Now that FA has happened, Hooker makes more sense than Adams as far as needs goes.  I think as of now there's a strong possibility no QB goes in front of us and it'll be something like Garrett, Allen, Thomas, pretty much leaving us with a decision of Hooker or Fournette (with Howard as a dark horse pick).  As much as I like LF and think he'll be a game-changer, I'm almost leaning towards Hooker now.  Gipson hasn't really impressed, but he's not so terrible so there's not going to be a need to rush Hooker in there.  Hooker can rehab and get 100% healthy and work on his tackling.  I'd consider him in on Dime and maybe some Nickel to get more experience until his tackling isn't a liability, then at that point he can take over the FS spot.


IIRC, Gipson's contract allows us to part ways next year pretty smoothly if he struggles.  If he ends up being great, then shouldn't be too hard to trade him, his contract is moderate.
