      Finally got a good signal. I called it in the day 1 thread as the Safe pick. Happy!

        I know some draft gurus didn't like him as much as Zach Martin or Quentin Nelson, and he is not the mauler they are, but he is so efficient and makes his fits so well, that I think he is just as good as those guys, just not as flashy with the pancakes and driving guys way off the ball.
        Wow.
        High praise.
        Imagine that we have two ProBowlers and a rook talked of in the same terms as Zack n Quenton.
        We do not play modern football.

          I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's the latter.

              Chargers have some draft picks still - mostly later rounds but what the heck

              Plus a bit of cap space to still get some veteran depth: Hicks for DL, Morgan Fox for more the DE rusher; OT depth - so in good shape

                  Im going out on a limb and guessing they are not taking another OL at R3.

                        I would tend to agree. In fact, I can see any of the other PONs (RB, WR, DL, CB, S) taken there. Whatever prospect grades out the highest, at any of those positions.
