POLL: Who Should We Pick @ #17?

[Boltjolt]

A lot of us were really frustrated with Lombo and his play calling early in the season...and for that matter, even later in the season...

You and Chain lol. He still is but coming from him it means nothing. Really sux having the #5 offense in it's first season

[chargeroo]

In honor of Chargeroo, who thinks Lloyd may fall to #17, I have listed him:

Wait a minute - I never said I expect him to fall to us, I said if that happened. I think the teams in front of us are mismanaged if he falls to us. This kid is an answer to a team that's having trouble stopping the run.

No Kenyon Green? Poll is trash....biased....

Leal? Really? Tillery clone.

There...fixed it for 'ya! Vote away:

Here;s what I said -

I'd love it if Devin Lloyd fell to us at 17. The guy is a tackling machine and he get's even better when the game is a big game. I think he would be a really big help to our defense.

Lone Bolt - make me understand why you put a OG that high on your list? I'm thinking Aboushi comes back and Jaimes should be ready to be the backup. What am I missing?

Shoot I forgot about Aboushi. Is he signed? Can he play RT?

That said I think if there's a definite day 1 starter regardless of position anywhere on the o-line the Chargers really should consider. Forget basic QB protection and trying to get to establish a mediocre/average running attack. We need to build a dominate o-line that pushes and bullies defenses around.

Cal Adomitis, long snapper out of Pittsburgh.

I still think Green can play RT...but even if he ends up a guard because a good option materializes at RT, either in house or free agency....well, we often complain about our depth not being championship caliber when we suffer injuries...Green would be an awesome guard, and Aboushi terrific depth. Watch some tape on this kid, and you will fall in love with his tenacity...he is a hunter, always looking to punish somebody.

I actually like a lot of options at 17, but I am stumping for this kid as an interesting, alternate direction for us to go with our first pick...and a viable one, IMO.

If Green were to fall to us, I'd be tempted. He has played both G and RT. This from TDN:

"Kenyon Green is a former 5-star recruit out of the state of Texas. Green became an immediate starter for the Aggies and has notched more than 35 starts in his three-year career. Green is an experienced starter that has played multiple positions along the offensive line...every position but center. Green has natural functional strength that he uses to become a true road grader in the run game. Offensive coordinators will find it beneficial to call run plays that follow behind Green's path. As a pass protector, Green possesses quickness that he uses to mirror defenders and become a dominant interior pass protector. Green is a versatile offensive lineman that has amassed a ton of experience throughout his career. Green has the athleticism and physical temperament to become an instant starter and a future All-Pro offensive lineman.

Ideal Role: Green can play both guard positions and RT"

I think Green can play RT...but even if we happen on another good option at RT, either in house or FA, he would be a tremendous guard, and aboushi terrific depth...are we not always complaining about champioship depth when we suffer injuries on the line? Watch some tape on this kid...he is a hunter...always looking to dominate somebody...and reportedly high football IQ and character. A very good, very safe selection.

To be honest, I like a lot of different options at 17...the edge class alone is crazy good...Im just stumping for this kid as an alternate, interesting, and viable option for us in the first. My mindset could likely change after our additions and losses in free agency. But for now, I think Green is worth consideration.
