Agreed.

I like this mock. It shores up the defensive line both on the edge and in the interior and adds a potential difference maker on offense. I don’t love Hooker, but I could probably stomach spending a 3rd round pick on a roll of the dice on him.

I was listening to the Athletic Football podcast yesterday and former GM Randy Mueller really liked Hooker and didn’t think his age or injury are that bad. He does seem to have an old man/old school view of players, which is an interesting contrast to the takes of some of the younger analysts.
