Pancake Blocks Mock Draft: Pick No. 27
I had the Chargers pick in our video Mock Draft (coming out tomorrow). I took Jerod Mayo. Justin K. disagrees)
The Chargers don't have many glaring weaknesses, but they only have a few picks in this years draft, so they must choose players wisely. I think the pick should be defensive, since all the noteworthy RBs have been taken. As the team stands now, they shouldn't have any difficulty winning their division. Their problem will be in stopping the passing game of their playoff foes, the Patriots and Colts. The debate is in how to do so. As of late it seems that you can win with a sub-par secondary as long as your pass rush is top notch.
The question now is to go with a DB or a pass rusher.
There is no doubt that in this draft (at #27) the best value is at the Linebacker position. I can't believe Quinten Groves is still on the board. Dan Connor and Jerod Mayo should be stellar pros. Unfortunately for San Diego, they just signed Shaun Phillips and Matt Wilhelm to a long contract extensions last year, so there doesn't seem to be room for any of these guys on their roster. I want to draft one of these guys, but it just doesn't make any sense.
I'll settle for Kenny Phillips. He can play spot duty until he takes over for Clinton Hart next year. It doesn't excite me thought.

Don't whine to me, you're the one who wrote up your pick before you went on the clock.

I'd rather be whining about losing a guy rather than whining about taking him!

Shouldn't you be writing a new pick or something?
