Do we need a running back? Yes! Would it have been worth Lynch to lose Hawk? No, not by a far sight!
Peace of the Lord be with you.

I guess I look at it like this: I'd be surprised if he's around next season anyways (is due to make 10 million next season, and the Packers have given both Chillar and Bishop contract extensions); at least the Packers would've gotten something for him instead of a wasted top five pick (IMO). Not trying to sound snarky here so please don't take it as such, but Hawk's been a huge disappointment and the opportunity was there for us to shore up a position of need and it didn't happen. Maybe if the Chillar/Barnett/Jones don't hit the IR we're not even having this discussion. Who knows...
