The Hawk cut was simply addition by subtraction. They now have more money to sign/ resign players that contributed at a higher level than Hawk did or can in the future.

This cut does not tell me that Ted has put himself in a corner forcing him to go ILB in the 1st round. With the extra money he has to work with having cut both Jones and Hawk I do think what will happen is Ted will dip into FA to get an ILB with experience. Even if they happen to get the best ILB in the draft they will not have proven players (Barrington is working on it) in the middle.

My guess is they bring Lattimore back, draft one low, and bring in a solid veteran. I think it's the best way to create the depth and competition needed to upgrade the position. IMO it makes sense to let go two mediocre players and have the extra cash to bring in one good one. I highly doubt Ted will risk the middle of the defense to a couple of players with a total of 1 years experience. Now they may WIN the job in camp but you don't go to camp with no experience the only option.

PS: I put $500 on Hawk getting cut in the King of the Off Season contest. Saw it coming a mile away.

I ran it a few times and the running theme seemed to be I wound up with McKinney after trading down a couple times.. This wasn't ,my highest score but seemed to me to be the best not only by value but filling need/

My score was in the 5500 range.
I have found that skill position players on offende Will usually score higher, so I tend to not worry about the grade and try to draft who I think The Packers would.

Seems to be alot of value still available in rounds 3/4 so ended up dropping back twice and still getting great value. Mid round WRs are always a good shout and felt I filled in most team needs!

This was a draft where everyone must have decided they needed to move up to reach for defensive players and they kept throwing more third round picks at me. So I decided to go with it, and just kept taking thirds to move down in the second.
