I don't hate the pick given our situation and the amount of picks we have had but I would've rather drafted Tillman to really solidfy the offensive weapons.
I think there is definitely a better than decent chance it ends up being a wasted pick with him just holding a clipboard and playing in mop up duty. But there also is the off chance that Goff does get injured(no matter how injury proof you have been it's still a violent sport where an injury can happen at anytime) and Hooker steps up and not only prevents the season from coming off the rails but actually leads us to a deep playoff run while looking the part.
I think with the amount of picks they had and the few glaring holes they have on the team that type of risk was worth it for them. Again especially considering they were prepared to reportedly give Bridgewater a nice contract to fill that role anyway.
I don't necessarily think the Hooker pick means the end of Goff, it could just be a matter of them feeling that they were in position to take a flyer on him just in case something happens to Goff whether it be injury or ineffectiveness. If Goff continues to excel then worst case scenario is you used a 3rd RD pick on a backup QB, a position that you were prepared to make a "strong offer" to fill anyway.
It would be pretty cool to see St. Brown announce a WR pick. Which makes me think not that it would be the case with St. Brown but how awkward would it be for a current player to have to announce a guy who may end up being your replacement? Like if Swift announced the Gibbs pick or something.
Assuming we actually stay put we got the Bears, Eagles x 2 and Broncos ahead of us. I don't foresee the Eagles taking an X guy with having Brown but there in position where they can afford to take luxury picks so I guess you really don't know.
lol at the Chargers fans, absolutely no reaction when the name was called but as soon as he said he was from USC they suddenly then start cheering and celebrating.
