They must feel that others in the AFC West and/or AFC got more out of the Draft then we did?
Speculation at best........................

I hope you took it. I just went to oddschecker and best I can find is 66-1. Picking a SB matchup of Chargers/Cardinals is 350-1. LA matchup of Chargers/Rams 1000-1

They go with the money. Nobody putting anything down, they are trying to suck me in and it's working.

My offshore bookie has it at 57:1.

Seeing 50-66 so 57 looks about right. William Hill Vegas giving way better than WH U.K.

Ahmad Thomas (Oklahoma) is one of the players invited to chargers mini camp on a tryout. He's a big physical box safety. Was a four star recruit. Had a good junior year. Numbers weren't there his senior year and he had a disappointing 40 time of 4.66. However, I think he is someone that can fit this defense, maybe even as a linebacker. I can't believe I've written this much about a guy that probably won't even get a contract, but I've always liked his game.

Addae and Jenkins are locks to make the team.....the other 2 or 3 spots would seem to be wide open. Thomas could certainly earn himself a spot.

At the very least I hope he gets signed. His long speed might not be there but his short area numbers are. If he can add weight he'd be a very intriguing LB, but either way, he belongs in the box. He was also a great special teamer in college, and that's always the main way an undrafted free agent gets his foot in the door.
