Beat me to it!

He went right where I think most people figured he would- mid second round. Good for him. Now go out there and kick some arse, Kendall!

Very good pick for the Chargers as they improved their defense with this pick and the Melvin Ingram pick yesterday.

Congrats to Kendall Reyes

Awesome... I had a feeling New England thought they could get him with their second 2nd rd pick... Glad he's a Charger though... 2 years in a row a Husky gets drafted by SD... Nice fit for him too... All the best Kendall

 

[cryjeremiah]

liking this for him. I thought the Chargers or the Packers were the best landing spots for him. I wanted to see him as a DE in a 3-4. Also, Kiper totally missed the boat on him. Mel was oblivious to the fact that a lot of the time Kendall's job was to hold 2 OL to free up the LBs. Am I right about that?

Nah. Timing was fortunate.

Every one can step away from the keyboard for a while now.

As much as I'd really like to hear more Uconn names tonight, it's going to be tomorrow or the transaction wire (for UDFA's) before we have any more Uconn news.

Kiper makes me laugh. Mel, if you haven't watched him play, don't make yourself look stupid. He said Reyes lacked consistency? What?

 

[BugsyCT]

Congrats Kendall!

 

[MilliniumPrince]

I would rather see him in a 4-3 but tight now who cares? Congratulations to him and his family.

Kendall is a great athlete. I think he has a real shot to be a player in the NFL. Congrats to him and the Reyes family.

Nice congrats!

Would love to see Teggart get drafted too!

 

[Uconnalliance]

Good for him he will be local in December they play the Jets on the 23 rd

As a Chargers fan I love it. I have the Sunday Ticket so it will be a pleasure to watch Kendall every week. Can't wait for September!

Would love to see Teggart get drafted too!

He'll love the weather for sure. I did.

I've got a solid record of proclaiming San Dog as one of the best places to live in America. Ranks right up there with the Florida keys, Outer Banks of Carolina, the Gulf Coast and Reno/Tahoe in my book.

I was talking with the wife about a possible job in the Point Loma area of San Diego earlier this week. She wasn't impressed, but she's never been there. Tri tip steaks, carne asada for food, Coronado and Mission Beach areas and everything else.

I love that area.

Mike Nolan is the new defensive coordinator and the team is going to a 4-3 defense. That is why they grabbed both Ingram and Reyes. One inside and the other outside .

I think you are confused, Mike Nolan is not the Charger's Defensive Coordinator, John Pagano is. And they will continue to run a 3-4.

Utah State had their first second round pick since 1980. Puts in perspective how far UConn has come.

that's what I get for listening to Kiper

Now... will the Chargers forget about him... and have the Vikings sign him halfway through the season?

Translation of Mel Speak: 'I hate UConn football program, so I'll say whatever I can say bad about the best D1A football team in New England. If the D1A player is NOT from BCU, I'll hate him...'

Congratulations Kendall. Here he is with family and friends.
