Chargers 2017 draft class slotted as top-10 in NFL (usatoday.com)

LOL, turned out one of the worst in the last 10 years and there were some pretty bad ones.

[Boltinloudguy]

This is a joke?

In retrospect, they drafted top 10 and ended up outside the top ten in that one.

Mike Williams, Rashawn Jenkins, Desmond King and backups.

It was an average draft, which gets reduced to below average based on their drafting position.
They passed up on some studs at #7.

At the time Lamp and Feeney were considered good picks. I truly believe what happen with Feeney is the brillant coaching staff decided to play him out of his natural position which was RG. I think if they would have just played him there throughout training camp and in games, his career would have ended up differently. We all know that injuries derailed Lamp and was never able to come back strong.

And he's not better than Derwin James.

In what way is Derwin better than Baker?

Lol, dumb ass pundits can be wrong every year and still keep their jobs.

[Velo]

His cap hit this season is 16.87 mil. We cant afford him. He isnt cheaper than Derwin whose cap hit this season is over 7 mil less at 9.1 mil.

Derwin's cap hits:
2023: $9,106,400
2024: $19,856,400
2025: $23,856,400
2026: $24,606,400

Baker
2023: $16,871,359
2024: $17,975,000

Don't get me started.

We all hailed it as great after the draft.

Lamp and Feeney: Bolts stole Feeney from Belichick & Lamp - my Lord!
Rayshawn was going to be Gus's next big find.

How was Desmond King still sitting there?

Tevi has great upside: just learning the position. Wait till he gets in an NFL training room and is instructed by NFL coaching - Zounds!

James has a better sack, Int avg.per yr.
They are close to equal at tkls, PDs per yr
Baker has more games played per yr.

Yes but for this year he costs too much for us and Derwin dont. Derwin will also likely get a restructure down the road or Joey could be traded, or something will happen.

Gimpy Groin Guy needs to show up or he will be the most expensive back-up in NFL history for 2024 season. Needs to rehab as bad as JC Jackson or does he care?
