We need more Hawk talk on the GG. Why is there so little support for Hawk at the 4 spot? It's such a given that he's going to GB "ONE SPOT LOWER". Is there such a steep talent drop from 4 to 5? We are looking at this all wrong. F the offense with our first pick, this year we are rebuilding anyway. Big questions about all 3 QBs and D'Brick's run blocking prowess. Mario will not fall to 4 so forget that scenario. Vilman and Hawk, just picture those two demons lining up all over the field in the 3-4, 4-3 defense. Two very smart, impact playmakers terrorizing offensive schemes. If we can add a fat ass NT to the mix with Von OlHoffen and Ellis and possibly a OLB at 29 or 35 I think we would have a formitable D.
Well at least youre not suggesting Hawk as an OLB. The reasons theres probably so little support for this maniac is probably because we are already cluttered at the position, with Vilma, Barton, Kassell, and Hobson. Right now OLB should our biggest concern. At least if we pick Bush, Leinart, Mario, or Davis, they would address a position on our team that is in need of an upgrade. But if the CS dosent have confidence in Barton coming of the injury, or dosent believe that Hobson or Kassell are capable starters, then its plausible that we select him
I was always a proponent of snagging AJ Hawk. he and Vilma would be monsters together. Although we are not thin at Linebacker, if we could drop down a spot or two and grab him I say go and do it.
If you haven't noticed all of the recent FA signings in recent weeks, LB is really not a need for the team at this point in time. I would rather drop a few spots and pick up Ngata. In a 3-4, Vilma won't do anything without quality guys on the D line picking up blockers. We are sorely thin in that area right now.
I don't get it. Hawk is more of a luxury pick than Vernon Davis. He's best suited as a MLB in the 3-4 and we already have Kassel and Vilma.
I would disagree with everyone saying that LB is not a need. I think it is a huge need, only we need OLBs not ILBs. I think Hawk is probably the safest pick in the draft, as much as a sure thing as you get. But he is better suited for ILB, I would rather get the OLB at 29..
the jets need to think offense first, their offense was awful last season, and with the few free agent signings of teague, clement, dwight, and the aquisition of ramsey will not change crap about our offense. we need an offensive player that can have our offense turn the corner, and get us closer to be a 20pt + scoring team. our defense is fine right now, and with our #29, and #35 selections we will surely add a defensive weapon that we could use in the new 3-4 scheme. with the first pick, i'd have to go offense, that being d'brick, or vernon davis.
Hawk+Hobson+Vilma+Barton = Best Lb corps ever! lets take the hawk, tank it again one more year, draft Quinn next year and win the F Superbowl!!!! I am pumped!
Our defense was pretty shitty too. Barrett is a weak CB. 8 yd gain everytime on first down if thrown to his side.
Absolutely, while Hawk would be a great addition there are other top prospects available at positions of great need. LT for example, if we were to drop down a couple spots the I would not be upset at all with Ngata
While I like AJ Hawk he's just a Vilma Lite to me. He's not as dominant as people play him up to be and not near as strong as his Cro-mag appearance. Look at the Mich/Notre dame games. Particularly Notre Dame. He was kinda on smash and had a b!tch of a problem shedding blockers. i don't know how many "reps' he will or has done at the combine but that's nothing to me. In game he looks like a solid LB but a top 10 pick? Hell I haven't heard or seen one thing speaking about his game intelligence. Vilma was lauded for being such an intelligent player but all I hear about AJ is that he's a "beast". What was his Wonderlic? Was he cheating off of Vince Young?
Well i want to know this why in many mock drafts such as foxsports, do they have hawk listed as a OutSide Linebacker? I think he would be able to play the outside. Filling a great need on our part, i honestly think hobson has the talent of a backup in this league.
Hawk is the real deal. Saw him a number of times in person. Was an absolute monster at the ND game; I was impressed the way he welcomed Brady Quinn to the family. (I thought he even backed off on Quinn a couple of times to his detriment.) I'd take him at number 4 if he's available.
