Who Should the Packers Draft At #5?

The Packers have several good choices with this high pick. They could pick up a defensive stud like Mario Williams or A.J. Hawk, trade down, or pick someone unexpected (like TE/WR Vernon Davis). Here is what I think we should do (in order of preference):

1) Draft Mario Williams (if he is available)-Super Mario is a big risk but he could easily be our next Reggie White. It is a position of need as well (as least on certain downs). It is highly unlikely that we will get Williams (unless we trade up) but he has to be our best option.

2) Trade Down (if we get a good offer)-I wouldn't want to trade down too far but if we can pick up some additional picks and still stay in the top ten, I say go for it.

3) Draft A.J. Hawk-If Super Mario is gone and we can't find a good trade partner, we should pick Hawk. He looks like a stud and LB is one of our biggest positions of need. It may be a reach to pick him at #5 though.

4) Fire Ted Thompson-If Thompson does anything else with this pick (like god forbit take Vernon Davis or Vince Young) I think he should be fired. While getting Williams will be unlikely the other two options should be available. If he is stupid enough not to pick one, he should be canned.

What do you think we should do at #5? What do you think the Packers will do with their first pick? Discuss in the comments section.
