Mell Kiper says Packers will take AJ Hawk. With his track record that pretty well rules it out so who do you think we will really take.

I hate him because he's got the dream job.
Can you imagine? Getting paid all that money? For the pleasure of touring the country, watching football, scouting and ranking draftees and having millions of fans wait breathlessly for your mock drafts?
Lucky *****!
(BTW - last year around this time he said that Aaron Rodgers would be the #1 pick in the draft.)

Kind of like the episode of Cheers when Norm got a job as a beer taster. I like Kiper because when he is called on the carpet by someone pissed off at his analasys, he tucks his tail between his legs and runs. I find him comical.

If the Packers are rebuilding, and they really are, then a killer defensive player like that is a good way to start.
I have heard nothing but good things about him other than some saying that he is too short. (6' 1")
Hey, Mike Singletary was bearly six foot and he worked out pretty well.

The thing is that if we get Arrington (PLEASE GOD, PLEASE LET IT BE SO!), we have Barnett, Arrington, Taylor, Thomas, Poppinga, Manning at LB. Thats a great group right there, and it has depth. But where does Hawk fit into that? I wouldn't mind if Hawk was a back up for the first while (he shouldn't be, he has the skills to start right away) to get use to game speed. But the huge contract of a 5th pick doesn't justify using Hawk as a sub. That is where I see the problem.
Otherwise, I love Hawk. I would love it if we got him (and lost out on Arrington). This kid is a stud, humble, has heart, and a strong head. He can be a leader REALLY soon. I would still prefer Hawk over Williams, but thats just me.![]()
