A. J. Hawk
 

I have been hearing a lot about this guy, and I thought it was just hype. Then I watched the Ohio State/Notre Dame game the other night. Now I see what all the talk was about.

I know it was only one game, and I'll hopefully get to see some film of him, but WOW.

He is a sure and solid tackler, ALWAYS around the ball, and has really good game speed.

At one point the ND running back was trying to score a touchdown, and Hawk met him at the goal line and just
CRUSHED

him and kept him from scoring.

If we could move down a couple of spots and pick him up, I wouldn't be upset.

Go AJ HAwk i think we will pick up him in the first round pick for the Saints

RE: A. J. Hawk
 

I think this team needs a QB more than anything, seeing as how our defense ended up not sucking too much ass, but I think that if we moved down, got AJ Hawk and more picks, I would be pleased.

.. and the kid has range... from side to side of the field...Personally I wouldn't pick Leinart or Young. This kid looks like the real deal.

RE: A. J. Hawk
 

AJ would be help bring the dome patrol back!!!!!! All we need is a DT and MLB. Lets go all out with Mike Singletaty for head coach. bring smash mouth back to the dome! :twisted:

Then the trubo will flow :drink: in the stands once again. If we loose at lest we will know the other team got the hell beat out of them :patos:

I think a solid linebacker like Hawk would be a very smart draft choise. I mean both Leinart and Young might become big time NFL quarterbacks but that won't help if the team don't have defence. Look at the Bears this year, Orton was a rookie taken in the fourth round and they are still in the playoffs due to GREAT defence. I think a guy like Hawk could bring us a little closer to that.

Does anyone know what DTs will be aviable in FA?

So, we go with Brooks at QB again? :roll:

Of course not! But what I'm saying is that it might not be the best value to bring in a QB with a high pick if you can't stop the other team from scoring. I would like the Saints to bring in a veteran QB and then bring in another young QB either trough the draft or FA. A veteran could help groom A-Mac and the other QB and we might be able to gain trade value or a starter from either one later.
I also would like to se A-Mac in NFLE where he could get some much needed experience of playing on a high level.

But our defense can stop people from scoring. The problem was an offense that gave up the most turnovers in the league, scored sporadically, and never set a tone of consistency at any point this year. Close to half the total points given up by our team came off turnovers. I don't know what league you can win like that, but it's not this one. With a coach who cuts those mistakes, and a accurate, good decision making QB like Leinart, I guarantee you would see even more improvement in our D. We have the talent, and there are LBs aplenty in this draft. I don't think anyone would be disappointed with a second round Odell Thruman or Lofa Tatupu. I know I wouldn't.
