Another NFL draft has come and gone. I’d say I paid more attention to this year’s draft than I have in several years. I think it was more about the Fresno State ties, waiting to see where Derek Carr and Davante Adams ended up. I can’t recall “top-of-the-draft” prospects out of Fresno State since Ryan Mathews, and the draft in general is such a crapshoot that I can’t get too excited about it.

Nonetheless, here are a couple random thoughts regarding Fresno State and my San Diego Chargers from this year’s draft:

As a Chargers fan I can’t think of a worse place for Derek Carr to go. I always like to root for former Fresno State players, but it’s going to be really hard to root for a Raider.

Same thing with Isaiah Burse being on the Broncos.

I may not know much about a lot of college players, but it was nice to see the Chargers draft positions they needed to fill.

I know I’m obviously biased, but I felt like Isaiah Burse and Marcel Jensen were worth a 7th round pick.

I imagine lots of college football fans think this about players at their school.

The Chargers didn’t get anyone too flashy, but that might be a good thing

I can’t help but wonder at what point the NFL will cross that line and get too much over saturation. More games on more nights, and now the draft spread out over two evenings and a third day. I just feel like eventually people are going to stop caring. It may not be soon, but it will happen.

Only 4 months until the season starts!
