2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

[Boltjolt]

I care to know if he really runs mid 4.5’s

You will find out in a month...if he runs at the combine. Those who know they wont run a fast time sometimes dont run the 40.

[CanadianBoltFan]

Don’t know/don’t care. I want him, we need a CB1.

There are other good CBs in this draft besides Kool-AId. This is a good review. The reason Kool-Aid is the 4th ranked CB is because of the speed concern.

Tough decisions ahead, not enough picks (unless there’s hidden talent already on the team Harbaugh can unlock), and not enough quality starters (ditto). Tough gig Harbaugh signed onto, hope he’s all that and the bag of proverbial chips.

This is a better roster today than the 2010 6-10 Niners that Harbaugh went 13-3 and a playoff W with in 2011.
Let him and his people do what they do.
Win.
We can figure out how he did it later.

ps: Staley really screwed the Chargers up. He's gone.

All your draft pick needs solved. Trade Herbert for a boatload of picks, bring Kaep and JJ in and run the ball. You like that? We still all in on Jim?

Hahaha...

Weirdly, yes.

I have not been a fan of drafting Brock Bowers, preferring instead to trade down to acquire more value round picks. I believe a QB needy team will be willing to surrender a bounty of picks to trade up to #5, and it would be in the Chargers' interest to have more picks in rounds 2-4 in this draft.

but...

Look at who is still in the tournament.

Kelce
Kittle
La Porta
Mark Andrews - the Ravens got here without Andrews, but he's been cleared to play Sunday and he has been a top 3 TE in recent years

These may four of the five best TEs in the league at the moment. And they're all playing in the championship games, which says a lot about the important role an elite TE plays in going far in the playoffs.

So I won't be upset at all if the Chargers draft Bowers.

It’s a heat check on Harbaugh. How deep is your love

Exactly....

[wu-dai clan]

Yes, yes, I do.

There's a lot of good talent on this year's squad. But Isaiah has the highest ceiling I think.

Greenfield started at RT before moving to LT, so he's played both. And he was a monster.
All America the past two years. Great player. The OG next to him, Mason McCormick is also worthy of a look.

Just Say 'No'.

[DerwinBosa]

If he falls to the fourth round I think it may be a good idea to take him. We can't have the same backup quarterback situation going forward. Herbert is not Philip Rivers went it comes to durability. I doubt any other quarterback will be for us.

I am in the draft Bowers at 5 - if he is there or trade down

I think you can get close or comparable WRs if you trade down; plus other options like OT, Dallas Turner, Kool- Aid - - -all of this players in the 8-11 range in the first round

From what I understand, there is one Brock Bowers at TE and a big drop off
