This is a thread of how you would have drafted in 2019. You can only use prospects that were still on the board when we drafted. Use this tool to look back at the actual selections and rounds: www.nfl.com/draft/tracker/picksHere's mine. I tried to use my tiers as the draft proceeded. Based on my BPA and PON. 1. OT Greg Little. Once DT Dexter Lawrence and OT Andre Dillard were gone, Little was my highest rated player. Tillery was very close behind. 2. FS Juan Thornhill. I had him ranked a little higher than Adderley. 3. WR Kareem Butler. Chargers think they can weather T-Will's absence. I hope Pipkins can make the jump. 4. DT Daylon Mack. Once Dexter was gone in the 1st round, I turned my sites to Mack as my run stuffer. Chargers went with Tranquill. 5. EDGE D'andre Walker. It was hard to believe that he was still here. Needed depth at LEO. Chargers went with QB Stick. 6. RB Rodney Anderson. Another guy that fell in the actual draft. Depth behind MG3. Chargers went Egbule. 7. LB Terrill Hanks. Raw prospect that can play ILB or SAM. I had a 4th/5th grade on him. He went UDFA. Chargers went with Broughton. It should be interesting to re-visit these in a year or two. Maybe even keep track of what our team would look like after each year... |

I can totally see why the Chargers picked Tranquill over Mack though. The latter dropped all the way to the fifth round because he's merely a run stopper. Tranquill is one of the best coverage guys after White and Bush. His injuries are the main concern, but he also offers a lot of other upside over someone like Mack.

You could just use the Chargers' draft then and substitute another player in for the Easton Stick pick in round 5.
BTW, every year we claim we want to run the ball better and stop the run better at the end of the season. By draft time we are enamored with "BPA" and "playmakers" and we forget to address PON. Greg Little and Daylon Mack address those needs. Hopefully, we're not belly-aching about the same damn thing after a playoff loss next year...

And Rodney Anderson.....if there is something more fragile than a china doll, that's what he is. That would be an awful pick and would be in the trainers room more than Verrett was. Im fine with what Telesco did. Even the QB for which we didn't need and will take up a roster spot. |

The point of the thread was to see how your personal picks stack up against TT's picks... or other member's picks. I guess there are no takers.

I am one part amused and one part annoyed at all the armchair GM's who think they know better at assessing the 2000+ players that are draft eligible each year than NFL organizations that have dozens of personal people and budgets in the millions.
But hay, they have the interwebs.

While I do agree it is impossible for us to be on an even remotely equal level as the clubs in evaluating players, I feel pretty comfortable in evaluating the clubs' philosophy or approach or systems they choose to utilize.

I would not have taken a QB in any round.
