Hindsight is 20-10

HH has been a solid stopgap player for us for years. i liked the move coming down from GB years back. i always was a HH fan in 04/5/6, then he dropped off a bit with Vasher, and still showed up everyday.

and he almost always makes the crucial needed play…and yes the naysayers will say that he costs us as much as he helps us, but still, he’s won some games for us, most notably, the Minn game

He isn’t any worse than Brinkley, or any of these other guys they try to sell us everyweekend. most notably the “deep” reserves of the NY football Giants.

Yeah I know that but I wouldnt say one game makes up for his being a liability all year

…Hunter Hillenmeyer was TERRIBLE last year. One good game does not excuse how bad he was. 90 tackles as MLB for the Chicago Bears ? Patrick Willis had 150 on a 4-3 defense. Urlacher would have had 130/140 and he was our defensive captain. Williams is the hidden legend, and he could walk if we don’t pay him.

I typically use the phrase “solid…if unspectacular.”

I felt that hillenmeyer made alot of mistakes in the middle… he would often change up coverage to what he read out of the offensive formation only to get it blown up most notably on third and long.

Knox was the 5-4 pick. Marcus Freeman was the 5-18 pick and a better choice would have been either Victor Harris or Javon Ringer with the 5-18 pick.

But Knox was 5-4. No guaranteeing he’s still there at 5-18.

Brinkley wouldn’t have been a bad pick, but I would have rather seen Victor Harris. I think both show promise. I’m just not sure why we took Freeman in the first place given out LB depth. Harris seemed like a better choice.

My personal choices would have been:

2-17 Phil Loadholt though I’m good with the levitre pick, too.

3-35 Glover Quin (Gil Brandt felt that Quin, along with Knox were two of the biggest surprises of the draft)

5-4 Johnny Knox (which means brinkley isn’t available anyways by the next pick.)

5-18 Victor Harris

6-17 Al Afalava (good pickup by Angelo, as was Knox)
