BoltsFan937 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Haven’t heard a peep connecting us to anyone. Have heard some late rumors that Savage and Joejuan Williams may be taken late 1st. Wonder if that’s from us, considering we met late with Savage and Williams fits what Bradley would like in a corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they were not as high on teams' boards as people think. At least in the first round given what happened.

Telesco painted himself into a corner - as he tends to do - and the board didn't fall the way he needed it to (like it did last year) to pass on the positional need he'd done nothing to address all offseason and punt to the depth of Day 2. He passes on Tillery there and he's basically depending on (and probably having to trade up to get) Khalen Saunders, Renell Wren, or DreMont Jones. Also, Taylor has multiple medical red flags (back and knee, per Tony Pauline), so there's good reason to pass on him when you're talking about a 300+ lb man. I didn't think Tillery would pass Telesco's schoolboy inspection, but two schools of thought on that: Desperation made TT willing to forgive certain things or the Chargers actually have a culture with Lynn/Thomas Davis/Heyward that they feel confident in their ability to wrangle in guys who had character issues coming in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Eric Williams, Tillery was also the last player that the team had a first round grade on: http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41062466-4 Quote Looking to add some juice to their interior pass rush, the Chargers grabbed Notre Dame defensive tackle Jerry Tillery at No. 28. With his length and ability to push the pocket, Tillery should help Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram get home more consistently on the pass rush and improve the Bolts’ ability to stop the run. Chargers GM Tom Telesco said that Tillery was the last guy on the board his personnel department had a first-round grade on.

BoltsFan937 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I don't put a whole lot of stock in what the GM says immediately following the first round pick. What's he gonna say, "well we really had our heart set on Lawrence and Wilkins but they were gone so we settled for Tillery"? And it just so happens he's the last guy on our board with a first round pick at arguably our greatest position of need, thats awful convenient lol. Maybe they did have a first round grade on Tillery, who knows. I'm not unhappy with the pick, maybe not what I would have done, but I trust the front office, on to tomorrow night! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramxel Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I really like Tillery, was never sure on his draft value, but it's certainly a player that will improve our team. I could see them going tackle in that position also, but I'm not sold on any of them for the 1st/ early 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltsFan937 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 A lot of options still on the board for us...CGJ, Adderley, Murphy, Williams, Ford, McCoy, Jenkins, Risner...hoping for a run on wide receivers with Metcalf, Brown, Butler, Samuel, Campbell still on the board. Should be a lot of fun on Friday night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder if the coaching staff is thinking about kicking Lamp to RT. That could also explain TT not reaching for a tackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could also explain TT not reaching for a tackle. Other thought is they want Lamp at RG and don't want the entire right side to be starting their first NFL seasons. While we definitely needed IDL help which Tillery should bring, just imagine Rivers and Gordon having a solid O-line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenos Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Can't believe Adderly fell to us in the 2nd. I thought we needed to use our 28th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad he stayed put, Adderley is a major upgrade from Addae. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we might go up too. Have to give it to Duffman, he called Tillery in the first and said wait for a safety to fall. He was dead on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
