People haven been not giving the Mavs a chance since the beginning. ESPN even dropped this graphic before yesterday's games.... not even bothering to put the Mavs logo, rather just leaving their line as a sidebar. Just seems like the more people question or mock the Mavs... the more it pisses off Luka and the better he plays. People gotta throw some respect to Jason Kidd too, he's been fantastic in his first year as Mavs HC. Team has the 2nd best record since Jan 1st and are so much improved on the defensive side of the ball. I expect a good series but think its gonna be Mavs in 6. Long as Brunson and Dinwiddie can pitch in on the offensive side enough I see Dallas making it to the Finals.

Jordan Davis is a monster and before FA I'd be happy with the pick but since the Chargers signed SJD and Austin Johnson to go with Mack and Bosa I'm not sure there is room for him especially with a large hole at RT currently and the need for speed at WR. I think in this situation the Chargers would lean towards either Penning or Williams to fill one of those holes.

I'd probably prefer Williams over Olave at 17 but definitely think WR is on their mind in the 1st. Picking up a tackle in the 3rd is wise. Torn on TE in the 4th. Not a bad prospect but they just drafted Mckitty last year and Parham is just 24yo too. I think someone like Marcus Jones CB would be better to help fill some CB depth, a true slot SB lets ASJ come out wide, and you get someone who should be a pretty good return man at the same time.

Would doubt Chargers go LB in the 1st, can't imagine they've given up on Murray yet after just 2 seasons even though he did look pretty bad last year. Really think WR is likely, someone with some field stretching speed and yac abilities. Williams would be good there and gives Herbert someone who can take it to the house at any moment. Other needs would be the right side of the line but not sure anyone is available at 17 who would be worth it. They might consider another corner as well especially considering the air attack in the AFCW.

TT always has an out.

But wait... there's more...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUSTIN HERBERT!!! Coupon Tom strikes again. Chargers finally realizing they need to make some moves to get out of the loaded AFC. I'm pumped for this and would not be shocked to see something else go down.

For the Chargers I dont hate the players picked but one of those picks needs to be defensive help. Chargers really need a DT, CB, and edge. Their offense was very good last year but the defense cost them many games and MUST be upgraded heavily. I'd assume if they went London at 17 they must have let Mike Williams walk in FA. TE is a need but one I think they end up going with another stop gap FA with since they used a 3rd last year on a TE and have Parham who is a pretty good receiving TE.

Jordan Davis is a fairly logical choice here. Our run d was horrible especially on the line. It was common to have the line pushed back giving even average RBs easy yards. Beyond that you could look at corner as being another big need. Davis regressed, ASJ had concussion issues, and Chris Harris Jr was horrible but thankfully gone. After that the team has basically nobody worth mentioning. I wouldn't be shocked if a few DBs were taken in the draft depending on what happens in free agency. Right tackle is another position that will need to be sorted out as well as possibly right guard though I expect they try to bring Aboushi back as he played very well before injury last year. Do I think they use their 1st for that, I have my doubts, but its definitely a position of need currently. The fun choice, and possibly more realistic than people think, would be going for one of the top WRs. A lot of it depends on what the team ends up doing with Mike Williams though I wouldn't rule out WR in the first even if they bring him back depending on how the team feels about keeping Keenan Allen. I have a suspicion that they bring Williams back, draft a top WR this year, then unless Keenan has a stellar year they move on from him. He still has 3 more years on the books but after this coming season he could be cut to save $19m cap with only 2.7m dead cap for 2 years. He would be going on 31 which is usually the start of the downward trend for a lot of guys and he's already not the fastest guy in the building. Just don't see them wanting to pay him $22m plus Williams $20m+. Moving on in 23' with a group of Williams, Palmer, and the 1st rounder from this year would probably be smart long term.

Ryan Leaf Jermaine Fazande Jeff Graham The best combo ever.... because we went 1-15 then drafted LaDainian Tomlinson and Drew Brees.

Get used to "bend don't break" defense. Rarely blitzes and relies heavily on the front 4 to get pressure. Teams destroyed us with underneath crossing routes over and over. Takeaways have been lacking though that could be more the players themselves rather than scheme... though I swear I rarely see guys aggressively trying to swipe the ball out so that's in the coaching.

Still better than Lynn... lol I agree there are a bunch of good names out there and I think Daboll is who I'd lean towards.

Think if Guyton holds on to that bomb earlier he would have had the passing record now... gonna come up just short though. Don't get me wrong, its not the end of the world but it just sucks he's gonna come up JUST short.
