If we stay put at #2 and decide to take a DB, it would probably be one of the Ohio State guys. Which one would you choose? I would go Malik Hooker all day but I have a feeling if we can't trade down, Lattimore will be the pick.
I think Lattimore is a rare talent but his hamstring and durability issues scare me. I absolutely love Malik Hooker. I think he is the next Ed Reed and as a Canes and NFL fan, I consider Ed Reed one of a kind.

I'm not sure I agree with you that these guys are the most likely if we pick a DB. Hooker is a better fit for single high safety, but Adams can play either safety position and it's possible we'll value the leadership he brings. I'd love to trade down and pick up a 2nd round pick while still drafting one of the 3 DBs or Solomon Thomas.

Jamal Adams. Hooker is very talented but he's too raw to be a top 5 pick IMO. Lattimore is good but to be drafted as a DB you must be fantastic. Both would make fine top 10 picks but Jamal Adams is the only guy I see as worthy of a top 3 pick. Adams floor is high and so is his ceiling.

Raw isn't necessarily a problem right now. The Niners aren't in win-now mode.
Hooker > Adams (either one would be great).

Hooker is being compared to Ed Reed. Won't hurt my feelings at all at #2 if he played like him.

Exactly! I'd take LF or Davis over any of these guys. I want an offensive machine and these are the only two worthy of #2.

Just a scenario IF you had to choose between the 2

Hooker. Take a Fabian Moreau in place of latimore in the 2nd or 3rd, and keep ward in the slot as Redmond insurance.

It's very uncommon to take any S with the #2 pick...I know a number of mocksters have decided Hooker's the guy. I'd agree, he seems ideal to play the deep FS position. Guess it'll boil down to who Lynch & Shanahan see as the BPA. I really hope Lynch can trade down...we could really use the extra picks, especially the 2nd rounder. If that happens, it'll be a whole new BPA scenario in the 1st.

Hooker will be the best safety in football in 5 years. Book it.

I don't think it will be that long!

Hooker is my number two player in the draft. His range is ridiculous. Lattimore at 4th best.

I'm good either way, or with Jamal Adams, but I think as far as fitting what we want to do Hooker is perfect.
