Titans select Cal WR Lavelle Hawkins with 2nd 4th round pick
Tennessee Titans — ... With the 126th pick in the 2008 NFL draft, acquired from the Dallas Cowboys for CB Adam Jones, the Tennessee Titans selected Cal WR Lavelle Hawkins . After having been linked via speculation to Golden Bear wideout DeSean Jackson, the Titans have now taken two of Nate Longshore’s other targets, having previously grabbed TE Craig Stevens.

Hawkins has got some upside as a versatile WR who stood out at the Senior Bowl and could be a steal. Or ...

Can Lavelle Hawkins help the Titans?
Tennessee Titans — ... , I became more comfortable with the selection of William Hayes after I learned a little more about him. I regret I do not have that same comfort level with the Titans’ second fourth-round pick, WR Lavelle Hawkins . It’s not because of anything specific about Hawkins — I would feel the same about any receiver the Titans drafted.
