Quote:It's realistically possible the Chargers could take CB Trae Waynes ,  NT Danny Shelton,  or  OLB ( 3-4 ) Shane Ray if available with pick # 16.   With the plan of addressing the RB position in Round 2 or 3.    The Chargers can use help at all of these positions and might conclude there's more depth at RB in the draft than at these other positions.

 

Yeah, the exceptionally deep RB class may hurt the top backs. I think Gurley is on a tier all his own, but there isn't much of a difference between #2 and #6-7 in this class. Why not grab one in the second or even third and focus on positions that hold more value and/or have a significant drop off from it's top tier players. Good backs like David Johnson, Duke Johnson, or Ameer Abdullah may be sitting there at the top of the third.
