first up, will say you’re right re: my take on Rumph as “level of competition” wasn’t really what I was after as my thought was more that he didn’t play at a top shelf program, so there is always the question as to why didn’t he play at one of the more name programs, and given…. plenty of good players don’t…. just a mention/something that could give one pause ??
will also add that have never claimed to be an NFL savant, as many here have a storehouse of football smarts/knowledge that dwarf my learning curve, however like most here, would say that I make my share of contributions to the board, of which of late would proffer that not only was I one of, if not the first over the last coupla few years to start really raising the flag that the Chargers need to start to learn to stockpile draft picks as opposed to trading up and coming out w/the five or six picks rather than with what some teams are able to do with acquired selections running into double figures, and now…. isn’t Telesco boasting/touting more than once that we’re gonna have close to if not 20 picks over the course of these two years…. coincidence ??
am fairly sure that some of our NFL/Chargers’ brass read these boards as one of my first smirks, was when I had volunteered that what I didn’t really care for about PR was that he was a bit “chirpy,” and lo and behold, tuning into some NFL not long after, it was Steve Young on tv that answered in just the such as to what it was that turned him off with PR, and his answer was that he thought he was “chirpy.”
again…. ‘twas just coincidence, or do more peoples read these boards than many might suspect.
hence my retort to what I might consider a rather boy howdy response, not to mention being an old, tired and worn out dig to what I think is a pretty decent ensemble of draft picks, regardless of others’ opinions.
will also add that in the Powder Blues GMD that I sucked so bad that as the Green Bay GM I picked the player that they would have if still on the board in Kadarius Toney and also nailed their second round pick, and…. ditto for Denver in that I suggested they go all in on D and get an RB, which is exactly what they did, and…. didn’t really follow up/hear much about the WFT draft, albeit did see that although Zaven Collins was off the board, they did go LB round one w/Jamin…. was “really” off on that selection as well eye guess ??
and to close out this drivel, will proffer my sorry suck ass, lousy assortment of picks against team Tommy Johns…. and if you/PM want to add some of your own, have @it.
Zaven > Rashawn * everybody loves Rashawn, but really think he’s a guard when all is said and done, albeit he will well fill our need of a starting LT, and…. just really love Zaven Collins and still woulda gonna LB over our need @LT (and again, w/all due respect to the Duke Mayweathers of this draft world)
Stokes & Rondale Moore > Asante * again don’t doubt that Samuel will well fill a need for us, but do question his intangibles just a bit, and in comparison love Stokes’ intangibles, who btw is someone that PM laughed and joined in w/an NFLer who panned the pick, and do think RM could be crazy darn good
Josh Myers > Kelvin Joseph * once upon a time everyone was per usual lovin’ life before the season started, but the some of us were more than a little concerned w/a perceived vulnerability w/our vet and injury prone pair of Okung and Pouncey, and of whom as it turned out derailed what coulda, shoulda and woulda been a successful season, and…. lo and behold young team Tommy John has left themselves exposed again w/a vet injury prone OC in Corey Linsley, which heightens my interest in the said Josh Myers, who might of come off the board a round early as woulda preferred him @77 or even @97, but just pluggin’ these guys in @where they went off the board, and…. still would take him over PM’s guy KJ, as don’t have a huge problem playin’ Qberry for a bit, but do think without Linsley we’ll prolly fall short of any SB goals.
Josh Palmer * as mentioned in my review of JP, am willing to give this guy the benefit of the doubt.
Ambry Thomas > Tre McKitty * don’t know the so much of the either of these guys, but did think Thomas woulda been a valuable add to this defensive secondary, and by the looks/sound of things, we coulda prolly waited on McKitty to get him later on day three.
Tyler Shelvin/Daviyon Nixon > Chris Rumph * think Rumph might be alright if he plays at his lighter weight, but woulda much preferred reinforcements to the Dline as think we need(ed) to hedge our bets w/Joseph, and/or replace DSquare w/far more than Fehoko.
Brenden Jaimes * like this guy a bit and am looking forward to seeing what he can add to our Oline
Hamsah Nasirildeen >> Nick Niemann * bummed we missed out on Hamsah and will be very surprised if he doesn’t add more to someone’s roster that our Dzubnar 2.0
Trey Smith >> Rountree * understand the logic behind opting for a short yardage back who is durable and was productive, and…. think we passed on a starting LG…. @the bottom of day three ☹
the any of Kylin Hill, LaBryan Ray, Pro Wells, Dylan Moses > Mark Webb * dude looks good on paper, but do think there was some better talent on the board to close things out.
and again, Panama…. no offense…. you’re prolly one of the more astute football heads here on the tPB, as when I volunteered that MW would go 50/700, you took issue w/the latter, and I didn’t hesitate in admitting as such after the fact (the ouija board has been known to miss and more than just the once), and…. you can cherry pick the above, albeit will gladly take my selections as opposed to team Tommy John, as think they left some valuable talent on the board.
