| i'd consider trading a next year six to move up to somewhere now.
Take Mickens (CB) and then with our other 7th rounder take a RB.
Mickens should have gone much much higher.

| Here goes. Nothing better to do so I'll rate our draft!
Round 1 (9th)- B.J Raji- NT- Boston College
Great pick up. Can learn behind Pickett at NT, rotate at DE for some downs. Play in 4-3 packages. He's the complete package at NT. The only real pick we could make.
Grade
Round 1 (26th)- Clay Matthews- OLB- USC
Thompson loves this guy and although I'm suprised we moved up I trust him. He really wanted Nelson last year and although maybe high he got him also. Clay was mocked to go as high as 11th to the Bills so to get him at 26 is a steal. I was concerned about giving up a 2nd and two 3rds but it panned out OK.
Grade
Round 4 (109th)- T.J Lang- OT/G- Eastern Michigan
Could have gone much higher, as high as the bottom of round two. Great depth and can play virtually every Offensive Line position. Typical Ted Thompson pick. For value alone it gets a A.
Grade
Round 5 (145th)- Quinn Johnson- FB- LSU
I'm not sure on this pick. He is a huge guy and I suppose for that reason he fits the up the middle run game that we are trying to employ. Kuhn and Hall, who we already have, are more than capable players at FB. Much better players available.
Grade
Round 5 (162nd)- Jamon Meredith- OT- South Carolina
Absolutely sensational selection. I would have settled for him in round 2/3 if we had a pick. This makes up for trading away one more pick than I would have liked for Clay. Phenomanal depth.
Grade
Round 6 (182nd)- Jarius Wynn- DE- Georgia
Pretty decent prospect and definately good depth for the new system. Greater value was available though. Time will tell if it was a great pick and he develops to be a starting DE.
Grade
Round 6 (187th)- Brandon Underwood- CB- Cincinnati
Mike Mickens should have been the CB to pick at this point if we want an out and out corner. This pick makes sense because he can convert to Safety and Collins is alledgedly going to hold out. After that it is good depth at both position.
Grade
Round 7 (218th)- Brad Jones- LB- Colorado
Again, good value pick and depth for our new 3-4. Developmental player and could see some game time. Definate Thompson special teams player. Nothing else left to get at this point
Grade
Great draft in all. We filled every hole we needed to and added some key depth players.

| Chargers take Larry English with the first. Bye bye Mr Merriman (that's the big fear anyway). All in all I'm not to disappointed with the draft. Added some big nasty guys that we need. I am intirgued with the Canadian prospect NT we took in the 5th, Vaughn Martin.

Free Agent now.
He most likely goes back to Seattle anyway.

Do I take it that Clay Matthews is the son of Clay Matthews and nephew of the Hall Of Fame great Bruce Matthews of the Houston Oilers and Tennessee Titans ?

| With the family connection now in Houston, I thought he'd have gone to the Texans at 15 but they went for his buddy, Cushing.
FWIW I like what I've read on Matthews and think he'll do well in Green Bay.

Hopefully he will.
I really like the Larry English pick for you guys. He's a great talent. Slight reach considering most thought he could fall to low first round or to us in the second.
Maybe no more Shawne "Nandrolone" Merriman in San Diego?

The more I think about it, the more I like the pick. We were cr*p against the pass last year, really sh*t. The main reason, with hindsight, was the lack of pressure on the QB. Rivera changed it up a bit after he came in, but it was still below average. Yes, Merriman was out and he's back next year, but if he goes down again we'd be screwed. Shaun Phillips was seemingly immune from critisism last year, even though he was shown up for playing on Merrimans reputation a little bit, I do still rate him highly though. Alot of people balmed the secondary, but Jammer and Cromartie are talented, and Weddle is a good safety. Clinton Hart is gash, but that doesn't make the whole unit the 31st against the pass in the league. It was the pressure, or lack of it. Hopefully English will help out with that. If we get him and Merriman tearing it up, with Phillips back up to a decent level of play, our defence will be back.
In 2 years, Merriman will not be a Charger. They want to tie up Rivers and Gates first, plus Merriman will want Haynesworth money. If they could get away with the kind of contract Harrison is on we'd have a chance, but he'll want more.
If anyone wonders why the Chargers have been so dominant in the AFC West, look at the other teams drafts. Christ almighty, Xanders and McDaniels have played a blinder in Denver. Giving up next years first for Alphonso Smith? Moreno has talent, granted, but they have another 46 running backs on their roster [size(that's an exagerration)[/size. The Chiefs take Jackson at 3? We discussed him earlier being a good fit on paper at either SD or Green Bay, but no 3? With Curry on the board? Crikey. I thought Pioli was a genius? And Al Davis is Al Davis. Long live the king and all that.
I really like Green Bays draft. Raji is a beast. Matthews is a good player with great potential & Lang is a player I had my eye on for the Chargers!!
