A.J. Hawk - Draft Projection - NFL Impact

Mike · 12-27-2005, 09:19 PM

A.J. Hawk
Outside Linebacker - Ohio State - Senior

Height- 6'1"
Weight-240
2005 Lombardi Award Winner

Things may change by next week when the top of the draft order sorts itself out a little more, but right now I have the 49ers selecting 3rd and taking Hawk. I think Hawk is one of the top 2-3 defensive players coming out of this draft, not just for immediate impact, but long term success. He is always around the ball and is a definate playmaker on the field.

I would be very suprised if A.J. Hawk falls out of the top 5 this year.

Hawk will go very high, but only to the 49ers if Julian Peterson jumps.

SF shouldn't make the same mistake as the Browns or Texans. They have to protect their QB investment, either by giving him the tools up front or a great running back. This is one of the best offensive tackle drafts in recent memory! The 49ers should take advantage and trade down. Many good offensive linemen will be available later!

They likely won't be able to find a suitor at No.7..... maybe they can get the Rams to leapfrog the Cards for a DE, but other than that... I don't see it.

I think he is simply commenting on me having Hawk going to the 49ers at #2, where I thought they would be drafting.

That's right. No way he lasts to number seven. He's definitely a top five pick. Rumors that he clocked a 4.40 forty are unbelievable. Look forward to see what he does at the combine.

Any word on Manny Lawson (DE/OLB) of NC State coming out early?

Also, heard ESPN announcers commenting that Ahmad Brooks (LB-VA) has missed most of the season with a back problem. Thought he had knee issues. Any information on him would be appreciated as well.

A.J. Hawk probably raised his value a little tonight in the Fiesta Bowl.

PaulBrown · 01-02-2006, 08:02 PM

Can't get much higher IMO. Definite top five.

you guys are breaking my heart. Top 5? I was praying for Hawk at #6 or #7 to the Raiders

4 or 5 players from this national championship are going in the top 10. Crazy.

Paul Posluszny, ILB from Penn State, just tore up his knee. So much for him coming-out a year early! What a shame.
