7. Los Angeles Chargers- OSU S Malik Hooker (No contact with team prior to draft)

Offensively: 14th Yds/G, 9th PPG

Defensively: 16th Yds/G, 29th PPG

Team Needs: OL, DE, FS

The Chargers are switching to from a 3-4 to 4-3 defense and will need a center fielder that can change the momentum in games with his play making ability.

This position is important in any defense and especially important in a 4-3. It’s been years since I have seen a free safety with the abilities that Malik Hooker has.

I know he hasn’t been in contact with the team but anytime you draw comparisons to a player like Ed Reed before you’re on the field for one snap is a player to be excited about.
