2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

[Topcat]

Slater was never picked to be a G. Not sure what you mean by that.

5th rd picks are low probability - don’t just pick the rare puka - most 5th rounders across all teams do not become premier players.

We need real running backs. Dont’ fuck around waiting for a lucky 5th rd flier, pick a legit RB by R3.

Hence the argument to trade down for an extra 2nd and/or 3rd rounder...

Any chance EKELER could come back at a fair price…I’m not sure how much money they have if we can keep Allen and Mack

First round pick Zion still not very good with 2 full seasons under his belt.

Agreed.
1.Lack of talent
or
2. new position each year/ loss of quality C, change at offensive coordinator, poor OL coach?
I suspect 2. Want new staff to evaluate / train him.

I'm done with malcontent flop 2023 EK but new GM / HC etc may see otherwise.

Z.Johnson is a solid young player.
He is part of the solution.
Keep drafting OL Rd1.

Zion at center ?

I think Ekkie's done with us...he's suffering from Moaning Mellitus...thinks he can rake in more $$$ than he really can...

As much as I have loved what Ekeler did for us, I'm ready to move on. I'd guess he'll sign a one year deal with a playoff team to try and put up some big numbers and hope for a contract after that. I just don't see anyone paying him even what he made this year based on his production this year.

Goff has all day to complete that pass while Aaron Donald cannot do anything

They doubled and at times triple teamed him the whole game.

[Leslie Grossman]

Speaking of Donalds dominance, holy cow watch Sewell's tape and the whole O Line for a clinic.
Not the same run D without Ashaun Robinson

I agree, needs some good coaching. He looks the part.

Ekler looked a bit washed this year, could be lingering ankle of could be losing some burst.

It wouldnt suprise me if he has some trouble finding a roster next year and it wont be for big money. He might be brought in as a 3rd down back but not a starter.
