I was and still am absolutely delighted with the pick....he was in my opinion the 2nd most disruptive defensive player in this draft behind Myles Garrett. For him to fall all the way down to us at pick 15 was a dream scenario i never even considered possible. To have had the choice over Hooker AND Allen, was unreal, but looks like the injury concerns for Allen are more of a risk than originally thought.
Hooker is a playmaker who is still learning how to play the position! He will instantly upgrade the entire secondary, allow us to have Butler continue as the nickle corner and primary backup to Hooker. Maybe if Green shows any signs of improvement we can consider the possibility of Geathers playing the hybrid LB role on a more full time basis, with Green, Hooker and Butler on the field at the same time. We still desperately need a starting quality corner, to enable the defensive backs to step up and help improve the pass rush. Without this piece of the defense being upgraded then opposing QB's will just target Melvin constantly and get the ball out early before the pass rush have a chance to get there. I LOVE the selection. |

He's started 1 game since the end of 2014, so probably not?

Bostic obviously has talent since two teams have traded for him, but it's hard to expect much from him given how his career has gone so far.

No he might end up coming into to compete for a roster spot alongside Antonio Morrison, or possibly unseat Edwin Jackson, but i don't really expect him to be anywhere near the starting lineups in any of the formations that we will deploy.
If he makes the roster he will get game time, of course he will, but to spell players, not to be the primary guys in any of the packages. |
