Trade Greg Olsen for a 1st,  and 3rd.  Cya Greg.

Imagine wanting a TE who has averaged barely 500 yards/season in the 1st round.

At least Butler will get a chance to replace Star.

You should go back to watching  soccer

Henry hasn't exactly set the NFL ablaze, but we can't exactly pound our chests over Vernon Butler either.

What stings the most is that the Saints got an absolute stud of a WR in the 2nd round in Michael Thomas while we reached on a small school "hog mollie" in the late 1st.

Not a bust, just not worth the 1st rounder that most in here wanted. Though you could certainly make the same argument for Butler.

I have  read about Henry, and I know that he is thought to be of great value by the Chargers. He was/is the heir apparent to Antonio Gates. He is thought to be the total package. Not only is he a legit offensive weapon, but also an invaluable blocker. So, all this down talk about him is basically totally off base and out of line with everything I've read about him.

This thread is like the soldier who is stepping forward with his left foot, when every other soldier is stepping with his right.

If the Chargers offered that for Olsen,  you can bet your ass Hurney would do it.

Bro.. A 1st and a 3rd for a Tight End on the wrong side of thirty? You'd be a fool to not make that trade. I love Olsen man but that's something you don't pass up. Especially if you acquired Olsen for a third from the Bears. Not only do you get what you gave up but also a 1st rounder?  Yeah. No freaking way he wouldn't.

So the chargers burned the bridge with antonio gates to the ground, then henry tears his ACL just running routes. what i wouldnt give to be on this phone call.

Exactly. They've used him at both TE and FB. Not to mention Antonio Gates has been with the team at the same time too. And if you look closely, those numbers for a TE in 2  TE sets are solid. He should've been the pick over Butler.

Every single team would improve their drafts with the benefit of hindsight.

He won't get a chance. We signed Poe to start. More specifically, we signed Poe to fill Star's role. Butler will remain a rotational guy in his 3rd NFL season. Great 1st round pick...

I have to agree with you. Butler may have been the BPA at the time (and I still Hunter was a better choice, ACL tear and all), and we hadn't locked KK down long term yet, but Big Vern only played 30% of the snaps last season. Not exactly what you want from a first rounder. Hell Love got 38% of the snaps behind Star.As long as KK is healthy, Butler is a back up.

  Butler needs to be getting a lot of the 3rd and 6+ snaps instead of Poe. If he can’t produce in what would be close to 50% of the snaps, it’s time to move on. 

  And Hunter Henry would be a backup for us as well.

The Chargers have some of the worst injury luck in the NFL.

Their 16 and 17 2nd rounders have now torn their ACL's in back to back seasons both in preseason/OTA's...and both were projected to start.

 

Ouch.

so after two years of the huddle idealizing this guy like our success/failure hinged on passing him over for butler, he proves he’s human and can get hurt like anybody else
