The LA Chargers select Desmond Harrison, West Georgia OT 6'6" 292
The Chargers should be looking for an upgrade over Russell Okung and Joe Barksdale at tackle. Harrison has a rare combination of physical and athletic traits. As a former basketball player has tremendous flexibility and twitch
Buffalo Bills - @WarGhost21 is next

I agree drafting Nelson is almost like drafting a healthy Luck but its likely that Connor Williams, Isalah Wynn or Bill Price will be available in the second round.
Sure Nelson can drive players 7 yards further than alternatives but that isn't vital at the O-Line position; all that's needed is that they drive enough to protect the passer and run block which I believe you can argue the 2nd round alternatives can perform at almost the same efficiency as Nelson.
That's why I believe its worth taking a gamble on Smith or Edmunds instead but I honestly am happy if any of the three are picked. It's hard to pick a bad player at #6, unless you're the Browns

Chargers will select Justin Reid, S, Stanford
Chargers missed out in not taking Malik Hooker in last years draft. Their 2017 starting safety Tre Boston is now an unsigned free agent and depth at that position is very bare. Justin Reid has been projected to come as early as the first round.
According to NFL online:
Reid is what teams are looking for at the safety position in 2018. He's a plus size/speed prospect who has the athletic ability to help with man coverage and the instincts and ball skills for ball-hawking duties on the back end. Reid can get himself into some trouble when he's overly aggressive, but his positive plays far outweigh the negative. He has the talent to become an early starter and a good one. Reid's instincts and play traits should make him a safe selection with Pro Bowl potential down the road.
The Chargers o-line are definitely in need of an upgrade but I feel the remaining o-line players are very weak.
Sorry for the wait I was in two minds on whether to draft Brian O'Neill or not. Also as I am rookie my posts have to be approved be a moderator so there is a considerable delay after I post

The only problem I could see is maybe a little too soon. I don't see him as injury prone, it was a freak injury. And he's powerful and fast for his size. Could be a great pick
I agree there are better running backs available with better potential but Chubb is a perfect replacement for Gore. Reich has said that we are going to punt less next year and Chubb and Guice are ideal for 4 and inches. Good pick!

With the 17th pick the Los Angeles Chargers select DT Vita Vea, Washington!
The interior defensive line’s production and effectiveness dropped off dramatically in 2017 for the Chargers. The Chargers' run defense ranked second-to-last in the NFL with more than 131 rushing yards allowed per game.
At 6-foot-4 and 340 pounds, Vea projects to the NFL as a nose tackle who is extremely strong at the point of attack. He ranked in the top 10 in both pass rush and run stopping percentage according to Pro Football Focus (PFF). The former Huskie tallied 93 total tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks, five passes defensed and two forced fumbles in 2017.
Also on my board were Da’Ron Payne, DT, Alabama, LB Rashaan Evans, DT Maurice Hurst and LB Leighton Vander Esch but I went with the player I believed to be the best defensive player available.
Vita will slot in alongside defensive end Joey Bosa and outside linebacker Melvin Ingram which will have bolts fans licking their lips.
(18) Seahawks - @PureLuck is up next!

This is a forum. There will be differences of opinions and they will be talked about.
Saying what you think is not bickering.
Oh, by the way, I did know Gavin and did hold a great temperament but he did speak his opinion.
To clarify disagreements are natural and I have no problem with them. When comments become personal and when people interpret things personally I think its time to breath and chill. We're all apart of the Colts nation, lets have fun!

Can we all behave like adults? I didn't know Gavin but this is a memorial draft and bickering isn't appropriate.
When all is said and done we can vote and decide on a consensus draft grade for each team; until then can we concentrate on the current picks.

I'll take the Los Angeles Chargers thanks!

I think he would be an excellent backup to Hooker.
As far as the kneeling goes I think he is entitled to protest peacefully. However a large portion of this fan base would disagree which is why they would be happy to hear that he has come out and said the he will end his kneeling protests. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/mar/22/eric-reid-ends-protest-national-anthem
Bottom line: I think if we were to sign him he could put his controversy behind him and excel on the field, gifting us a valuable trade next off season.

Atm I wouldn't let my kid play football. I think some rule adjustments should be introduced at an underage level e.g.
- Players can only tackle legally by wrapping their arms around the other player and tackling above the shoulders should be illegal.
- In New Zealand underage rugby teams are categorized by weight not age. This protects smaller players from injury and focuses games on skill rather than brute force.
