Long did his best work in the 3-4 in that same position did he not?

The Chargers are in a tough spot because they only have one pick in the first three rounds. They need help on the right side of the offensive line, but also could use CB/S help, an inside linebacker, or a new DT.
If they had other picks, I might hold out and take Reggie Smith or Kentwan Balmer for defensive help, planning on getting OL later, but since I only have one shot here, I have to go OL.

Therefore, the Chargers are going to have to draft Jeff Otah as their future RT.

Long is better suited to be a 3-4 end than a 3-4 OLB in the pros.

Gholston is better suited to be a 3-4 OLB. It's the playmaking position in that defense and he's the most explosive athlete and player in the draft. The guy was a bigtime player at a huge program and he's a fucking freak of nature...probably synthetics too though :)

Good pick, I like this much more than Kentwan Balmer, who would be a fairly awkward fit for the Chargers' nose, although he'd be surrounded by such good DEs they could probably get away with it.

I would have picked Reggie Smith for them, actually, until they released Olivea.

Uh.... :shake:

Somehow, the Cowboys knew it would fall this way. When Rogers-Cromartie went early, the Cowboys felt confident that they could take the BPA with their first pick and still get their guy with their 2nd first round pick.

With the 29th pick, the Dallas Cowboys select Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas. No other CB in the draft has the upside, or the downside, that Talib has. What he lacks in physical gifts he makes up for with a tremendous ability to make the big play. This late in the 1st round, that ability was just too hard to pass up.

Knock it off......it's not funny it's annoying....

I want to share a team with somebody. Give me the autonomy for some input or I will continue to hijack this thread. Don't **** with me!!!!

It'll be exciting when you get banned eh?

Wow, this kid is special.

And the Cowboys get away with a damn fine 1st round. Chris Williams AND Aqib Talib......now if they get a RB in the 2nd round....they're pretty set for next year.

I leave to go to the grocery store, and this happens?

:cuss:

Good job getting that cleaned up Mecca - though for some reason I could still see his posts - so I "deleted" them again.

No, I think it's bsp4444.

I want those picks! I hope their bonner for Mcfadden is larger than we know! Although I'm not sure Talib would be my CB. Leodis Mckelvin or Reggie Smith would be my personal picks. Then we could turn around and pick high in the 2nd. Maybe Pollack OC, Caldwell WR, Henne QB, or Young G. That would be a nice start to the first day!

You're absolutely correct. My mistake.
