Los Angeles Chargers

Perfect draft pair: Ohio State S Malik Hooker (Round 1, pick 7); Cal QB Davis Webb (Round 2, pick 38)

Brooks on Hooker: Hooker might be the most instinctive player I've seen at the safety position since Ed Reed. He has outstanding awareness. More importantly, he catches the ball when it's thrown in his area. He had 7 picks last season. He's a game changer.

Jeremiah on Webb: Webb could be the heir apparent to Philip Rivers. He's a big pocket passer who can deliver the ball down the field. I think Rivers is still playing at a high level, but you have to eventually find a replacement. The second round is a good place to do it.
