Print2010 NFL Draft, Pick 12: Chargers Trade Up For RB Ryan Matthews - Joel Thorman - SB Nation
It's not surprising that the Chargers drafted a running back in the first round but it is a surprise they moved this far into the first round to nab Matthews. They gave up a 2nd and a 4th round pick, which you don't need us to tell you is A LOT for a running back. He better be the second coming of Barry Sander

"When you see this guy play, you're going to understand why we made the deal we did," Turner said. "I think he's extremely special. I'm thrilled to get him here. I know our offensive line is going to be thrilled to get him here. I think Ryan's going to be excited to be here when he gets around our guys. He knows we're a good football team. He knows were a very good offensive football team."

2010 NFL Draft Tracker
What he brings: Matthews is a powerful downhill runner with above-average balance and the competitive nature to constantly fight for extra yards. While there are concerns about his ability to contribute as receiver early in his career and he has to refine his pass blocking, Fresno State didn't ask much of him in either area. We think he will improve in both areas as he gains experience. How he fits: With LaDainian Tomlinson gone to the Jets, Darren Sproles needed help. Sproles will remain the big-play threat and explosive returner but Mathews will quickly become the primary between-the-tackles runner. His combination of size, speed and balance will complement Sproles very well. Though the Chargers traded up, it was one of their primary needs and they filled it well.

Any more questions about A.J. Smith? The guy is a draft mastermind. San Diego just recharged its Super Bowl hopes on the wings of Charlie Whitehurst.

aww man...
so i just checked the schedule and the monday night opener is two days after my wife’s due date…i’m gonna need this kid to come out about a week and a half early so i can go to that game…i’ll die in my sleep (she told me so) if i go to the game when she’s still in the hospital or just getting home…i really don’t want to die, but i only get one chargers game a year here in chief country…it’s a real toss-up
"that wasn't a very good start to us getting our lives together. i didn't even go to work today."

bringing another charger fan into the world for the 2010 season...i hope i get a linebacker
The question is
Are you willing to die for your team?
I just want to get paid to draw naked girls, is that so much to ask?
Schedule a C section.
I’m sure the wife will be pleased to have her abdomen dissected, right?
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

it's a head-scratcher...
i mean, i’m willing to walk into arrowhead and talk like i’m at qualcomm, which can get a little crazy at times…i guess i only have a partial deathwish….i can handle 70,000 chief fans, but my wife can be really scary sometimes…she’s not thrilled about carrying my huge baby around as it is, i doubt she’d be up for a voluntary c-section…lmao

dude
My daughter was born during the 2008 Thursday night game against the Raiders. The tv was on (muted) and I remember the first time I held my daughter Jackson had just made some huge catch in Powder Blues against our most hated rival. It was pretty cool. It was also one of the games that started the teams late season run.

Richard used the same pic for his last two Serious Business posts. One is just smaller than the other.

I think SD needed to trade this far up to get him
I figured Seattle would nab him at 14 if Spiller was gone
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
