Do you think we should go after a running back and do you think Knowshown Moreno would be ideal for San Diego?

I have no clue TBH. I don't really follow San Diego (German for a whale's vagina) very much. I don't know what their plans for Jacob Hester are, whether or not they resign Sproles, and how they feel about LT right now. Free-agency will provide some good clues about draft direction.

I for one would not be unhappy if the team drafted Moreno. We do have more pressing needs at a couple positions but HB needs to be addressed. LT said he will play out his contract before retirement and Sproles is probably gone so Moreno could step right into a significant role before taking over in a few years.

Duffman57 · 01-12-2009, 05:41 PM

I think one of our biggest concerns is at MLB and i think that there is to much tallent in this draft to not go there the first round then we could go with someone like Tutou from oregon. I think it would also be a great move to trade oakland for Michael bush. I think he is the type of guy we need in our backfield to wear down defenders.

CC.SD · 01-12-2009, 07:15 PM

I will do dances of joy for:

BJ Raji
Taylor Mays
Rey Maualuga
Michael Oher
Duke Robinson (yes, at 16. He is a BEAST and would be worth it.)
Tyson Jackson

There is a 0% chance that all of these guys go in the top 15 so basically if we don't end up with any of them, my bad, because my mind control ray on AJ didn't work out quite right.

San Diego Chicken · 01-13-2009, 08:17 PM

Can B.J. Raji play 3-4 DE? He seems to be short, but is still a pretty good inside pass rusher. I don't think A.J. should take him just to sit behind JWill for two years if the team is trying to win the Super Bowl in 2009.

Twiddler · 01-13-2009, 09:07 PM

So.....did you guys trade LT yet?

Thunder&Lightning · 01-14-2009, 10:16 PM

Im liking #16

CC.SD · 01-16-2009, 12:35 PM

More-NO.

I could probably be on board with drafting Beanie to pair with Sproles if he fell, that's too much talent to pass up. But aside from that we need blue chippers in the trenches, on both sides of the ball.

lee06 · 01-19-2009, 10:25 PM

MLB is important to the chargers right now, and Ray sounds great because of he already played in a 3-4 defense.

and for a running back.. after darren leaves.. Pick up kory sheets late round/FA. Will compliment Philip Rivers nicely.

Thunder&Lightning · 01-20-2009, 03:22 PM

Maualuga. Oher if hes there

darkhorse21 · 01-20-2009, 06:25 PM

agree to get oher if hes there, but i doubt that. i say someone on the DL, Tyson Jackson or Raji. Would like to get back a second round pick somehow to get a back. Wouldnt mind Moreno though

You really think that possibly 4 OT's will be taken before pick 16? It seems that every year a player like that slips

Thunder&Lightning · 01-21-2009, 11:52 PM

Oher would be a nice pick. Might not be able to play LT due to lack of quickness. Which would make him an awesome RT which is what the bolts need.

He could workout well and prove he is quick enough to play LT during the Senior Bowl and Combine though.

My understanding was that the Chargers needed help along the right side of their OL anyway.

I think its very possible to have 4 OTs in 16 picks. With that said, if Oher were there they take him no question. Now with the way AJ is talking i think RB might be a need...

Thats what I said. We need a RT.

One will slip but in all likelihood it won't be Oher. It will probably be Jason Smith, who is athletic as hell but at less than 300 pounds is not a RT. I'd love to grab Oher too.

All I know is if we spend another first rounder on our cursed secondary I will pitch myself off a high building. AJ has his strengths, but his scouting eye for corners and safeties is highly questionable.

Since 2003 when he took over we have spent

3 first rounders and 1 second rounder on corners (Davis, Cromartie, Cason, and Florence)
2 second round picks at safety (Weddle, Kiel)
2 3rd round picks (as part of the Weddle trade.)

and we were ranked dead last in pass defense for most of the year, I think pulling up a couple of spots near the end.

I wouldn't worry about using another first rounder on a a defensive back, because FS is the only need back there and there's nobody in the middle of round one worth taking right now.

It has to be RT, RG, DE or LB. I say DE, because while Cesaire and Bingham are good in their roles, I don't see either as starters.

I do worry, because William Moore is going to be sitting there when we draft, and Hart will be cut by then. I'm actually a believer in Moore but if 2008 wasn't the year that convinces AJ to spend a 1st rounder on the O-line, it will never happen.

zdh87 · 01-27-2009, 09:21 AM

I think that the secondary was exposed because of the lack of pass rush, because if you'll remember, in 2007, while still not amazing, he Bolts had an incredibly opportunistic secondary. When the Chargers got to the QB with Shawne/Shaun, coverage is a lot easier. If there is a LB who falls or maybe Oher or Smith, he would help the Chargers immediately. I get the vibe, however, that a RB will be selected.

roscoesdad27 · 03-06-2009, 02:11 PM

1) T. Jackson d.e. lsu
physical d.e. that gets after the q.b. very well for a man his size...fills a need and fits your scheme to perfection at great value here.

2) P. Loadholt r.t./o.g. oklahoma
better fit at right tackle and can develope into a dominate one...can also be very good at o.g.....fills a need at great value here.

thoughts?

Ideally, I want us to trade down in the first and pick up a second. If that happen, I want us to pick up Beatty or Britton with our late first and Moala with our late second. The third round pick should be spent on either a backup center (Hardwick can't stay healthy) or a backup NT for Jamal. I've heard good things about Dorell Scott.

If we can't, then I would like either a OT or DE. I think we get better value for OT at that pick then DE because I'm really not liking Tyson Jackson or Gilbert the more I read about them. I think Oher or Beatty should be there when we pick.

UncleHulka · 04-04-2009, 11:48 PM

RB was taken with Hester (unfortunately). And Sproles was given the money. S was done with Weddle(perhaps, unfortunately). OL is the obvious choice, with DE going next. I see AJ thinking that he can still find a DE/OLB hybrid with a middle pick , so it's OL or true run-stopping DE is the first pick. I'm guessing OL. Oher would be perfect, though in most drafts good OL get overdrafted. So maybe it would be best to trade up?

CC.SD · 01-25-2010, 12:40 AM

Well it's draft season. I am hoping for some new blood at DT because as much as I like the rotation, not all of those guys will be back next year. OTOH, Jamal and Binghom will be around, so I can understand other viewpoints.

CJ Spiller is the only back I would consider drafting in the first, he is dreamy.

Dan Williams or Terrence Cody would both fit the bill for what we're trying to do.

ILB would be an interesting area and we could probably get great value at our spot. We have a lot of rotational guys but I would love to get someone who could just take over one of the ILB spots for the next decade. I do worry that if Spikes gets brought in, he and Siler might have issues since they were both defensive captains for the Gators and Siler is breaking out a little. I think having that thought qualifies me as an overthinker in this regard.

Could also (shudder) see AJ spending another pick in the 2ndary, especially if Cro gets shipped out.
