Is he that highly regarded

Chucky sure isn't impressed.

[Aces101]

Gruden, Mayock, and Kiper all down on this pick.  I was hoping for Foster or Allen.

[ThorstenDenmark]

Injurie prone dude we got... 

[JRnINDY]

meh

[runthepost]

Bye TJ Green

[BCoop]

LOL at skeptics coming out of the woodwork. Has been rated a top 10 prospect since Day 1 and arguably the #1 safety. Now both networks and posters say it's too early. Give me a break.

[ThorstenDenmark]

e- draft grade

[Colts1324]

I think they all hate the Colts. Lol Hooker is a beast. I'm glad we got him. Great in coverage. Tackling can be worked on.

Passed on Reuben Foster.  Jeez.

I'm thinking Denver may trade up to get him

[LJpalmbeacher2]

Excellent player.

What does this mean from TJ Green. Move to CB?

 

He'll move to the same place most of Grigson's other players have gone.

I heard....wow

[csmopar]

I'd rather taken a CB but I'm ok with this. Gives us some quality depth at safety. I'm not super worried bout his tackling skills, that can be fixed. Seems to always be around the football, I like it

[dgambill]

Foster had bad shoulder diluted sample combine blow up and mental concerns understanding playbook

Heard what?

[Dingus McGirt]

Ah well.  Our powder is now soaking wet.  Nothing until what 46?

To be clear, this team needs players like Hooker. He is now the only ballhawk we have in the secondary. Leave the physicality and tackling to Geathers, Simon, Hankins, etc. This is a perfect fit with a guy that has the potential to be a stud right off the bat.

[weslo1812]

Hooker has alot of talent and potential but  he's gotta get better tackling and has an injury history so hopefully he can stay healthy with us. 

[runthepost]

Now we have safeties that complement each othrr

[Virtuoso80]

I can understand replacing mike Adams as a turnover machine, but who will play SS if geathers isn't 100%

[PrincetonTiger]

Ravens select Marlon Humphrey

Wow.  Hooker really sucks at tacking.  I never thought about him because i thought he'd be gone, but I didn't like at all what I saw on ESPN.

Him and Green can't tackle!  So much for addressing the pass rush!

[dgambill]

Safety went from concern in the offseason to deep now. Lots of options. Not a positions I put a lot of value at but Ballard has watched Berry for last several years and understands it's importance I guess.

[DougDew]

Ozzie Newsome beats Chris Ballard.

[AZColt11]

I'm ecstatic.  This draft fell right for the Colts.  I had thought if Foster was there the Colts would run to the podium to select him but that was assuming that Hooker wouldn't get past the Chargers at #7.  Had NO idea both would still be there and they were my 1A and 1B choices beyond Garrett. 

 

I'm LOVING this!  Now......I will pray that people keep passing on Foster!

That is why I was against him

[Dingus McGirt]

That kid making the announcement for Baltimore rocked.

 

[backshoulderfade]

Humphrey seemed like a Raven from the get go.

[chad72]

I guess the same things were said about Buchannon and Keanu Neal too, meh!!!

But we too a guy coming off a hernia injury? Am I right about that?

Chucky doesn't like the way Hooker takes angles when coming up to tackle.

Our pick was not welcomed as a stroke of genius..

 

but who knows.....its a defensive player.....and we needed defensive help

[PrincetonTiger]

Colts pick was a Basketball star and was late to football

Put him in some Oklahoma drills and let Pagano work his magic.
