    Staley didn't say they need to get better production from the #2 RB because he trusts those guys.

    Bring in better competition.
    NC State's RB Zonovan Knight looks like he could be good.

      Yeah, buy I wouldn't mind drafting this guy to give relief to Mr. Piss Missile! Who does this guy remind you of? I wouldn't even mind it if they took him in the first round at #17-25

        I'm curious to hear who you think he reminds you of.

          I'm not going to say he's the same but he does remind me of the great's that have insane balance, Crazy bounces, and really good field vision combined with using blockers really effectively...( LT-like)

            Oh gosh, I was afraid you were going to say that. That's an insult to LT. A BIG insult. That film reminded me nothing of LT. In fact, and I mean no disrespect to you gzu, but I was unimpressed with the guy, overall. I didn't see any real quickness, which was LT's trademark. In fact, it looked, well, kinda like his moves were a bit sluggish. And he didn't have real breakaway speed, at least not from what I saw in those highlights. He'd get swallowed up in the NFL.

            I REALLY hope we don't waste our 1st-round pick on the guy! I doubt we would do that, thankfully (on any RB, for that matter). But if the guy is still around for one of our 5th-round selections, that would be OK, I guess.

              Walker is RB 1 in this draft and won't get past the 2nd round. The Chargers don't have a 2nd round pick.

                I guess we'll have to disagree. I said he has some similarities to great running backs. If he was LT replica he would be drafted inside the top ten. I have no problem taking him in the bottom of round 1.

                  I saw a little bit of LT in Walker in that clip too. Saying you see a bit of LT in a guy is not saying he is as good as LT. I think Walker has good quickness and acceleration, but he doesn't have top end speed. That's OK though, he will be successful at the NFL level. The Chargers don't have a shot at him though, unless they acquire a 2nd round pick in a trade up or down. Telesco isn't going to use #17 to draft Walker, and as of right now the Chargers don't pick again until the 3rd round, and Walker will not get out of the 2nd round.

                    I'm thinking he wont make it out of the first round.

                      Ladinian Thomlinsons 40 yard dash time is 4.43
                      Kenneth Walker's 40 yard dash time is 4.46

                        Knight is a day 3 guy: round 5 or later
