He is a monster of a man at 6'6" and 309 pounds. Hawkins also adds the versatility to play at either right or left tackle. With Oklahoma State product Russell Okung on the left side, Hawkins could slot in on the right side.The interior of the offensive line might be the more pressing issue, and perhaps Hawkins or current right tackle Garry Gilliam could be pushed into the guard position.The Seahawks just paid Russell Wilson to be their franchise man, and they need to keep him healthy and can't afford to let him be battered and have injuries keep him on the sideline. /

player. 13. The San Diego Chargers defense is faced with the prospect of losing one of its best players after this season. A few months ago it was revealed the team had reached a stall in contract negotiations with Pro Bowl safety Eric Weddle. Word was they felt his age and extensive use both on defense and special teams made it a matter of time before he started to break down. Naturally Weddle’s camp didn’t buy that, thus resulting in talks being broken off. Expectations are that he will hit the free agent market next March, leaving a gaping hole on the back end of that Chargers secondary. Though he’s had a down season by his standards, Weddle still has only allowed two touchdown passes all year and is the unquestioned brains on that defense. So if he is gone, San Diego has to address that position sooner than later. Jeremy Cash is a nice first attempt. The Duke safety has continued to generate buzz in the scouting community thanks to his versatility, able to play down near the line of scrimmage as a run defender but also showing good instincts and athleticism in coverage. He’s a tough kid who plays with violence. He’ll need work on his discipline when tracking the ball, but that is more than coachable.. S. Duke. Jeremy Cash. 47
