NEW UPDATED CnnSi Mock...Some will like it!

[LtFinFan66]

8		LB	A.J. Hawk	Ohio State	Sr.	6-1	240
In London Fletcher and Jeff Posey, the Bills have a couple of starting linebackers who are past their 30th birthdays. Hawk had great showings at both the combine and his pro day, and he's an impact addition for a defense that tumbled a long way in the league rankings in 2005.

The LAST position I would take if I were the Bills is LB.

That's probably why Hawk will be the choice in April

Personally I hope he doesn't fall to you. I am a Buckeye fan and hate when they go to division rivals. Makes it hard to root for them!: Like Nugent to the Jets last year

Honestly if Hawk is there at 8 I take him.....hear me out.

Firstly the guy is as impact as they come, yes i know we dont need a LB and ultimatley if he is there at 8 and we get a solid deal to trade down sure...

But having a guy like Hawk on my team is never a bad thing.

I wouldnt trade up for him or anything, just saying if hes there.

Oh I love the guy as a player. He will be an impact player for years to come. But if we dont have the right guys in front of him he is screwed. I want to see the DL completed and some OL moves addressed before taking an impact LB. Not only that, we would be backloaded at LB. that would give us 5 starters and can only play 3 of them

I think this draft is pretty acturate up top, i could see us having a pick between davis, Huff, or Hawk. If i were GM, trade down.

I still would like to see marv get on the phone with Bowlen and shanahan and offer moulds and #8 for both of thier firsts!

Re: NEW UPDATED CnnSi Mock...Some will like it!

I'm torn cause I would love him on my team. He would probably start over Posey, but if Huff & Vernon Davis are there also i wouldnt mind them either.

Two things,Winston Justice is not good enough to go as high as 16 or 32 for that matter and who's not in that first round mock "anywhere"??? Thats right, McNiel..... imagine that.

Re: NEW UPDATED CnnSi Mock...Some will like it!

The 49ers should take AJ Hawk...

Leaves us with Brick...

Re: NEW UPDATED CnnSi Mock...Some will like it!

I would take Hawk cause I don't really think Posey is that great

[camelcowboy]

Re: NEW UPDATED CnnSi Mock...Some will like it!

I don't see why posey is still on this team, with crowell emerging. Save some cap and cut his underachieving ass.

Re: NEW UPDATED CnnSi Mock...Some will like it!

If Hawk is there at 8 and the Bills don't select him, it will be the biggest mistake in franchise history. You don't pass up guys like that. You just don't.

Did you see his bowl game or his Senior Bowl practices and game performance?

If you did, you'd know why a lot of people have McNeil dropping out of the first round now. McNeil was horrible--especially at the Senior Bowl where the DEs were beating him like a drum so bad that, during the game, they shifted him to RT, where he still got beat and looked lost trying to find someone to block on a couple of running plays.

McNeil has great size, looks superb in his uniform, but has horrible footwork for a guy who has played so much in an SEC program--his blocks are too high and he's off-balance a lot because he has a tendency to get his shoulders out over his knees when he pass blocks. And, while he can physically dominate a defender who is straight up on him, he rarely gets to someone on the second level, especially when the play goes to the opposite side. He played well for Auburn, but will need to respond better to coaching and improve a lot to become a real player on the NFL level. The reason that he has fallen so much in the estimation of a lot of draft gurus is that I'm not the only one who thinks that McNeil has the potential to be a bust written all over him (I'm not saying he will be, but there are so many other OTs in this draft who have looked better than him in their bowl games and all-star performances that McNeil is looking like much more of a risk in comparison.)
