Draft Profile

Ben with the pick:

My bias definitely plays into this because I don't think there are many people who hate the chargers (namely Tomlinson) more than I do. I could pretty much go anywhere here because the chargers really only need to draft for depth, however I will point out that they will probably go for a tackle or corner somewhere in the draft, sooner rather than later. However, Tomlinson is almost 30 which seems to be the magic number for runningbacks. They just lost Michael Turner and unlike the Chiefs, the Chargers brass will prepare for life after LT jr (hes in no way Lawrence Taylor). I'm tempted to draft a CB out of Lethbridge for the Pronghorns, Ben Stone, just to screw over the chargers, but Chris would have a hard time finding a pick of me (unless he goes on facebook I guess), so Jonathan Stewart will have to do.
