SAN DIEGO CHARGERS DRAFT PICKS 2012.. HIT THE NEEDS.. ??
 The Chargers hit heavy with defense . OLB , DE , AND STRONG SAFETY .. hopefully they come through , if so , The Chargers may make some noise next year.. The drafting of another TE and RB seems to say they feel not too secure in those spots. We have a aging and injury prone Antonia Gates and a young but undersized and indecisive runner in Ryan Mathews. He has the talent , but lacks mental strength and decisiveness. The loss of Vincent Jackson will hurt the Chargers,, I'm not sold on the Eddie Royal or Robert Meachem making much impact. Royal is kind of a poor mans version of Darren Sproles , and Meachem is a poor man version of VINCENT JACKSON.. Some one has to step up.. Perhaps Vincent Brown,, or what? But I see a unpredictable season for the chargers , relying on so much young and inexperienced talent can lead to close game losses late in the year.To be honest I see the broncos repeating as Division champs.. with the Raiders , Chiefs and Chargers following right behind. The Chargers are no longer the power house in the division and they will struggle again as they try to find a balance of run and pass. The chargers made good picks , but no one they selected will make major impacts , at least I don't think so. The Chargers will rely on Rivers making magic and hopefully other offensive stars play consistently.. If not look for another average season and talks of moving to LA
   BOTTOM LINE ; The picks hit their needs , but like seasons past , todays  Draft picks that make the team are few if any and the contributions these players make next season,, depends if they can stay healthy. The Chargers need some attitude players on defense , and the offense needs to protect RIVERS,, IF SO,, this team could contend for the division title, but until they get a better defense and a run game that is clutch at crunch time, I see the same old results of creating highlight reels , but falling out and fading on the Playoffs..The Broncos and Raiders , Chiefs have much better defenses than the Chargers and offensively , The Chargers may have a slight edge, but The other teams have much better run games late in the game. Its still early , but I dont feel a strong sense of accomplishment with this draft class. But time will tell and when the seasonkicks offs .. all of us will be hoping for the best...
