Admittedly, Larry English was not on my radar. I was thinking running back. I was wrong.
The defensive end out of Northern Illinois was the 16th overall pick and the first round selection of the San Diego Chargers.
English is an OLB who joins a squad with Shawne Merriman coming off a serious injury. The rookie is fast, gets to the ball, sees the field, the only question mark being his lack of size compared to your top tier linebackers.

THE FACTS: Everyone expected the Chargers to trade the No.1 overall pick when Manning said he wouldn’t sign with them out of Mississippi. They couldn’t [...]

Mocks over at Sporting News and SI have the Bolts selecting the running back out of Georgia, one Knowshon Moreno. BoltBeat.com would like to announce its official endorsement of this choice. Thank you for the applause.
Moreno has met with the Chargers, no doubt the impression has been made. Will he be called by San Diego at #16? If he’s still on the board, I think it’s a no-brainer.
