    Imagine we're picking somewhere between 3rd and 5th overall...TT panics and trades away 3 high draft picks just to move up a few slots for Sewell...and we have so many holes to fill...

      TT's pattern seems to be to just sit and take BPA at whatever spot we have. Last year he did trade up for Murray. It would be interesting to know if that was done just because Lynn wanted him so bad? or if TT also had him so highly rated that we had to make that move?

      Alot will depend on how we finish this year, which coaches get canned if any? and how FA plays out?

        In recent years, true, he has gone BPA...but remember:

        1. In 2013, TT used a 4th rounder to move up for Manti Teo--seen by many as a bust, and an injury bust and a waste of an extra pick
        2. in 2014, TT used another 4th rounder to move up for Jerry Attaouchu--seen by many as a bust and a waste of an extra pick
        3. In 2015, TT used a 4th and a 2015 5th rounder to move up for Melvin Gordon--seen by many as giving up a lot for a running back who did produce at times, but lacked vision and was easily tackled frequently. He ultimately stabbed the Bolts in the back with his ill-advised holdout

        Three trade-ups, not much upside, and all those wasted draft picks...

          And one year TT got like 3 players (one that I remember was CB pierre desir) for almost nothing that were former 4th rounders so that kind of makes up for those missing 4ths

          kinda

              Tlllery was BPA? Not in my book.
              Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

                When they drafted Tillery, TT claimed at the time that he was the "only" player left with a first-round grade on him...

                  Tillery has been my guy since we drafted him so I’m incredibly biased
                  but I still think the inconsistencies speak more about the defense and gus than the player himself.
                  To me it’s a no brainer to keep JT through an affordable 5th year and make a decision then
                  hopefully Gus is long gone by then and we have some film on JT with a new coordinator

                    I'd like to see how well Tillery does under another DC...

                      agree, as well as the rest of our players... I dont think our players are anywhere near as bad as they look under gus....every week....

                        This is really Lamp's first active year. Lots of team drills was his NFL experience up to this year.

                          hard to fill holes with bad draft picks.
