The San Diego Chargers didn’t get much out of the draft last April

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,The Draft Report by admin on Saturday 12 April 2008 at 7:16 pm

The Chargers generally do very well on draft day but last season was not a good one.  WR Craig Davis was taken in the first round and he did not play that well.  Davis played in 14 games (1 start) for the Chargers last season and he carried the ball 3 times for 9 yards (3.0 ypc).  He also caught 20 passes for 188 yards (9.4 avg) with 1 TD grab.  Davis returned 6 punts for 52 yards (8.7 avg) last season.  The Chargers expect more out of Davis in the future.  Safety Eric Weddle was the 2nd round pick for the Chargers last season and he is without a doubt the best player they drafted.  Weddle played in 15 games (0 starts) for the Chargers last season and he made 54 tackles, had 1 sack, defensed 6 passes and picked one off.  Weddle will be a starter for the Chargers soon.  3rd round pick (LB) Anthony Waters was a “redshirt” as he never made it to the field.  TE Scott Chandler was the Chargers’ 4th round pick last season and he played in 1 game and didn’t catch a pass.  In the 5th round the Chargers selected WR Legedu Naanee.  Naanee played in 13 games (0 starts) for the Chargers and he caught 8 passes for 69 yards (8.6 avg).  Inside linebacker Bradon Siler was the 7th round pick of the Chargers and he played decent.  Siler played in 15 games (0 starts) for the Chargers last season and he made 25 tackles.

GRADE FOR THE 2007 SEASON:  C-
