Wanted a bad ass mover not a mirror
Both players have pro-bowl written all over
If Cross is there at 17, it's a no brainer.
BUT......should we trade back and both Green and Zion are available, who's the guy?
I'd still prefer McDuffie, Lloyd, or Dean( or even Dax Hill) but I'd be okay with one of the G's as well.

I only mentioned The Band,
in thinking about Nutty's band and their musical style. They got some crazy swamp-bluegrass thing going.
And did not want Nutty to think he is underrated, as he puts in work on the draft.
I like, for example Nico McBrain to Gavin Harrison.
Maybe he visited the band's website and researched our influences... or maybe he has a musicians ear... but he nailed The Band.
Swampy-Bluegrass is a thing.
The Swampers are both under-rated and foundational.
Growing up in Julian, Nutty listened to a lot of folk and bluegrass...
Working on The Dixie Chicks "Sin Wagon" for another project this afternoon... then off to practice with the band later this evening.

From what i've seen, I'd prefer Zion Johnson - i think he's the safer choice because he's smarter.
Green is position flexible in college which also says something about his smarts;
however, when i watched him at LG, he failed to recognize stunts a few times
- maybe it has to do with being moved around every few weeks to a new position
Here is someone who likes him at draft.buzz commenting on his still developing skills in pass pro:- A brilliant run blocker but has a limited skill set as a pass blocker and is relatively underdeveloped in this area
- Has an issue with balance will over lean into an oncoming rusher
- Didn't dominate statistically at college - allowed a total of 48 pressures in three years, which is good - but not great
- Attacks when necessary, though he won't consistently dominate and can lose balance overextending.
- Does not have the ideal arm length to be a top-level left tackle - best suited inside
- Needs to work on his technique in pass protection, using more consistent leverage and continuing to move his feet.
- Stops his feet after initial contact, relying on length but allowing the defender to get the corner or spin inside.
- Underwhelmed in athletic testing at the Combine - with 5.24 40, only 20 reps on the bench and a 102 broad jump
Maybe that is unfair.

T. Will, as the 3rd receiver opposite Allen/Williams, really opened up the offense with those short crossers and deep posts....something that will be taken to a hole new level by J. Will.
I want the Chargers to pick Jameson Williams, then momentarily confuse the commissioner, stepping up to the podium again and selecting Zion Johnson.
Is there something in the rules that will permit this? :dunno:
