Chargers to trade #1 Pick?


Recommended Posts

The New York football Giants are in talks with the San Diego Chargers about trading for the #1 overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft. The Giants hold the #4 pick in the draft. With the #1 pick, the Giants would draft QB Eli Manning and with the #4 pick the Chargers would likely select T Robert Gallery. The Chargers would probably use their additional pick(s) from the Giants to select a WR.

I'm gonna go ahead and call Bad Idea for San Diego on this one.

The last 2 times they have had the #1 pick they have

1) drafted Ryan Leaf .. who was a major flop as you all know

and

2) traded it to the Atlanta Falcons, :woot: who then selected the most exciting, and possibly the biggest playmaker in the league, Michael Vick. The Chargers were able to draft LaDanian Tomlinson, but still, you know they regret passing on Vick. Oh well, tough.

I dont see how you can justify trading away youre chance at Eli Manning. He's going to be good. You cant just pass on a guy directly related to Archie and Peyton Manning, its in his blood to be a pro QB. Also, what good is a left tackle or a wide receiver going to do if youve got a middle of the road QB like Brees, and the 41 year old Doug Flutie. They've got to keep this pick if they know whats good for them.

Well, its not all that bad of an idea, IF, and only if, youve already got a franchise QB. Neither of these 2 teams needs to be drafting an offensive lineman.. now, if atlanta were to get their hands on a top 5 draft pick.. we've got our quarterback, and we've got a decent, not great, but decent receiving corps. Our offensive line is pathetic though, part of the reason Vick has to scramble so much.

I can see the point, but very good OL can be found mid rounds.

Wasn't Orlando Pace drafted #1? He sure is a damn fine tackle and a nice reason the Rams can throw bombs down field. The only thing you don't draft in the first round is a kicker, Al Davis is a moron. Drew Brees will be good if he has:

A) Time to throw the ball

B) Short and long recievers

C) A running game

D) A system like New England

A tackle gives him time, but they have absolutley no on for a WR. I honestly can't name one of them. Tomlinson will have to lead them in running and recieving, which makes it easy to defend them. Send a spy LB to watch Tomlinson out of the back field, done. And give Brees a simple system like the Pats. They throw 3 step drop-passes over the middle for 5-7 yard gains. Move the chains and eat up the clock. Manning will be horrible here just like Brees this year, you can't blame a quarterback for awful recievers, sorry.

Current Giants QB Kerry Collins has responded to the trade rumors, which could affect his starting job.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants' interest in acquiring the No.1 pick in the draft from San Diego hasn't changed quarterback Kerry Collins' feelings about next season.

The Chargers acknowledged Wednesday that the Giants have discussed acquiring the pick, presumably to draft quarterback Eli Manning.

That didn't seem to worry Collins, whose future in New York would be in jeopardy with Manning in town

"I take pride in the way I play," said Collins, who led the Giants to a Super Bowl appearance in 2000, a year after the team revived his troubled career. "This organization has treated me well. I still have a lot of fight. Every time I go out there I am going to give it my best."

I don't get the Chargers. They have their starter. His name is Drew Brease. Honestly, he was amazing in Perdue and will be a great QB to come. San Diego doesn't need Eli. If they give up the pick to NYG not only should they get the #5 pick but they should use the #1 pick for all it's worth.

@ Boog: Tony Mandarich was a beast. He was so heavily touted coming out of college. I highly doubt we'll see another O.Lineman that hyped up any time in the near future.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
