[Stephen]

I think he has 5 in just the 2 games vs Bortles

[RockThatBlue]

Assuming he starts, I'll say 3 to 5.

[wig]

4.

[Jesse Lafantaisie]

5-7 16 games

3-5 10+/- games.

 

I would think hes going to start from day one. Don't see TJ Green starting over him.

[ColtsBlitz]

I had this thought in my mind after we drafted him. I thought 3, but man is he special.  I watched when we drafted him on ESPN on YouTube and I hated how much Gruden disrespected him by saying "that's way to early for this kid". I was genuinely triggered, and I like Gruden. I lost some respect for him after that unprofessional showcasing of his character. 

 

Edit: Let me put it this way; I don't see Malik hooker not getting at least one pick. His instincts are gifted, but against better QBs, he is going to have to watch some film to not get looked-off and burned. Luckily for him there aren't many good QBs we face this year besides Big Ben, Mariota, and Russel Wilson.

Hooker will be healthy come season time assuming he doesn't get hurt in camp or preseason. I can't wait to see how he develops

[ColtsBlitz]

I also have a good feeling about Quincy Wilson. He has the confidence of Sherman and Ballard made it sound like he has great work ethic.

I agree. Gruden like guys who can tackle and so didnt care for the pick but if you draft a guy who could lead the league in ints how can that not help the team

If you watch some film, Hooker doesn't even have trouble tackling; he just takes bad angles. I watched more film on him today and he is actually a hard-hitter and great tackler at times. He is stereotyped I feel and his tackling will not be as bad as we may think. 

[Stephen]

He could pick off golf two or three times. i think he overrated

I watched the film and even veteran safeties sometimes take bad angles.I think he will be fine.

[jvan1973]

Anything less than 20 he is a bust

Anything less than 10 sacks and the 'Fire Ballard' shirts are being printed.

Yeah. Goff definitely needs some work, as long as it's after Hooker picks a few off of him. 

[Architects08]

4 INT (one pick 6)

Are you, or is anyone familiar with our db's coach?  Hopefully he can send Hooker in the right direction.

That is sick.   That was when teams ran the ball more than passing.  He was also an enforcer in the secondary.   Great player

[Andrew Luck fan club]

I hope he gets a couple from Watson alone

when Deion Sanders is called the greatest DB in NFL history, I remember the stories about this guy

..I think he had 14 interceptions in 12 games, too.....

..and this is probably before anyone used any kind of zone coverage

man to man ...........and he just devastated receivers...

[SP_21]

I think Hooker snags 8 INTs. Our division is filled with inaccurate gun slinger type QBs ( looking at you Bortles and Watson). A guy like Hooker who posses great instincts and range should be ecstatic about his chances. 

 

Hasn't Hooker already picked off Watson multiple times? Will be just like old times

Ed Reed led the league in interceptions in three separate years. His highest league leading total was 9 (twice) and 8 the other time.

 

Trivia question: What legendary QB led the league in defensive interceptions one year with 11?

Ill give him between 2-6.

[GoColtsWin]

4-5 would be a great start for him, then we will see what he gets for the other 14 regular season games..................;) But seriously 4-5 would be a great way to start his career here w/the Colts. Anything more would just be icing on the cake for me personally. 

 

[Combsey]

I am gonna say 8

[Imrryr]

Better be close to or more than ten for us to have given up foster and allen

You think Watson is going to be playing in Houston right away?

Where they drafted him and what they gave suggests yes.

 

What their GM and Coach are saying suggests hell naw.

 

For at least the first game we play them, the Texans QB will be Savage.

[aaron11]

I think it will be in the 2-4 range

 

[CR91]

Had a dream Hilton beat his man deep and luck threw a beauty then out of no where hooker beats Hilton to the ball

Do you not already have yours in the closet? I've been wearing mine since before we fired Grigson!

Obviously wasn't trying hard enough and was a bust. 

[Jact.stark]

He is gonna have 8 ints, (2 from Watson(week 7,12), 2 from Bortles(week 9,17)).
He has a lot of range and the QBs are gonna test him and they are gonna lose, he's a ballhawk, he is gonna be ready for the training camp but the staff is gonna take it slow then mid season he is gonna play on passing downs.
