San Diego Chargers linebacker, Shawne Merriman, has now began to comment about the recent incident he had with reality TV star, Tila Tequila.  Merriman, who was accused of choking and physically restraining Tequila, says he was only trying to stop Ms. Tequila from driving drunk.   It seems many people may have prematurely attacked Merriman (including myself) as Tequila was drunk and showed no signs of any serious injuries, according to a San Diego Sheriff’s Department spokesman. 

We do need to wait for all the facts to surface and if Merriman did physically harm Teqiulla then he deserves a lengthy suspension and a some time behind bars.  The Chargers GM A.J. Smith is always aware of his players actions off the field and according to the San Diego Union Tribune’s Kevin Acee he keeps a file on each individual player and any incidents they have had.  Apparantly Merriman’s file has gotten pretty thick and a long term deal with the Chargers will probably not happen as he becomes a free agent next year.

I have conducted a complete 7 round draft for every team in the NFL.  If you want to see what I have projected for any other team in the NFL, click on the team name in the right hand margin and go to the team’s Draft Report page if you don’t see the article on the front page of the site.  This was a lot of work so I hope you enjoy it.

The Chargers are all A.J. Smith’s team right now and that will show in this year’s draft.  Here’s who I think the Chargers will wind up with by the end of the month:

1. (30)  Dwyane Jarrett, WR, USC

2. (62)  Samson Satele, C, Hawaii

3. (93)  Daniel Bazunin, DE, Central Michigan

3. (96)  Aaron Rouse, S, Virginia Tech

4. (129)  Andy Alleman, OG, Akron

5. (167)  Syvelle Newton, WR, South Carolina

5. (172)  Chris Denman, OT, Fresno State

7. (240)  Cameron Stephenson, OG, Rutgers

The Chargers want to continue to get younger on the offensive line and they can do that if these players are available.  But the star of the show will be Dwyane Jarrett if he slides down to the Chargers pick….they need a WR really, really bad!
