You sit on a throne of lies!

I think you're right, but I keep seeing him mentioned as an ILB. That isn't really where I think this team will be looking. I also think there's a good shot he'd be gone at #10. From what I can tell from analysis (I haven't seen either guy in video), Hawk is better than Greenway.
I think the Phins will pick inside the top 10, because the NFC is weak and even though the Phins maybe a better team than some NFC teams that have better records, that they will pick inside the top 10. I'm a diehard, but I try to be realistic, and right now I don't think that OLB is as big of a need as a Qb/DT/LT/CB.
At 10, I think only LT and CB of those four is really realistic. I get the idea there might not even be a CB worth that pick, so that would just leave LT. I have to agree that if that's a need at all next year, it's a great time to address it. I'm absolutely against drafting dictated by need, and I think Nick is in that same boat. I agree that LB isn't big as a need, but I think OLB is an area where a pick could potentially have a huge impact on the fortunes of the team.
As to the rest of what you wrote, I'd like to point out that of the 5 teams that were 6-10 last year, two of them picked outside the top 10. It's not like I'm being all that more optimistic about things than you are. I do differ from most here in that I think the offense is going to be okay but the defense is going to struggle, though.
