labrum in an offseason?  No big deal whatsoever.  The sports hernia is much more common than any casual observer might think.  Quick recovery on those, as well.  Youth is definitely on Hooker's side, as I expect he will be fresh and strong in camp for whichever team makes the wise choice of selecting him.

Thanks for this Sunset as i know nothing about this injury.

Still would be very happy with Hooker at 9. Dalvin Cook, Jonathan Allen, Solomon Thomas, Barnett, Cunningham, Foster etc.

Lots of good picks for us. Fournette is really the only guy people are looking at that i don't want for us.

We need a RB but one that is versatile in both the passing and running game. Hopefully one not coming off of injury either like Fournette.

Eh, i like Jabril as a football player and an athlete but he is bad in coverage and would be a project for us.

Big fat no to Peppers in the 1st round. Safety or nickel backer are the only two positions he seems suited for besides returner.

You don't spend a top ten first round pick on a player like this especially us and our history with projects.

Fournette is such a Carolina pick anyways I don't see them passing him up.

He's lucky that he plays safety.  As far as recovery from a labrum, I had the same issue back when I was in my prime (taekwondo) and I wasn't full strength for 6 months.
