Davis didn't cry over the Hawk pick, he was crying because he made his dream of playing in the NFL come true. I clearly remember him saying to his mom "I made it".

haha really?

As I recall, this board was divided down the middle between those who wanted Hawk and those who wanted Mario. Both players were projected as possible choice for GB. That Houston went for Mario at #1 was a huge surprise (and disappointment for me). I wanted Mario.
That said I'm cool with Hawk. He's not the HOFamer half on this board thought he'd be, but he's a reliable pro who I expect to get better. Maybe an eventual all-Pro.One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Not having a QB and not having a DC worth a damn is not the samething. Other players made plays with Sanders at DC, so why did Hawk only look average well other players like Woodson, Collins, Barnett, Kampman, and Harris still managed to make plays under Sanders. Time to face the facts, Hawk is never going to be better than what he is now.Originally posted by Tony OdayComment

Mario was my favorite too but I gave up hope of getting him after the combine. I thought he might make it to 4 but I didn't think there was any chance he was getting past the Jets. Going 1 was a surprise though. I, like many, mistakenly thought Bush was going to be LT 2.0.Originally posted by Maxie the TaxiFred's Slacks is a Winner!Comment

Nah, Davis made it well known that he was very happy not to be going to Green Bay.Originally posted by Brandon494"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

I realize that but thats not the reason why he was crying. Also can you really blame him? If you were not a Green Bay fan why would you want to play for the Packers over a warm weather city?Originally posted by HarveyWallbangersComment

Tradition, great fans, best environment to be a FOOTBALL playerOriginally posted by Brandon494
I think I'd be happy with the millions they were going to pay me. I definitely wouldn't let it be public knowledge that I didn't want to play in Green Bay. Davis is a grade A jerk."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

Depends on what is most important to you. Weather shouldn't matter until you win a ring. Davis should have talked to Keith Jackson.Originally posted by Brandon494Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

He is a jerk because he didn't want GB to select him? Like I said Charles Woodson even said early in his career that he would never play in GB. Davis never said that he would not have played for the Packers if they did in fact select him. Eli Manning on the other hand turned down the warm weather city and refused to play for the Chargers, would you consider him a grade A jerk?Originally posted by HarveyWallbangersComment

No. It's one small thing on a list of reasons he's a jerk.Originally posted by Brandon494"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

This is becoming clearly dumb conversation. It reminds me of a coaches meeting we had after a loss this season...first thing the Head Coach start with was, "this is what we should have done..."....does it really matter anymore? Couldn't replay that game, so lets move on.
Davis is a jerk, and I'm glad he's not a Packer. AJ Hawk isn't a world beater, but he's a very solid player, and personally, I really enjoy having "just solid" players on my teams. I think the more comfortable we get in the 3-4 under Dom, and the more he learns how to use players, you'll continue to see an AJ Hawk like we saw today.
Dom has for years been great at finding strengths and using them, and I think priority #1 for him this year has been Aaron Kampman, and it seems as though he's figured that out more than earlier.
It's really dumb to argue who we should have drafted...probably should have drafted Tom Brady in the 6th round the year he was picked huh?"I would love to have a guy that always gets the key hit, a pitcher that always makes his best pitch and a manager that can always make the right decision. The problem is getting him to put down his beer and come out of the stands and do those things." - Danny MurraughComment

Probably wouldn't have fit our offense, been tired of sitting behind Favre and then busted...Originally posted by ND72"Greatness is not an act... but a habit.Greatness is not an act... but a habit." -Greg JenningsComment
