    What A Fricken Draft

    Im pretty surprised we just went and solidified the offense like that. When TT said the other day that the draft was defense heavy i was sort of wondering if he was going to allow all the defensive guys to get picked allowing the good O players to rise up and snatch them. I had Feeney and Lamp as first round talent guys. I feel like we drafted 3 1st rounders over the past 2 days. I was so convinced we were going defense heavy.

    I couldnt be happier. I know we need pieces on defense but if offensive players are there with better value then you go BPA. This interior OL is going to be insane. Gordon will no longer get hit behind the LOS on every run. Hopefully keeping him healthier. We have a shitload of depth on the OL and WR.

    We get what many thought was the best WR and OG. And 2nd best OG. The fact that Lamp can play all 3 positions is a huge plus. Before Feeney was drafted Telesco said he would be used at OG. But now that Feeney is drafted i wonder if Lamp will get a shot at RT.

    At any rate we should stop seeing pockets collapse so easily. I expect us to be one of the best offenses in the league if we can keep Rivers on his feet. And this was how you go about doing that.

    Last season, the Chargers were able to score, but the D gave it away. Maybe with a run heavy O, this will help the D, but they still need Edge and FS help.

        Our oline has never had time to gel going back to Normal time. Waether injury or new personel or changing position the oline has been like the pros used by a jugglers...
        Go Rivers!

          I'm happy with it. TT didn't do any dumb trades or mortgage the future, and got some field-ready guys to improve the offense.
          If Rivers is comfortable with Slauson at C, I wonder if maybe they'll just use the two new guys at Guard with Okung LT, and then try to get by with Jokes Barksdale or Orlandough Franklin on the other end. I haven't been following any updates on Pulley or Tuerk.

            I'm ecstatic about this draft. But Feeney is late 2nd rounder at best. And that's a great place to get a guard.
            Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

              Well they did try to trade up to get Lamp, but were rebuffed. Good that Lamp wasn't the target of the other teams. You just never know.

                  I would slide Lamp to RT and give Tuerk a shot at OG. Done with Barksdale.

                      We have great competition at OL this summer. Finally.

                        We got lucky with Lamp still being there at #38. Pure luck. But I'll take it!
