Bottom Line
Hawkins is a tough evaluation because the length and footwork in pass protection are promising, but issues with bend and body control may be difficult to correct. Hawkins has talent, but his ceiling might be tied directly to whether a team allows him to sit while an offensive line coach works to correct the technical flaws that limit his effectiveness. Hawkins best spot may be right tackle.
I would say if any coach has that ability it would be Munchak...Originally Posted by steelerkitty
Munchak said he thinks he can play both left and right tackle. Said that, Hawkins is more comfortable on the left side.

1. Graham Barton, C, Duke 2. Ricky Pearsall, WR, Florida 3. Maason Smith, DT, LSU 3. Max Melton, CB, Rutgers 4. Blake Fisher, OT, Notre Dame 6. Tommy Eichenberg, ILB, Ohio State 6. MJ Devonshire, CB, Pittsburgh
I'm fine with this pick. The type of offense LSU runs, he's ready to start contributing. Gives us emergency depth across the line while Munchak grooms him. Not a sexy pick but they're stocking up the trenches.
Marcus Gilbert kinda proves it.
Munchak wanted him.
Ergo, based solely on that, it's a good pick.
Sounds like he entered the right situation. They don't need him to start this year and Munchak is definitely capable of helping this kid

i know nothing about the kid but we have the best O-line coach in the league so any O-line pick could turn out to be awesome. I'll take it. Guess this means bye bye to Mike Adams? No way do we keep 5 tackles....I was kind of hoping Munchak could continue coaching him up since we basically get him for near nothing for another year
Gotta keep in mind this guy played well against some SEC teams and helped pave the way for Leonard Fournette...who many think is even a better RB prospect than Todd Gurley and Ezekiel Elliot

Must defer to Munchak. Give that coach whatever he asks for including salary as long as I am not writing the checks.

From what I've heard Adams' rookie contract is still valid for 2016 since he's missed the entire 2015 season, seems to be a stipulation of the CBA. I say for his rookie contract salary we keep him in 2016 and then look whether we try to keep him or not.

who goes in that situation? We have Villanueva and Gilbert as incumbent starters. Hawkins and Harris as back ups. Adams...?

Trade Adams for a few buckets of reflective yellow paint to touch up the parking lot.
