The Morning Charge – 2/23/11

18. San Diego Chargers: Jon Baldwin, Pittsburgh

Mock 1.0 Pick: J.J. Watt

The Chargers could stand to upgrade their defensive line, which is why I had Watt mocked to them in my first draft. But Vincent Jackson is destined to play only one more year in San Diego and Malcolm Floyd is a free agent. Norv Turner’s vertical offense works a lot better when QB Philip Rivers has someone to throw to, which is why I could see the Bolts selecting a wideout in the first round.

San Diego

There are talks planned about a new stadium for the Chargers in San Diego.

My take: This is similar to the NFL labor talks. If there is communication, there is progress. So, these talks are significant.
