I agree. Richardson is a project.Hooker is 6'3", 217 pounds. His 40 time was 4.77, no vertical jump
Richardson is 6'4", 244 pounds and his 40 was 4.43 with a vertical jump of 40.5" (which is astounding, by any measure)
Comparing the draft status of Richardson and Hooker is pointless. Richardson is a far better athlete but not nearly as polished and poised as Hooker, especially in a pocket passing offense. Hooker could start relatively soon for the right NFL team, with a line that can protect him. Richardson is a project, but with tremendous upside in the right offensive scheme and can be a dual threat more than Hooker. I cannot think of a team where both would fit, not in the short term anyway, and so its truly apples and oranges.

That would be the GM admitting he is incompetent and should be fired immediately.IT's behind a paywall, but article this morning in the IndyStar about how the GM for the Colts is really high on Hooker and wouldn't mind trading around to pick him up early in the 2nd round...Colts would literally be taking 2 QBS with their first two picks, which is weird.
