Great guy all around though, but yeah ESPN did a big thing on whether he was being dropped because of his intelligence and taking the Rhodes Scholarship.
Haha I was hoping that the sarcasm of my post would come through just from the sheer inanity of that statement, but afterall it is just text.
Agreed, he runs with the same violence and athleticism. I just hope AJ hasn't removed him completely from his draft board.
neither do, look at it this way if we start losing to bad we'll just send blount out there and beat the other teams ***
Norvell talking about Donald Butler...http://www.chargers.com/media-vault/videos/Norv-Turner/0df16758-4f88-4ef4-b175-7c9868376a42
I think we have a clean shot to LeGarette Blount Don't really see anyone else I'm really fired up about
WalterFootball grades so far. They like our second day picks. 2010 NFL Draft Grades: 12. Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State The Chargers moved up from No. 28 to get Ryan Mathews. Some may consider that a reach, but he was the only sure-fire every-down back remaining on the board, and he fills San Diego's biggest need. I really like this pick - Mathews is perfect for San Diego's offense. Still, it's a lot to give up to go from No. 28 to 12. (Pick Grade: B) 79. Donald Butler, ILB, Washington The Chargers traded Tim Dobbins yesterday, so a need at inside linebacker opened up. Lots of scouts are high on Donald Butler, as his stock rose a ton between Janauary and April. (Pick Grade: B) 110. Darrell Stuckey, SS, Kansas Darrell Stuckey is a solid value here and fills a position of need. Good pick. (Pick Grade: B) 146. Cam Thomas, NT, North Carolina How could these teams allow Cam Thomas to drop to the Chargers like this? Thomas was a second-round prospect and fills a huge need for San Diego. (Pick Grade: A) 168. Jonathan Crompton, QB, Tennessee Jonathan Crompton has the physical skills of a starting quarterback, but really needs to be coached up. He's a really good developmental project. (Pick Grade: A) http://www.walterfootball.com/offseason2010sd.php
I don't love this pick, looks to me like a 3rd TE/practice squad player. I think we could have used another RB, or OT depth.
