HawWhile I'd be happy with either, I've heard many D-coordinators say that the road to a solid D starts with a d-line that gets consistent pressure.  This allows 7 players to drop into coverage, and creates situations where blitzing can be used far more effectively.  When you need to rush 5-6 players all the time to get pressure, it's easier for the O to prepare for constant blitzing and it's rarely a surprise.  So as I've said a few other times, my preference would be Williams; he has pass-rush ability and can play the run adaquately.  And it's much easier to teach run-support than pass-rushing.  Throw in that he's a Jr. at 285lbs and has a chance to fill out some, and I think he's a better pick than Hawk.  Of course, this is all complete speculation from a devoted arm-chair GM.</blockquote>
