Know nothing about the dude but has to be an upgrade from wetzel

I think it's a good pickup. Hawkins has played nearly 1,000 snaps and has been "OK" when he's had an opportunity to play.

Wetzel could end up on the PS.

But seriously though.. I am sure it is an upgrade. Like that we aren't standing pat with what we have.

So we sorta traded this guy for Byrd with the Browns. A little give, a little take.

I'm seeing that Donald Hawkins is a rookie. How did he play 1000 snaps?

I picked Hawkins up on a fantasy team...

Recognize that name, can't tell you much about him though. Passed the name recognition test.

I hope that means he's not a scrub.

[Cowboy from New York]

reading evaluations that he is projected to play guard. Hoping for more talent at tackle rather than our current backups there.

Oh, I won't bad mouth any recent pick up. At least with this fan, I wait and observe when someone new enters the group...as he should do also, before making any changes himself.

Hawkins is neither very big, very strong or very quick. Cowboys basically traded Byrd for this Hawkins guy. Thinking we did not make out on this deal.

On a team with Dez, T-Will, Beasley, Harris, and Street, does anyone actually expect that Byrd was even going to dress for games on Sundays? He would've been on street clothes as part of the inactive guys every week.

Unless we were cutting Cole Beasley or going long at WR, this is the expected outcome. But fans around here basically wanted to put Byrd in Canton.

I stand corrected...

I was looking at the record of Andrew Hawkins who also plays for the Browns.

The football playing Hawkins I guess...

Dangit Winicki!

I thought you were infallible.

Your fantasy team is going to be pretty bad if you're picking waiver wire offensive linemen.

I am a huge Texas fan, but doesn't Jerry know nothing good has come from Texas since Tommy Nobis?
