AZ54 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 It's just one analysts opinion but it matches my opinion so I like it. (that's a little tongue-in-cheek humor so relax) http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300000077...-2017-nfl-draft Hooker: "He has the best ball skills of any safety I've ever evaluated in college" This is the first time I've seen two safeties in the top 10 let alone the top 5 on anyone's draft board. It's still very early in this process so we'll see how things play out over the next 3 months but from what I've seen Allen is not going to be a dominating player in the NFL. He's blocked far too often by a single OG/OT for my tastes, and I think he benefits from the talent that surrounds him. He'll be good and he'd be an upgrade and improve our Dline but we have huge needs in our secondary. To see Hooker ranked this high is surprising, and he's moving up rapidly on other boards. If we're not drafting a QB, then next biggest need meets draft grade you go with it and forget about the "rule" that S is not a top 10 pick. Adams is up there too in top 5/6 players and I like him a lot, actually like him more than Hooker at this point. This is a passing league and we need players to defend that down the field. Either one of these players really improves the backend of our defense and we should be giving them serious consideration at #3. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/prospectrankings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just put a few secondary players in between. I obviously prefer Allen over those secondary guys, but wouldn't be upset with the pick either way. I just don't want QB at #3, because I don't think they're worth the #3. I like most of his rankings as well, because he has the QBs less inflated than others.
