Open Thread: 2011 NFL Draft, Rounds 2-3

So, the Chargers sure do have a lot of picks today, huh? There could be 5 new Chargers by the end of today! That's exciting. I'm hoping at the end of today the Chargers have a new CB (Donald Strickland won't be around forever, and we're going to need to start grooming someone to take Jammer's spot), a new WR (to replace Vincent Jackson and/or Malcom Floyd), a new 3rd down RB that can return kicks (Darren Sproles is gone and needs to be replaced) and.....I don't know.

 

Take your pick with the fourth pick. An OT to challenge Jeromey Clary? Sure. An OLB to challenge Larry English/Antwan Barnes? Why not? A Safety to challenge Darrell Stuckey? Wouldn't hurt.

Unlike some other people, I won't be crushed if the Chargers don't take an OLB. I don't know that there's anyone out there that's really going to come in and take the job away from Barnes and English, and with Antwan Applewhite and Shaun Phillips rounding out a group that will be getting back Jyles Tucker....the team is not dying for depth there. Picking an OLB just because you think the English pick is a bust is silly, and not how A.J. Smith operates.

Anyway, DAY 2! Let's do it.

Damn Pats

New England is once again in perfect position to screw us over in the second round. They have the first pick in the 2nd at #33 where they have a myriad of options from trading down to taking the best 3-4 pass rusher available (Reed, Sheard, or Houston), all of whom the Chargers are most likely looking at. Even if they do decide to trade back, they could still be poised to pick one of those guys before us. There is a lot of room after the Pats pick to have the remaining pass rushers snagged before the Chargers pick at #50. Then who picks again at #56? The Pats.

The Chargers get to pick again at #61, but guess who is picking right before them at #60? Yup, the damn Pats. I would not be surprised to se the Pats take a WR at #60 that the Chargers have their eyes on.

So...you aren't hoping for a new OLB?

You said that you are hoping for a CB, WR, and 3rd down RB but not another OLB?

by jkvandal on Apr 29, 2011 2:52 PM PDT reply actions  

I mean, I see that you mentioned it for the 4th pick

but that is my #1 priority with the #50 pick: Ayers, Sheard, Reed, or Houston. If they aren’t there at #50, take a WR (Cobb sounds perfect for the slot WR/KR/PR need) and take OLB Dontay Moch with #61…

They traded the their original second rounder (#4)

But why was their original second rounder #4 and not #2?

And in the third round they pick 3rd

so there must have been some kind of tie breaker to decide pick between the Donkeys, Bills, and Bengals.

I think a guy like Cobb there is more justifiable

as a Slot WR/KR/PR. If you consider their contributions as KR/PR a wash, you have to ask who has more of an impact: Slot WR or (maybe) Nickel CB? I would argue Slot WR is more of an impact player but that’s just me. If we can get an impact player later I guess it’s okay

He clearly has some things to learn

If he’s going to play safety. Reads could be a lot better, and he needs to square up on the ballcarrier. Weddle can teach him both of those things, if he stays. Of course he might be playing Nickel, but I expect the Chargers like his versatility and mean to use it.

Which usually are plays that don’t work as well for them. They like to run between the tackles a lot.

From NFL.com

“Mouton will probably find a home as a backup outside linebacker on a team that deploys the Tampa-2 where he can play in space and drop into zone coverage – two of his strengths. He’s vulnerable when teams run at him. Doesn’t possess the strength to shed blocks and can lose gap integrity when shooting gaps instead of taking on blockers. Shows great effort rushing the passer but just doesn’t have the natural tools to consistently get to the quarterback. Mouton can make some plays dropping into zone coverage and make some big hits in the open field. Potentially a mid-round selection.”

From the chiefs page
NFL Draft Scout ranks Mouton as the 23rd best outside linebacker and projects him to go in the 7th round of the NFL draft, or go undrafted. He is 6’1" and weights 239 pounds. Despite playing outside during his college career, Mouton himself has been telling media at the NFL Combine that the 3-4 defensive teams speaking with him have him potentially pegged as an inside linebacker in the NFL.

One explanation I can think of

is that AJ and the Chargers’ scouting department uses a significantly different evaluation system than the public ones like Scouts Inc. and the various draft experts. Then when AJ makes his selections, he makes them almost entirely based on how he values the players, and not on how other teams value them.

The result is that he takes players he values highly way ahead of when others would potentially take them.

CB Project pick

He has a lot to learn but is more of a true CB than Gilchrist. I think this supports the idea that Gilchrist was drafted to be a safety. Maybe AJ hopes this guy can be the future starter opposite Cason. At the least, he can help on ST. I get the impression that’s a big part of the choices made today.

we need ST to be an area that Chargers are better than most teams, a true strengh and a threat. To be fair, I don’t think such a change is possible in a single draft.

I think

AJ is trying to get guys to fit our needs on O and D while keeping ST in mind. ST brought us down last year, and needs to be corrected. I think AJ is putting his focus there, given a lack of dire needs elsewhere.

No one thinks that Gilchrist can start at CB. I don’t believe he can start at S either. So where does that leave us?

A nickelback that returns kicks. Which is what I have and will believe he is.

I like some of the picks

I tend to trust Mayock quite a bit, Gilchrist was one of his favorites, Liuget if he can hold up straight up on running downs, will be very interesting as a DT pass rusher on nickel downs.

Vincent Brown is a very developed player, very good routes, and he seems to pluck the ball easily.

Just not buying the Mouton pick.

Agreed

We need Weddle to mentor Gilchrist, at least. I’d rather see Weddle stick around for a few more years as Gilchrist learns and Jammer ages. Maybe Wright develops into a legit starter. If we don’t see progress from him I expect a CB drafted high next year. You can’t just throw a rookie CB into the starter’s role, and Jammer won’t be able to pull it off forever.

Sooo...

In hindsight, I’d rather have traded both of our 3rd round picks to move up and get guys we really liked in the 2nd.

I thought AJ was the guy who came out and said that we could really get guys who could step up and be impact players in 2011…I see one: Liuget.

Gilchrist and Mouton are projects, who MAY be able to play special teams. Brown is not an upgrade over Crayton or Naanee, and Wright is another project.

I would have rather come away with three players like Liuget, Brooks Reed, and Brandon Harris than the 5 guys that we ended up with. We got too many projects with not enough immediate impact.

Maybe I'm being too optimisc, to the point of delusion, but

Mounton supposedly is kinda good on coverage, which could be a good complement with Butler who seems better against the run, while still being athletic enough to “hit people on the face (teeth?)” to quote Cooper. Maybe there IS an upside.

 Liuget was arguably the best player in this draft for the chargers, we wanted strength and a counter to KC and OAK

I have no problem with the players we got

just when we took them. You draft starters in the first rounds, not special teams players. I agree that was a need, but we could have gotten those players much later. We still need starters at OT and on D. Most of these guys are projects IMO.

by Eman3737 on Apr 29, 2011 8:02 PM PDT reply actions  

No real concerns there

We have solid OL backups, depending on how the CBA works out. I think it’s clear by now AJ means to keep what he has there. We have Sperry and Wilson as backup TEs. Backup RBs are a dime a dozen, with sufficient talent in the late rounds that we ahve no need to go for somebody higher. How many RBs were drafted in the first three?

High impact draft huh?

So AJ took our 5 early round “high impact” picks and used three of them to take projects and special teamers who are not particularly “high impact” and who had mid-low round grades. Just for perspective we could have taken Greg Little and Dontay Moch in the second (both have huge ceilings) which would have better adressed our needs and probably still gotten all of AJ’s pet projects in the 3-6 round. I have regularly defended this guy, but since when did AJ become Al Davis, focusing in on one guy and taking him regardless of his value and ignoring the strategy of the draft. I have a feeling this is AJ/Norv’s last season.
