I really don't understand the choice of Northern Illinois' Larry English with the first round pick. Some have him listed as a pass rushing DE, which is good, but he's pretty small for a 3-4 DE at 254 pounds, so he's going to just be a situational guy. You don't take situational guys with your top pick.
ESPN had him figured as an OLB, which makes more sense on his weight. If true, that tells you much about how the Chargers view the potential recovery of Shawne Merriman and their view of Shaun Phillips 2008 performance.
On the other hand, I'm not so sold on anyone drafted behind English that I'll jump off a ledge. I hope the offensive line gets addressed on Sunday.
