They got what they needed for tomorrow…and for a couple of years from tomorrow
The 2014-NFL Draft was deep. The Chargers had needs, and they filled a couple, eventhough they had only six picks. At first glance, I give them a letter Grade of “B”.
In a deep draft at cornerback, with an acute need, the Bolts went and got a starter, Jason Verrett from TCU. A fireplug at 5-9, a hitter, an athlete with a 33-inch vertical jump, a fluid player with amazing speed. Is he small yes, but remember, Shareece Wright and Marcus Gilchrist on the other side bring size. Verrett might be the fastest corner the Bolts have drafted since Gil Byrd.
He plays, he likely starts immediately. Some think he is as athletic as Daryll Green-the Redskins icon.
