I wanted an was happy with the Hawk selection. Still am fine with it too. To answer your question, which I think is very easy. Haloti Ngata.

I wanted Ngata, just because of all the problems we had historically finding guys who could stuff the run. Remember when Grady Jackson fell out of the sky that year? Man, that could have been very grim. The first thing Ted Thompson did was sign Pickett as a free agent. That was a foundational move.
But man, Ngata was looking good to me. Still, I have no problem with Hawk, then or now.

Exactly. I mean, in hindsight Antoine Bethea would've been a better option, but he was a 6th/7th round talent. Marcus McNeill would've been great as well, but he was a 5th rounder.

Fact is, Ngata would've been a reach. We picked the guy everyone expected us to pick. I don't blame Ted Thompson one bit for that one. When you look at his college career, there was no reason for him not to produce on a high level. Maybe his ceiling was a little lower than most guys in the top 10, but he'd be solid. No one thought that his ceiling would be this low, though.

Again, I don't mind Hawk, I think that he's a very solid player. It's just that he's beeing overpaid right now for the job he does. If he takes a paycut, I'd gladly take him back.

Maybe Ted Thompson will do something with that cap space then, as well.

I find it curious when some say Hawk is solid but underachieving that all of a sudden we are challenging his worthiness of being selected by the Packers.

Hawk was easily the best linebacker in that draft and we needed help.. it made sense.

Hawk isn't a bad player.. just not playing at the potential some (me) thought he would have looking at his college career.

I like Hawk.. I just wish he was more attacking at the LOS, aggressive in shedding blocks and played with a little bit of pissoffness to him.

I guess that is what I was trying to point out. I was thrilled with the pick and there were not a lot of other options available to GB. DL was not a huge concern. Secondary was fine. You can always use bodies on the OL. RB, WR and QB were set to one degree or another.
Hawk just made sense. If he flew around the field now like he did in college he would get more support from the fans.

I think he has done a pretty decent job as some have said. Maybe not the most glorious players but he has seemed solid and I don't think he makes many mistakes.

Can Hawk play O-Line. I bet he would start there. Even at his size he would probably be better than Colledge.

Hawk played well today. Was good at cutting off angles for the running back and made a few nice tackles. Seemed pretty aggressive and assignment sure. Of course, since he didn't have 2 sacks and an interception, I fully expect people to dog him.

Same for Barnett.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe
