He's getting drafted earlier than I thought now in dynasty leagues

Where have you seen him going?

I picked him up at auction after our rookie draft was over. 16 team, 6 rounds
Supposedly he's a high round safety that they were lucky fell to them
He's a backup or third safety. Mike Brown filled in pretty well last year.
Hooker is a free agent in 2026 and makes about 11 mil.
I think every good player that's a free agent in 2026 has some likelihood to be traded. New GM, new QB, young team etc.
Not to mention that Quandre Diggs has said he is available for a return. I think he's Brownlee's or Baker's cousin.
If Winston does well in camp he'll be a backup and the future. If he rocks, Hooker will go on the trade block. This is a team that would be pleased to be 8-8 after the worst record.
His predraft stuff is quite complimentary. He had a slight ACL tear that made people doubt him. He's a big boy too. 6-2? 6-3? and that always catches my eye with DBs.
Kevin Winston Jr. Safety Penn State | NFL Draft Profile & Scouting Report
Rating: 84.0 Rank: #15 Forty: 4.50 Winston Jr. is that rare safety who transcends scheme with his run defense and tackling acumen while showing enough versatility to carve out an early role....
Espn-
Nonstarter to know: Cornerback Darrell Baker Jr. A journeyman on his third NFL team, Baker was a shocking No. 1 in coverage DVOA last season among qualifying cornerbacks. But his numbers were strange across the board. He had an average yards-per-target figure, and gave up a high number of YAC when he allowed a reception.

During opening oresser-
Snead on PUP but just the knee everything else is fine. Working with medical staff, great communication from him, talk every day.
Wouldn't comment on his personal situation and if suspension looming
Winston has been great. He's been there almost every day this summer when others went home- watching film and working out. They're excited to see how he'll do and excited about how committed he is

A good defensive day- still shorts.
Barton had one INT and then another on the last play chuck to DMR.
Here's Wyatt's play of the day-
Rookie safety Kevin Winston Jr. has only practiced twice with the team since being drafted third overall, but man, I've already been impressed by him. Winston, sidelined during the offseason while recovering from a torn ACL, took the ball away from tight end Josh Whyle for what I'm ruling an interception. Sure, it could be ruled a catch/fumble, since Whyle initially had possession of the Brandon Allen pass. There's no disputing Winston ripped it away for a turnover before the two went to the ground. It was an eye-catching moment.

I mentioned him above like last week. Please scroll up 
Still shorts. It's so early for him. Second day.
In short, yeah I think if he rocks Hooker is traded. It's very premature.
Predraft writeups, he's essentially a steal. You probably should get him for IDP before his value goes up. Read and judge for yourself but all FF is the same in that if you can get someone with rave reviews late in a draft, you take him. Whats his ADP that determines the risk? I bet he's a great value now

#Titans LB James Williams has improved "leaps and bounds" according to Brian Callahan. He noted how Williams is continuing to make the conversion from safety to LB where the action and viewpoints are different. Williams is in a competition with Cedric Gray, Otis Reese IV for ILB
.
@jwyattsports
Callahan: I'm really pleased with where ILB James Williams is in the competition. We'll find out a lot more when the pads come on

Coburn was released for Jihad Hall who probably won't make the team.
I long believe ya don't cut fine decent DL unless you absolutely must and he was pretty solid at holding his own. With Sweat and Simmons that's really all they're looking for next to them.
The Raiders picked him right up which is another sign they shouldn't have cut him.
He was with the GM in KC so idk if there's some "history" but it seems like a minor bad move

Winston has a would be stuff and another big play today.
Williams had an INT
A good amount of people noticed the defense flying around the field. There weren't stoppages for sacks (touched) and sorta broken plays after led for a nice day for the offense and DBs annoyed. Anyways Williams and Winston were who everyone is mentioning were everywhere.
Only DMR is listed as having catches. The TEs weren't productive running routes and then stayed in because the OL played badly. That's probably a credit to those two.
Last day in shorts but three days in and Winston seems legit

Femi got put in the dirt a few times.
He was owned by Latham and then by Moore and back again to Latham.
Day one of pads was a welcome to the NFL day for him.
Harrell had himself a day and he beat actual NFL starters in this camp so that's good progress for him.
Joseph Day had a couple stuffs. Simmons usual. Almost nothing on Sweat.
By many accounts they threw the book at Ward today and he struggled mightily so a lot of good DB play was really gifts to them and not much to gauge. I suppose they have a plan for the rookie QB and this was on purpose.

Femi won some one on ones today, lost some and also in the dirt by Latham.
"Very active today" and "he's getting after it" tweets so...keep learning rookie, keep learning.
Longtime reporter Jim Wyatt said Winston looks great and could be their top safety for years to come. Wyatt is a legend that has seen it all and is very even keel. He does not say stuff like that. That is an enormous compliment.
Got cursey mute from a video highlight that that curse guy is everywhere.
I can rant long and hard about when everyone supposedly thinks someone is a steal so why didn't they draft him but...whatever, so far Winston looks like it. Other GMs can kick themselves for their decision I guess

Still very little on Sweat.
Simmons I think was on light duty today. A lot of tweets about low reps.
Hooker burned a couple times. Woods on one made a good play on another.
Brownlee had a shut down day.
Baker was toast on a couple deep ones. He got dinged up the day before but returned as expected.
Williams seems a lock to start already. People talk like it's already happened.
Key has done predictably well sorry haven't mentioned him. He's been as you'd expect.
Harrell didn't do anything tweet worthy I guess today. While Femi learns, he's still got a window
