At The Beginning Of The Season

[6025]

Clowney plan.

[QSmokey]

At this point, I'd rather the Chargers go after a pass rusher with #1 next year, providing a good one is available when they pick. Dunlap looks like he can be a pretty decent LT stopgap for another year or more if necessary.

Right now OLB is much weaker than LT.

Well, that OLB pass rusher is supposed to be Ingram, right? And we need OL depth, which Dunlap would provide. We can, and perhaps should, go with your plan for our 2nd-round and/or 3rd-round picks, but I guess either way would be OK.

Is Freeney going to be here next year?

JJ is playing alright but I'd really like to see an upgrade there since he can't really rush the passer.

English is a bum but if he's here next year, he's just depth. I don't see anything in Tourek Williams.

They need another legitimate OLB to go with Ingram much more than a LT IMO. And who known if Ingram will pan out to be anything. He's still an unknown.

Next season, God willing, we will have:

- Manti back
- Ingram back
- Williams back
- Taylor in the lineup
- 2nd-round and 3rd-round (picks #35 and #77) spent on defense
- Perhaps, finally, a decent (i.e., somewhat expensive) FA pickup
- Some additional depth, everywhere

And a starting LT, taken at #3.

How about a new solid RB to go along with Woodhead? Maybe that will be the FA pickup but a 3rd-4th rounder would be nice if the talent is there. Oh and no more Mathews...

4th round, sure. I don't want to 'waste' a draft pick on a running back any earlier than that if we don't have to. A FA pickup is also cool with me.

Yes.
He's never been able to rush the passer, so that's not why he's here.
Depth.
Too early to shine TWilliams, but he is nothing special so far, I'd agree. Depth. Walker has been pretty good depth, too.

We can go OLB in the 2nd or 3rd. Let's NAIL DOWN this LT spot if we have the chance, I say!

Next season, God willing, we will have:

- Manti back
-Cason back
-Jammer back
-Bigby back
-Martin back
-Phillips back
-D Williams back
- Ingram back
- Williams back
- Taylor in the lineup
- 2nd-round and 3rd-round (picks #35 and #77) spent on defense

Atari Bigby. Telesco is an idiot because the FA he didn't sign signed with other teams, the fact that they are inactive is meaningless. Proof. Telesco is also an idiot because the FA he didn't sign are no longer in the NFL. Double Proof. Flawless logic.

Which position is weaker right now? OLB or LT?

Why can't we go LT in the 2nd or 3rd?

Of course it all depends on which player is there to take when the Chargers pick but right now I see OLB as a much greater need.

Its not about whats weakest right now but what will be weakest next year.

Right now, its a tie for me.

[sandiego17]

Next season at OLB you will potentially (I believe most likely) have Ingram and Freeney. At LT, King Dunlap backed up by Harris. Depends on who is available (obviously), but kind of hoping for an impact OLB and a development type LT at this point.

Is that a trick question?

I guess, as you say, it all depends on who is there. If the top LT (is it Lewan?) and the top pass rusher (I'm thinking Clowney, if the recent questions about his dedication prove baseless) are there when it's our turn, who do you take?

Unfortunately Jax, Pitts, the Giants, the Raiders and Washington are giving us a run for the money! I think it would be difficult for Jax NOT to have the #1 pick; Raiders perhaps #2. Both could use a QB, of course, so it might not affect us so as much if we're drafting #3. I gotta believe that Jax takes a QB, almost certainly.
