It seems it was thought he would go much higher and fell to the Colts, so I will take it, despite my initial hesitation about him.

If he can pass cover deep, and that seems to be his best quality, its a plus.

Now the D needs a #2 corner and pass rushers.

I'd say trade up for a pass rusher in the 2nd (too many good ones left to have them all evaporate before our pick) and sign one of the FA corners, they'll be hurting for a job at this point and shouldn't cost much. I don't think we can count on teams being as stupid tonight as they were last night.

I am happy with the pick. The Colts give up too many big plays in the passing game. If Davis is healthy we don't need a top flight #2 corner, we can double the WR1 with Hooker and CB2 while Davis shadows the WR2.

I'm not sure any of the remaining pass rushers are much better than what the Colts already have. CB on the other hand...

I like Tim Williams and Carl Lawson a fair amount as pass rushers...but it's entirely possible one or both will be available in the 3rd round.

I think our best pick from a needs standpoint would be Zach Cunningham, who may very well be there at 2.15, which would be fine.

I could be talked into trading up right now to go grab Dalvin Cook. Flame away.

I won't be that upset if we do take a CB, we could use one (or two). But the cupboard is still bare at OLB, we don't have much pass rush, and there are no veteran options just sitting out there like there are for CB.

Hooker upgrades the entire secondary, but adding pass rush pushes QBs into bad decisions quicker. Pass rush and a ball hawk safety benefit each other greatly.

Joe Mixon or Alvin Kamara over Cook for me. I'd rather wait until at least round 3 on a RB.

I agree that pass rush is still a major need, but I just don't think the value is there in round 2. I'm almost certain that a CB will be the top remaining player on their board at 2.14. Given that it's still a significant need, I would not have a problem with that.

This is a multi-year process. Even if they come out of this draft without a pass rusher, it can still be a major step forward if they shore up the secondary, add a quality RB, ILB, etc.

My preference has always been one of the 4th rounders for the RB, but we'll see how the board shakes out.

I would rather wait till the 4th and hopefully Oklahoma RB Samaje Perine is still there. Powerfull kid can get the tough yards, but not a burner?
