Washington State’s Andre Dillard

According to Adam Schefter. Dillard has steadily made the rounds to a number of NFL teams and looks to be one of the most coveted players at his position.The former WSU Cougar has been one of my favorite prospects to watch this year and with the Chargers in desperate need to upgrade the right tackle position, it’s been even more fun to imagine Dillard pass-protecting for Philip Rivers in the twilight of his career.At 6-foot-5 and 310 pounds, Dillard was a top performer at the NFL Combine when he was one of four offensive linemen to run a sub-5.0 forty while excelling at the full gambit of athletic tests.One of the most notable drawbacks to Dillard’s game is the pass-heavy Air Raid scheme he was a part of under head coach Mike Leach. This obviously groomed him to be a top-tier pass protector but the lack of experience drive-blocking and general run game reps is the main aspect giving many pundits pause when considering him as a top-20 talent. There’s no doubt that he would be an immediate impact player for the Chargers were he to fall all the way to #28. I’d love the pick but chances are he is gone by then. But crazier things have happened, right? 2-years, 10.5 million

Just this morning there was a tweet from Adam Schefter that hinted Davis would be on his way out west, but the details of this proposed union were widely regarded as make-or-break for this move.Thanks to Tom Pelissero, we now have an idea of what the Chargers offered that brought Davis across the country:Deals like this are often considered prove-it deals (with benefits!), where the team offers enough to bring a player in

In all, the numbers seem to line up with what the Chargers are looking for: a veteran LB that is still performing at an above-average level.Most of the positives of Davis center around his 14 (soon to be 15) years of experience in the NFL. His 35 (soon to be 36) years on this Earth were the largest concern. That said, Davis was also punished for PED use last season, and he has three ACL tears to his name. There is certainly reason to be cautious, but at the same time there are upsides to the same player: he has Super Bowl experience, he has only missed a handful of games since 2013, and he was a very productive member of the Panthers last year (and many before that, as well).This move helps ease the pressure on getting one super-splash player to fill the holes in their roster. They now have a veteran that could and should play a lot of snaps

I think that everyone in the room assumes that the Raiders are far from done with their surprises, and the Broncos seem to surprise everyone when we least expect it.-Jason “5.25 Million Photoshop Job” Michaels
