I guess so, but I don't see that stated directly in most takes on him as a prospect, unlike for instance Callaway, or other players who fell due to injury or medical concerns (Maurice Hurst etc). Is there a take that says he'd be a top 15-20 pick if it wasn't for the off field stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to many had him falling all the way to 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this is more indication that there is no way to eliminate subjectivity from the evaluation of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krauser Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 The few completions Hughes allowed in man coverage in college were almost all like this — tight coverage, well placed throw, WR has to make a contested catch. If this kind of play is all he gives up, Hughes is going to be really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help but think that Hughes (and or other DBs) having to go against 2 top-10 WRs and a top-10 QB everyday in practice is extremely good for their development.

vike daddy Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Spielman: “We did a lot of homework, not only on him but any player that we felt had any type of issue. We spent a lot of time with a lot of people that had him in their football programs. We spent a lot of time with people outside the football programs. And after our extensive research, no question we felt very confident about him coming in and being a Minnesota Viking.’’ https://247sports.com/nfl/minnesota-vikings/Article/Mike-Hughes-pretty-close-to-signing-rookie-deal-with-Minnesota-Vikings-118811580 article also says he is close to signing a contract, for $9.9 million over four years and a $1.8 million cap hit this year.

swede700 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Unless something goes awry, I sense that Hughes will be the starting nickel Week 1 of the regular season, with Mackensie and Newman being the primary backups outside to both Xavier and Waynes.

SemperFeist Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Still think that the nickel job is Newman’s to lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithVikings28 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I think Mike Hughes is going to end up being very very solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
