I have been hesitant to agree with giving up draft picks after our draft picks have been thrown away, but if you can get the best defensive end in the league for a draft pick, I say do it.
I do think a N.O. (likely a top 5 pick, or at worst a top 10 pick) 1st rounder is a bit steep for a 33 year old, but a second rounder sounds just right. He has 25.5 sacks in the past two season, and already has 4 sacks in 6 games this year!

About Chambers, this is a perfect move for the Chargers. They are finally putting the pieces together and playing well, and they know they need WR help. Chambers has his issues, sure, but he caught 43 tds in his first 6 seasons, and it's not like he's had any decent QB's throwing to him. It has become obvious Jackson can't handle the #1 wr spot in SD, and now Rivers has a viable weapon outside of Gates and LT. This move will make them more dangerous come playoff time. (keep in mind, they are already tied for 1st in the AFC West).

For those that think we should have pulled this trigger...he's only 5'10"...we have plenty of undersized WR's, it's time for 6'2"+ possession receiver.
