Has ANYBODY heard that AJ is interested in acquiring David Givens? In the Patriots forum they are talking about a report that will send givens here for our 28th pick.

Does san diego need another receiver?

OK I've decided what I want the Chargers to do..keep both picks, use 12 on Spears, 28 on Poole, sign either Mason, Givens, or some other top receiver. Use the rest of the draft to add depth to our O-line. If anyone has objections to this let me know. Please provide good, logical reasons why or why not.

Dont get me wrong, there is no way in hell I want us to give up our 28th pick for any receiver, when we can get Mason. I just want to know if anyone has heard this rumor. If you go to the patriots forum they have a post discussing the trade.

superchargers - Spears and Poole are both good players, but I think there are better options. I agree with signing a WR through FA preferably Burress, but I doubt he will leave Pitt. My next option would be Mason, and my next and final option would be Coles. For some reason I have a feeling we are going to have a problem trying to get one of these guys though. If we don't get one of these guys I think our 2nd first round pick should be used for a WR if Williams or Edwards don't drop to us at 12, which I doubt they will. At 28 either Clayton, Williamson, or White should be available. If we sign a WR in FA then I think our first pick should be used on the BPA. Somebody that should have been a top 10 pick is going to end up dropping out of the top 10 and we have to take him, excluding qb and rb. Whether it is Rolle, Johnson, or Williams or Edwards, that should be our pick. With our second first round pick we should grab a DL. One of the Cody's would be great, Justin Tuck is also an option. Finally with our second round pick we should go for a linebacker, like either Morrisson or Blaystock (not sure about spelling). That would be my ideal offseason and it is what the bolts should try to do.

oh I forgot to say something. We also could get a safety with our second round pick. There are no premire safeties in this year's draft, but there are a bunch of good safeties. Someone will be available with our second round pick.

OK, if edwards, williams, or DJ fall to us at 12 we should grab 'em. but the chances of that happening are very slim. I do believe that rolle will be there at 12 especially when adam jones runs a 4.3 at the combines.

If we decide to go rolle over spears i would be happy only if we decided to move jammer to FS. with the raiders now having porter and moss..and some other talented receivers..the chargers have to focus on NOT GETTING BEAT DEEP. this was a major problem for us last year and we can only address it by getting a good FS and a solid pass rush. we have a solid group of linebackers and shaun phillips will have a break out year in 05. what we need is a solid 3-4 de that will consume blockers so our olbs can get to the qb.

I'm sticking will spears and poole.
