And to address point #2, Law was what, 32/33 and comming off an injury when we got him, how long did we expect him to hold up? Having two old CB’s and little in terms of future prospects, I think it would have been wise to invest a few CB picks in 2006 and 2007. I like Hali but when they read his name I do remember being pissed off as I was hoping for a Corner or WR.

I’m just saying those were the guys i wanted at #20 as I was watching the draft. Cromartie, Hill, Williams, and Jennings were all likely 1st rounders at CB in 2006. Williams fell, Jennings almost slipped out of rd 1, and Joseph snuck in. But it’s not like the Chargers took a stab in the dark with Cromartie.

bigchief13 – Cromartie might have been nice, but at the time, there was no way to know that 1) he would become such a stud and 2) that Ty Law would fall apart as quickly as he did.

I like Hali, but would I draft hin at 20 now? Maybe. Some of the sucess he has had is a direct result of playing opposite the shit desturber known as Jared Allen. I really wanted us to take Jonathan Joseph, Antonio Cromartie, or Chad Jackson. Good thing we didn’t take Jackson.
