Not a fan of his height and tiny catch radius, but Hawk is a proven producer and would improve our depth. If LaFell or Boyd go down, who would you feel more confident about...Tate/Alford or Hawk.
Easy answer, imo.
Yup, pretty much this.
Hawkins is a known quantity, we know he can put up 500-800 yards against NFL talent. Even if you like Alford's potential, what is it that you could realistically expect him to become? Hawkins. So while Alford's ceiling is probably Hawkins, which is floor is Quan Cosby... so why not just take Hawkins outright if it's a choice?
