The Los Angeles Chargers select Marlon Tuipulotu, DT, USC.
With the Chiefs beefing up their interior line and run blocking in a clear counter-move to teams that have defended them with a light box, we need to counter-counter-punch. Adding a disruptive DT allows us to play Jerry Tillery outside and go more run-heavy up front (While still playing a dime or big nickel package behind it). [Reply]

Damnit!!!! Sermon was plan A for one of my teams in round 4: I felt comfortable letting him drop since I thought I was "protected" by some of the other RBs left on the board.
(Great Pick)
(Though I don't buy that any team has him rated ahead of Harris or Etienne) [Reply]

Hmmm, hard to say. Typically NFL teams have some differences. I just would expect some teams won't like Etienne.
I have Sermon 2nd round and Etienne 4th round because I don't view Etienne as a 3 down back.
He doesn't run great routes, poor vision, and mediocre hands. He might do damage in the right scheme but you need to call specialty plays to get him into space. [Reply]
Fair enough, I'd personally be surprised if Harris or Etienne fall lower than ~40, but I'm far from an expert evaluator. RBs can be so scheme / skill specific that they aren't a one player fits all solution. Completely in agreement that Sermon is very under rated. [Reply]
The New England Patriots select Seth Wiliams, WR, Auburn
Get a big bodied receiver that if he can show more consistency can become a #1 WR at the NFL level. Williams doesn't take no for an answer when he is looking for the ball. [Reply]

This was my guy that I would have grabbed for the Chiefs at the bottom of the third round. [Reply]
