Go get David Hawthorne

[Keyplay1]

Hey! If there is another Farrior there why not? I saw the following ranking of FA's and since this was an any position ranking of their top 50 it was unusual I thought to see so many ILB's rated so highly.

6. David Hawthorne		ILB	He ranks behind Tulloch at the postion due his considerable risk of injury. If healthy, he’s on of the league’s best ILBs.
7. Erin Henderson		ILB	Young, and a huge upside to go with it. An undervalued young star in the making.
8. Manny Lawson		OLB	This high? He’s in a weak free agent class for his position and he’s deadly against the run.
9. Curtis Lofton		ILB	More proven than Dan Connor, but less likely to become available. Nevertheless, a young and very solid player.
10. BenJarvis Green-Ellis		RB	We love that he doesn’t fumble. So to will the teams who woo him.

When we played Seattle they did seem helpless. But I do recall thinking their young defense was going to be a factor. Then as the season went on they did win some quality games. I suppose Hawthorne was a key in all this.

Incidentally, there were hardly any OL on the list at all. The site was called----

If Hawthorne is very good, why has he not received any contract offers yet?

My only guess is that the Seahawks have given him an offer that no one has eclipsed and he has some history of injury.

The Saints reported signed David Hawthorne to a 5 year deal (haven't seen what the terms of the deal are yet). Damn... They also signed Curtis Lofton to a 5 year deal, so I guess that means that they really expect Goodell to bring the hammer down hard on Jonathan Vilma for being the guy to put up $10,000 on Brett Favre's head in the Bountygate scandal. He won't be a Saint much longer.
