The New Orleans Saints took a different angle than we typically see in 2019 NFL mock drafts, using their first pick to add Iowa Hawkeyes defensive back Amani Hooker. This latest mock comes from Luke Easterling over at Draft Wire, and extends to seven rounds of picks.
Here’s the writeup on Hooker from Kyle Crabbs of the Draft Network:
Amani Hooker projects favorably as a modern age Strong Safety. While Hooker lacks the initial burst and range to play in single high, he’s strong in Cover-2 and in shallow zones thanks to terrific football IQ, clean footwork for sudden transitions and good ball skills.
