     With the 48th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft http://www.chargerscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-austin-ekeler-jersey ;, the Los Angeles Chargers select USC’s Uchenna Nwosu. There was a lot of talent on the board at positions of need, but the Chargers have chosen to go with Nwosu who will likely slot in as the SAM and take over for Kyle Emanuel. He is a decent edge player, but this is an incredibly unexciting selection.Nwosu had a very good 40-time for a linebacker and a decent broad jump, but his vertical was mediocre and he also lacks ideal size. This feels like a low floor, low ceiling draft pick, which is really odd in the middle of the second round.In theory, Nwosu is versatile but versatility is less valuable when you are not particularly good at anything. He cannot set the edge and his pass rushing ability is limited.What do you think? Do you like the pick or were you hoping for someone else?Los Angeles Chargers daily links: Will Forrest Lamp have a breakout season? Los Angeles Chargers preseason debut: 3 positive takeaways - Adam KerckhaertIt seemed all eyes were on Mike Williams, the former first-round pick who is entering his second season in the NFL after struggling with injuries for most of last year. Williams seemed healthy and back to his normal self after catching two passes for 18 total yards. Williams showed no fear with a great display of his overall size and strength by catching passes in traffic and absorbing contact effectively.Los Angeles Chargers: 5 Breakout Candidates - Lee WakefieldLamp is a player who I’m super excited to see on the field, once the regular season finally gets here. If we quickly rewind to draft season in 2017, I had the former Hilltopper as a first round talent Joe Barksdale Jersey , so I was ecstatic when the Chargers managed to snag him in round 2. With this in mind, you can imagine how bad I felt when the Chargers injury curse hit and ruled Lamp out for the year.Who Will Be A Fantasy Sleeper For The Chargers In 2018? - Travis BakerIt’s safe to say; Mike Williams had a less than satisfactory rookie season. Battling with some back injuries, Williams struggled to stay on the field, and even when active was scarcely utilized. However, the last time Williams was healthy, he finished his senior season at Clemson with 98 receptions, 1,361 yards, and 11 touchdowns. Spectacular numbers, it’s no secret Williams has all the tools to put up significant numbers. Also very useful in the red zone Cheap Dan Feeney Jersey , Williams can be expected to rack up touchdowns on an efficient basis.Actual Opportunity -- Fantasy wide receivers making the most of their chances - Scott BarrettOver the course of the full season, Allen averaged 16.2 expected fantasy points per game, which ranked seventh-best, but was actually less than in his last full season of work (17.3). Allen’s volume wasn’t tremendous to start the year, but he led all positions in both expected and actual fantasy points over the final seven weeks of the season. It’s possible that sort of volume continues after the team lost tight end Hunter Henry (62 targets last season) for the year and Los Angeles went 5-0 in the five games Allen totaled more than 11 targets.Preseason Week 1 takeaways – first-round rookie performance - Mark ChichesterThe versatile defensive back showed flashes on his 28 defensive snaps against the Cardinals. The majority of his game action came in coverage, where he allowed three receptions for 24 yards but also logged two tackles and a defensive stop. He ended the game with a defensive grade of 68.2, which ranked 12th among rookie safeties with at least 10 snaps.Social Media Information:BFTB Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBFTB Twitter: Follow @BFTB_ChargersThe Lightning Round Twitter: Follow @Lightning_RoundThe Lightning Round Facebook: Click here to like our pageBFTB Manager: Richard Wade: Follow @RichardWade
