Yes, Brian offers more speed, but I don't see it being Austin vs. Hartline. Hartline has never been a #1... doesn't have the strength Miles does to separate.

So for me the question is: Who would I take Hartline over?

Hawk? No.

Gabe? No.

Benji? Maybe... but at this level of a role, $$$ becomes a consideration.

I don't see Brian in the cards...

I'd take Hartline over Benji and probably over Gabe, as Brian can play both inside and out while offering more of a height threat in the redzone. The horizontal passing game is nice, being quick

in space is great for those bunch sets we like to use. Gab can also be utilized in a pinch for returning punts or kicks. I could see a spot on the roster for all three. Of those 3, Hartline and Hawk offer the most versatility.

Speed to get open=strength to get open to me. Hartline Hands and Sideline feet and younger> than Miles. I kinda think Miles wants overpaid on his last contract and pushes us up to paying him Hartline Money anyhow. I like signing them both and keeping better Depth at the position that is know Gordon-less and still draft one. Hate to say it but, at Benji's size he's looking a little NFL beat up and hearing steps. Next is shying away from Hits such as Cribbs at end with Browns.

Hartline Vs Miles Austin.. What we Paying?? And I assume Hartline younger than Miles?? Hartline better Hands but Question Speed??

Hartline might be a tad more expensive, but not by much. He's 3 years younger I believe? At this point has a better first step and top end stride than Miles.

The Buckeye vs *ichigan nonsense goes elsewhere. To me, it helps Brian is from the area and that he may want to come home. However he's a plus size receiver that is still pretty young, displays great hands, routes and a quick stride. I could give a shit if he went to tOSU or not, I'm interested in any player that fills a need with those measurables at a reasonable price.

I agree. We could use the WR help

How many bad busts have we drafted in that era? I think they would not have had nearly as many if they just said on a lark: take the best available Buckeye.

I guess I could go through it and say: we coulda drafted X Buckeye instead of TR, or Y Buckeye instead of Weeden, or Z Buckeye instead of Mingo.....but it would be silly to do so.

Mike

He was Miami's top receiver for a few years. Yes, maybe worth a shot.

Oh...that's right...Braylon Edwards v2.

We could get Jake Ryan in like the 7th round...and that would be OK. And he could bring Molly Ringwald with him.

Hartline was just released. Jump on that shit, immediately. He would be an instant upgrade @ #2 with the best hands on the team.

And no, this is not a Buckeye bias talking.

It's always Buckeye bias. They'd say the same thing if we wanted Eddie George in his prime.

The only thing Michigan fans have to be happy about is not being the worst team in the Big Ten.

He's diminished... first clue was the Pack moving Jr. inside.

And you guys are old enough to remember "My Cup Runneth over" was Ed's big hit... prolly his only hit...

If you're not diabetic, have a listen...

Naw, his biggest hit was getting the target in the nuts with a tomahawk on Johnny Carson. THAT was funny!

Hawk is an inside linebacker, always has been. And a very good one. Since i'm not a Packer fan I cannot say with one way or another if his skillset has diminished. Looking at his stats he had 90 total tackles with 53 solo last year. Not world beating by any means but comparable if not slightly better than our current ILB'ers. I wouldn't be upset if we picked him up cause I'm really not seeing an ILB'er in this years draft that's worth taking in the 1st two rounds. I was high on Perryman for awhile but then I saw him come in to the combine looking slow and fat. If you can't dial it in for the combine than no thanks.
