Eric Parker Out 10 Weeks

There's been a handful of injuries so far in training camp, but until I learned about Eric Parker's toe surgery on Chargers.com, nothing seemed sure to affect draft day.

Maybe you could have worred a little bit about Frank Gore's broken hand, but he's already taking handoffs. I wasn't worried.

The Mustard: Eric Parker might have been a late round WR4 or WR5 prospect as the most experienced WR on his team. Now, not so much. Don't draft him.

Phillip Rivers
takes a small hit, but he didn't have that much upside anyway. Parker had exactly zero touchdowns last year but was the leading yardage gainer.

Vincent Jackson, who had 453 and 6 last year, will probably get a couple hundred more yards, along with rookie Craig Davis. Davis, however, is probably not worth gambling on at this point.
