I dislike the Dickerson pick, but the idea that no other team would pick him in RD2 is absurd.

Horrible, horrible pick.

A lot of OL coming off the board and others are reaching for players. Maybe others wanted Dickerson too?

Only 24 more picks before you get to explode again.

Pace yourselves.

Maybe we trade back in. Not picking a corner makes no sense

Yes please.  As HE has said too, use Ertz and even a 4th to move up to the third, if possible.

Thomas Davis came back from 3 torn ACL's to still play at a high level. 

Frank Gore I can confidently say had 2 ACL's....maybe even 3. 

But yeah, ACL's are a career ender

 

But why not take a guy who doesn’t have that medical history who is as good a player

At 37, I’m all for a high upside player who doesn’t start right away.  But that medical history...are you kidding me?

No worries... our team doctor ok'd him.  And he can do it over Zoom.

 

 

And if anything goes wrong, our surgeon's license has been reinstated, I think...

He'll be ok.

We can argue the pick all day long....the bottom line is he could have traded down and taken Dickerson while getting more picks.  That alone makes it a bad pick.  

You are so fixated on value. Just understand not everyone is. If they loved him, I’m glad they stuck the pick.

Stanford OT got taken too with his ACL history. This appears to be the time when teams began taking the gamble on talented injured OL prospects.

RG3, Jamal Charles, and Jake Long say otherwise.

I wonder if a rumored Brooks trade occurs, and this guy gets on the field as a rookie.

What is this?

Pitts beat him for a 70 yard TD, lol

Watch the rest of the game. 

2 of the guys I wanted are still falling Asante and JOK. Might still have a shot lol.

Damn now I gotta hear about this pick for fing months SMH

All of these guys you're talking about are fit athletic freaks.  Dickerson is a 6-6 330 lb guy.  The amount of pressure on his knees just from his weight alone makes him a bigger risk.

330 pounds of pressure on a knee of an offensive lineman (who's body has been built to be an offensive lineman) is one thing.  Being someone like Gore or AP who put entirely more multi-directional strain on their knees is another thing entirely.

it was rumored that the eagles were shopping brooks. and ertz.

Then why did he tear the same knee twice? Lol

Once it fully heals there's no need for a brace.  The brace just gets them on the field sooner.

And seems he could play OG until Kelce leaves.

Not until he's back from the ACL.  He'll have to beat out Brooks coming off an Achilles to play RG, or Seumalo who will get all the reps while he's rehabbing at LG.  Should be easy to crack that lineup.

Howie gets some marginal credit for seeing the run on OL, staying put, and getting their guy.

Chargers select Asante Samuel Jr.

My point is that it's not necessarily a lock that his injuries are going to kill his career. 

Sometimes they do.  Sometimes they don't.  I never said it's not a risk - I'm saying there's reason to be optimistic.

Is that Principal Strickland from Back II The Future?

Landon Dickerson is a great player. Id be thrilled with him in the third. But alas. 

Chargers take Asante
