What if Bolts kept Eli instead of trading for Rivers? - Kevin Acee
They are questions as unfair to Philip Rivers and impossible to answer as they are logical to ask at this time. But they are all Chargers fans have now.
Pressure and the 2011 Quarterbacks - Khaled Elsayed
It’s something that can’t be discounted; a quarterbacks’ innate ability to avoid taking a sack. In some respects it is what separates the good and great quarterbacks out there, a QB knowing when to get rid of the ball. It’s one of the reasons why Dolphin fans are ready to move on from Matt Moore as he had the highest percentage of pressure turn into sacks (27.3%). He narrowly beat out Blaine Gabbert and Kevin Kolb who finished joint second with figures of 26.1%–the numbers speaking volumes for both men. Gabberts’ lack of pocket presence was as evident as it gets, while Kolb has always struggled with taking sacks.

Here’s what I can’t decide: do I love this ad with a dude in skivvies, wearing a ski mask, straddling a bear rug? Or do I hate that it’s all over my screen and I can’t look away? It’s either one of the best ever… or one of the worst.
Mouton aims to follow Butler's blueprint - Christopher Smith
The inside linebacker injured his shoulder during preseason play and missed his entire rookie season. Jonas Mouton watched Donald Butler recover from a training camp season-ending Achilles tear to become one of the team’s better players.
Chargers' Jammer lists two homes for sale - Lily Leung
Quentin Jammer, cornerback for the Chargers, and his wife have listed two homes for sale for a combined asking price of roughly $2.4 million, property records show.
Pass-rushers moving up the board - Todd McShay (Insider)
Jonathan Martin*, OT, Stanford San Diego needs an upgrade over current right tackle Jeromey Clary, and Martin has starting potential. He's still growing into his body and was not as dominant as I'd hoped when I went back to the 2011 tape, but he still has good run-blocking skills and remains a potential first-rounder.
McShay mock draft: Denver bombshell - Bill Williamson
18. San Diego: Jonathan Martin, Stanford tackle My take: He would be a great value pick for San Diego. If Martin is on the board at No. 18, I think the Chargers should jump on him, especially if there are no high quality pass-rushers available.

If Mouton has a year like Donald Butler...
then the Chargers will have the best ILB duo in the NFL in about 2 seasons. (assuming Butler can improve even just marginally from his great year.)

I'd have so much fun on my defensive analysis.
the video clip would just be a Butler/Mouton Montage of some sort.

Mouton wasn't/isn't nearly as well thought of as Butler.

This is quite true
Everyone loved Butler going into the draft. They just weren’t sure how high a workout warrior should go.

In Preseason, Mouton looked athletic.
If he learned the mental aspect of the game this year, I think he’ll be an improvement over Spikes next year
Not changing this signature until John Gennaro eats his hat.

its a little early for the over zeal
save it for the pre-season.

Probably because we just got to see Butler do just that
in the same situation

Granted Butler was a far more highly regarded prospect.

Wow... the BEST
ILB duo in the NFL?! You don’t think that’s a little extreme?
If pass rushers are moving up the board,
then AJ needs to trade up to where they are.

With all of the other issues the team has, is it really wise to trade up, though?

Bloody Elbow // "I think we're poking fun at Leland's 'boner.'" - Michael Fagan
depends on what he does in free agency.
but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him move up 3 or 4 spots if it meant picking a good OLB

Hopefully they'll at least have the safety issue taken care of before the draft.

He's done it before
though as Richard said, I’m not sure it’s wise to be sacrificing picks with all the needs this team has.

More 2007 than 2010.
I think it was the right move to go for Mathews at the time.

I have 4 in mind
SS – Mark Barron (Alabama)
CB – Dre Kirkpatrick (Alabama)
CB – Janoris Jenkins (N. Alabama)
CB – Alfonso Dennard (Nebraska)
You Figure these players HAVE TO BE
drafted in the top in the top 5 or 6 picks (no particular order):
Andrew Luck (qb)
Robert Griffin (qb)
Matt Kalil (OT)
Justin Blackmon (WR)
Then the next wave will probably be:
Trent Richardson (RB)
Reilly Reif (OT)
Dre KirkPactrick (DB)
Melvin Ingram (OLB)
Courtney Upshaw (OLB)
Finally I’m thinking the 3rd top group being:
Mark Barron (SS)
Luke Kechley (ILB)
Dave DeCastro (OG)
Quinton Couples (DE)
Kendall Wright (WR)
That’s 14 players right there. Another 3 picks before its our turn. Almost undoubtedly one of these players are going to be available (well maybe none on the 1st two lists) it just going to depend on movement in the top 6 picks. Fore example Washington probably wants to move up (albiet if they don’t have Peyton) and Rams could be willing to move down (although I think they need to use that pick on Blackmon or Kalil) as would be Minnesota if it ment more picks…. I think.
If they fill the top 17 picks with pass rushers
then there is a good chance that an Elite SS or on Very Good CB falls to us at 18. I think you have to take that (a DB at 18) if all the top OLBs are gone because if Pass Rush is our 1A on the list of priorities then DB has to be 1B (or even 1C depending on OLine). Whichever way we end up going though I don’t think we can go into this years draft without addressing 1 of our 3 priorities in some form or fashion whether it be pass rush, pass defense or offensive line.
Please keep chickens out of the toaster.

Butler was a beast this year.
How much of that can we attribute to Spikes?

Probably a little. I'd be uncomfortable claiming that he's a big factor.

Is there
issues on the D-line if both Castillo and Garay are gone?. If they’re, would a DT/DE pick in the first rd bother anyone in here?
No way they both walk...

If we lost the both
it would really cause us a big problem! To be honest I don’t think we can afford to lose either one without getting a suitable replacement for them in the FA market BEFORE the draft. I mean we can’t go into the draft with yet another hole to fill can we? And let’s face it, rook Defensive Linemen always have to adjust to playing in the NFL (so limited success) and almost always hit the “rookie wall” at some point in the season.
