RUSS LANDE When East Carolina DT Linval Joseph came out early for the draft, many teams were surprised and did not know a lot about him. But after breaking down film, scouts were impressed. And now that coaches have gotten a good look at him on film, Joseph has been moving up draft boards. He was originally expected to be a third-round pick who might slip to the fourth round, but now he is regarded as a surefire second-rounder who could move into the bottom of Round 1. From what we have heard, the Chargers could use their first-round pick (28th overall) or second-rounder (40th overall) to take Joseph and solidify their nose tackle position.
