    Indeed.


    I personally like Jamal Adams but he has his own issues (lack of production in big games being one) more than Hooker.

    Hooker is by no means lacking "it", but it may take some more time than others believe. Some say he will get "it" by year two overall. For me it depends on who he goes to.


    If it is a team like San Diego, year two. If it is New York, possibly year three.



    Either way, this safety class is so deep and talented it is ludicrous.

    Who would that be?


    Haason Reddick?

    Gareon Conley?

    Mike Williams?

    Jamal Adams?

    Marlon Humphrey?



    Whomever "that guy" is has to fall into the 20s and no sooner. Way too high even if Colbert did it once.

    None of these guy's above I would move on. I would move on Malik Hooker
    as I have said in previous posts I would include Martavious Bryant, Mike Mitchell,Cockrell.to our trading partner. The new team gets three starters for our
    chance to draft a game changer.

    As strange as I find it, Kiper had Hooker going 17th and Mayock had him going 19th.

    There may be something that us fans aren't seeing that the insiders know. Maybe he is more injured than we know.

    Yeah I saw that Mayock had him going later. With all the hype around him I was surprised by that.

    A diluted sample is counted as a positive. There is no diluted positive.

    Indeed. I was also surprised by this. Then again, given the fact he has only one year of production in addition to that injury, some teams may kick him down a bit.


    That would change the complexity of the draft from 20 onwards in the first.

    I don't know man I'm just saying what Mike Francessa in NY on WFAN has been saying and he even repeated it yesterday. I know I keep hearing he tested positive for a diluted sample but it isn't clear whether or not they were able to still find a positive in the sample....it's pretty confusing either way I don't really care unless he ends up with us,which I doubt...but if he does then it will concern me....

    I'm not the Grand Poo-bah of pissing, but they can test the concentration levels of drugs in the sample. Let's say for example, the cut off for mary jane is .8%. If they detect .3% but find the sample is diluted from the guy drinking too much water then maybe they characterize that a "diluted positive", since the drug metabolites (or whatever) was found?? IDK, just going off what I've experienced. I was up on the North Slope of AK doing a job for BP and a guy tested positive for the sticky icky and he was barely over the concentration level. They seemed to know the concentration level pretty accurately though. I'm sure the NFL has way more sophisticated testing procedures. I'm guessing they call it diluted if it doesn't have a certain level of salts or electrolytes. That's a guess on my part though.
