[goldfishwars]

2. Do not select the same player for multiple choices, doing so will nullify your vote(s)
3. If you feel very strongly about 1 player as the choice, you may vote for 1st choice only and abstain from the 2nd and 3rd choice by selecting [[Leave Blank]]
4. If you think a player should be selected that is not listed, please respond with a post who should be the selection.

Do you keep copy/pasting me in on these? Lol

I'm going Wirfs, Herbert, then Simmons.

[Ragnarok]

Wirfs, Brown, Herbert

[Broncofan]

LAC needs a foundational T to pair with Okung (who's also getting long in the tooth).   They can piecemeal a stopgap QB, no QB is worth it who's left (and yes, I'm saying I wouldn't spend a 1st on anyone left, other than teams close to the 30's, if they want that cheap 5th year QB option).    Brown is the interior DL option that would cure their run-game weakness, and create absolute h*ll on QB's with Bosa/Ingram/Nwosu outside.

Wirfs

Brown

It seems nobody on this website is high on Herbert but he still get mocked/picked to go in the top 10 almost every time. I've watched a couple of his games and honestly I can see he has potential but never ever would I spend a 1st round pick on the guy, let alone a top 10 selection! 
I get that Rivers just wasn't that good last season and will probably be slightly worse next one, but I'd still take him or Tyrod Tayor over a rookie. Unless it's more of a long-term plan and Herbert would sit for a year or two to learn? Then that would make more sense, at least for me. 
Since the team doesn't appear far from contenting for the playoffs I would try to make a last push toward a championship with the roster LAC has. 
Add Wirfs (1st choice) to that OL and it could revert back to being average. 
Brown and Simmons would be my 2nd and 3rd choice, but OT makes more sense for the team.

No Simmons love? LB has been a issue for this defense for years.

6 is too high for an off the ball LB.

Especially when Derrick Brown is still on the board.

Simmons isn't a normal off the ball LB. The dude can play all over.

Devin White says otherwise.

Did you watch the game last night? Simmons was a monster. He's not an ordinary off-ball LB. He's a freaky chess piece and an elite athlete. Well worth the pick.

@Steins Gate please do not vote for the same person multiple times in 1 pick.

Narrow vote. 

Herbert (15x3) 45 + (4x2) 8 + (7x1) 7 = 60 Pts
Wirfs (13x3) 39 + (9x2) 18 + (2x1) 2 = 59 Pts

Herbert is the pick by the slightest of margins.

Funny since Herbert wasn't defended by a single person who voted for him highly. This seems like something that happens every year (especially in this first one) with regard to the QB prospect that people don't want their team to draft, but "Hey, he's a QB,' so let's have him go high so that more elite talent falls to the team I root for later on."  Happened last year too where people kept shoehorning Daniel Jones to the Chargers until (and sometimes even after) they signed Tyrod as the QB2.

[Chargers]

Issiah Simmons is the ideal pick here.

[DigInBoys]

Everyone's saying Herbert, but the Chargers badly need help on the offensive line and they already have Easton Stick to develop with Tyrod Taylor as a stopgap.

Based on 2 whole games? Good thing you aren't a GM.   Seriously I am on the fence. I like Herbert but after an underwhelming 2019 it's hard to know where he's at. The thing is Rivers is very nearly done and do you realistically think they'll have a shot at a better QB any time soon?  Herbert has the clear upside.
