Possible Day 3 Targets for the Chargers

After the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night Authentic Casey Hayward Jersey , Charger fans were likely celebrating long into the night (cough...cough...KYLE POSEY) after their improbable selection of Florida State safety Derwin James at #17.When the final seconds of the clock ticked away signaling the end of the third round on Friday night, the LA faithful were left with a much more sour taste in their mouth. After riding an enormous high into day 2, it feels as if most of the optimism going into day 3 stems from the old saying “we can only go up from here”.The selections of former USC linebacker Uchenna Nwosu and North Carolina State defensive tackle were definitely ones of need, but they, unfortunately, felt a tad bittersweet. To me, they were just the right players but at the wrong time.Obviously, time will tell with all of these prospects but that won’t stop me from being overly optimistic once again as the Chargers maneuver through rounds four through seven today.Here is a short list of targets I would like to see the Chargers consider on this final day of the NFL Draft:Kyle Fitts Youth Melvin Ingram Jersey , EDGE, UtahFitts would be a local-area product that could make some sense in the fourth or fifth round after the Chargers recently rescinded the tender placed on DE Chris McCain. The 6-foot-4, 264-pound, Fitts was a Senior Bowl invite and most recently worked out for the Chargers at their local pro day before visiting with the team afterward.Tyrell Crosby, Offensive Tackle, OregonCrosby has been one of the most surprising prospects to see still available on the third day of the draft. As one of the better run maulers in this class, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Chargers invest in a player who could come in and start immediately at the right tackle position.Josey Jewell, Inside Linebacker http://www.chargersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-brandon-mebane-jersey , IowaNot an incredible athlete at the position but a phenomenal football player, nonetheless. One of only several linebackers in Iowa history to amass over 400 career tackles in his career. Jewell always seems to be around the ball and posted one of the best 3-cone drills at the combine at 6.80 seconds. Would battle for a starting middle linebacker position from day one.Kalen Ballage, Running Back, Arizona StateIt’s hard to feel super confident in Ballage as a potential starter in the NFL when he spent his time at Arizona State splitting carries with another back who isn’t getting much draft publicity at all. However, Ballage possesses elite size and speed for the position and has the versatility to be utilized as a third-down back or in the slot which will help keep defenses on their toes. If he learns to run with the pop of a 230-pound back, he could be a heck of a player in Anthony Lynn’s offense.Daurice Fountain, Wide Receiver, Northern IowaA big-bodied receiver that would have blown the doors off the combine if he were invited. After posting a 42-inch vertical jump and dominating the competition at the FCS level and at the East-West Shrine game Tyrell Williams Jersey , Fountain has checked off all of the boxes necessary to be considered a potential steal of the draft. Regardless of whether you believe the Chargers wide receiver room to be crowded or not, you can never have enough pass-catchers who can go up and come down with 50-50 balls. Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has played his way into the edges of the MVP conversation, and at age 36 the question persists as to how long he’ll play football.Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Chargers want Rivers for “years to come.” It’s not quite clear what that means; he’s under contract only through 2019. When the time comes to talk about an extension, it will be important for both sides to be clear about how long Rivers wants to play, because any signing bonus money applicable to years beyond his willingness to play would technically have to be repaid.Last year, after Russell Wilson echoed Tom Brady‘s desire to play until the age of 45, Rivers laughed at the possibility, making it clear in a visit to PFT Live that he’ll be coaching his son’s high-school football team at age 45. Rivers hasn’t said whether that means he’ll play beyond Authentic Keenan Allen Jersey , or even to, the age of 40.Rivers turns 37 in less than two weeks. If the Chargers indeed want to keep him around through the opening of the team’s new stadium in 2020, it will make plenty of sense for team and player to have a frank, candid discussion about how long he wants to play, and how long the team wants him.
