It amazes me how some people overreact to every freaking offseason signing.
So we signed another experienced DB....so what? We all know Williams likes to use a lot of them, plus the roster right now is 80 players. That means 27 players will be gone by the start of the season. At this point, I'd rather them try to sign experienced guys to compete in training camp, rather than guys that have not played an NFL game on this side of the Atlantic.

As for signing the rookies, very few rookies are signed before mid-July, so I wouldn't worry about that...it appears that the Redskins aren't, and it's their job to get it done.

As for Hawkins, don't know much about him, but I see that he is a veteran that has played and started in the league, so he is either just someone to push the younger guys, or a guy that wants to prove that he can still play and will really push for the nickel/dime back spot. Either way, it's good for the team.
