2017 NFL Mock Draft: Tennessee Titans select Malik Hooker

With the fifth overall pick in the 2017 Canal Street Chronicles NFL Mock Draft, the Tennessee Titans select:

Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State (6-foot-1, 206-pounds)

Here’s what Saints260912 had to say on the pick:

The Titans are a young team, and the way to make this team continue to grow would be to add to the defense. Now when you watch the Titans, they play in mostly a 3-safety set in which Kevin Byard plays more of a free safety role and the newly acquired Johnathon Cyprien will be the strong safety. With the addition of Malik Hooker, it will immediately fill a major hole in the back of their secondary as well as giving them a playmaker that can create turnovers. So, if you take Hooker, you’re playing him at free safety. You’re kicking Byard to more of a strong safety role, while Cyprien rotates and handles the 3rd safety role, which was utilized a ton. The Titans just need a difference maker on defense, and Hooker may just end up being the biggest difference maker in this class.

Thanks to all the CSC members who are participating in this year's community mock draft. Without your help, none of this would be possible!
