My boy! We might have to take him in the 1st! He's getting popular!

+1. Apparently he's on track (health) for the start of training camp.

If the Saints feel as though he's your guy, just take him @ 29. I tend to think we need to beef up the interior D line but wouldn't hate QB as the pick.

Hooker could flop OR end up as the next franchise QB.

IMO he'll be there in the 2nd round but what the hell do I know? I'm just an above-average couch coach

I'm right there with you. It's time we take a QB in the first.

I want the TE from Georgia as well.

I can live with that IF we don't fill the position in free agency. If we do then I feel we should use all of our higher picks for impact players to fill holes.

With McKee gaining in popularity as well, methinks he'll be there at both 29 and 40, but not later. And yes, we do need a TE.

I have been redoing mocks, and the results show McKee moving up the charts. Not sure he is worthy. But one can't argue with his stature, Ben Roethlisbberger-esque. Seems to read quickly too.

What say you... Hooker or Big Ben part deux?

I'm much higher on Hooker. I believe McKee is climbing boards because of his size, but he's always thrown half as many picks as he has TDs, he's never thrown for more than 15 TD's in a college season, and he's relatively immobile in an NFL where you have to be able to move at least a little bit. Hooker is the much better prospect in my opinion.

Big Ben College stats

Tanner McKee college stats

Big Ben's last year was way better, obviously. Other than that pretty similar numbers. Tanner didn't play much his first year. So maybe it could be analyzed as getting Tanner on the cheap since it's year three of Big Ben that elevated him.

Stroud feels like yet another Ohio St QB bust waiting to happen. He has real good WRs making him look way better than he actually is , IMHO.
Ohio St tries to claim BDJ. But they (Urban Meyer) whiffed on him.
