AfterMath of the Draft

We drafted a running back with the 12th pick overall. I was rather disappointed because I felt we really needed a defensive nose tackle or a defensive end. When McHoodie let Brian Orakpo slip to the Redskins for another running back, it gives me another reason to shake my head.

I didn't mind picking up Robert Ayers, but we have a boat load of line backers already!

What we're lacking is a few pass rushing defensive ends. Look McHoodie, we're going to have to beat the San Diego Chargers! Guess what? They have a franchise quarter back that is very talented, can make all the throws, and has lit up this defense over the past four years. Why? Because he has all the time in the world to pick apart the secondary. There has been no presence of pass rush in the past four season. Also, they have a couple of very talented running backs that like to make career games on Denvers defense (and special teams.)

Also, picking up little corner backs isn't going to work either. The Charger's have 6' 5" tall wide recievers and they use their height as an advantage! What is a little 5' 9" corner back going to do against that size. Physically they are already at a disadvantage. Look at what happened to Champ and Dre over the past couple of years. You really need to get some taller corner backs because Phillip Rivers knows all he has to do is throw the ball up high and they will out jump little corner backs all the time! San Diego knows this and have been using it to their advantage until someone decides to man up to their advantages.

But what do I know? I've only studied this team for the past 25 years or so! We'll see how things go when the real season gets going. Until then I guess we'll all have to wait.
