And With The 5th Pick Of The NFL Draft Chargers Select....Discussion

[wu-dai clan]

I'm under the impression that Slater is considerably more athletic than Alt, and therefore better suited to LT.

Ahhh.
React.

A super left side would be able to create lots of room for the running game. Slater is a powerful run blocker.

Alt is top five in overall talent in the 2024 draft. Whether as a bookend or next door. Alt @ #5 with Slater would set us for quality OL play for years. Visualize that. Now what was everybody saying ? Criminy, there will be a very good WR available @ #37.

Vs the Raiders for example, Alt would hold up vs either Maxx Crosby or Malcom Koonce, whoever is lined up on the right side, let's say. Alt has long arms and power to deal with Maxx's elite game. But also, Alt has recovery technique and that same arm length to deal with elite speed from Koonce, in spite of B grade in mobility.

We are going to be looking at Alt or Nabors or Bowers or trade down in round one. That's it.

Concur. I could also see Byron Murphy being a target after a trade down.

Shore up the line for Herbert, cool... Let me tell you how that will go.

Herbert has all day to throw!? No he doesn't... No oline is impenetrable. He still gets hurried or sacked because he has to take longer to find someone that can get open. Why? KA is double teamed, MW is injured, and we refused to draft him a quality TE in the first round.

We all have seen video where Herbert locks in on a double teamed Keenan with others wide open.

With a little more time (as opposed to "all day") to throw, Herbert can accimplish a lot more.

IMV insisting on Bowers is more of a style preference. Nabers is awfully good too.

I go with Everett, Parham, Smartt, and draft one of the remaining WRs at #37.

Did you hear that Mark Andrews will be back for Lamar vs KC, AF ?


Just what I needed, more talking points for the Brock Boyz.

I can't agree on the TEs, Bowers or not. There is no way the Chargers can trot out he same lack luster group of TEs again. No one there can block for one thing, a non starter with Harbaugh

Everett (likely gone), Parham, and Smartt are sub par... Yea, Lamar is going to have one of his most reliable weapons back. We need to give Herbert one and draft oline in the 2nd or 3rd.

What if Slater don't like being moved to OG when it's getting close to resigning him? He may say adios not getting that LT money.
Slater allegedly played in two sprained ankles but not sure how true.

Harbaugh will get this OL going.
Your last sentence is likely true. I'm just going with Bowers

Slater is a stud and great left tackle, despite an injury plagued off year buy his standards. You don't move him anywhere. Can Alt step in an be an ALL PRO tackle his first year? No guarantee he is near as good as Slater in the pros.

...Our you could trade pick 5 to move down to maybe pick 18 and pick up a 2nd and 3rd which could allow us to draft a natural RT in Fuaga and maybe a combo of players like DT Sweat ( a huge moster for the middle) OC Johnson Powers and RB B. Allen! All these players seem like Harbaugh type players and could fill a lot of needs?

[blueman]

Salyer is our RT. Not sure why anyone is considering another solution, it’s like wanting Allen to be TE cuz we’re thin there.

C and G are the concerns. Address those spots instead of creating more question marks (and will McFadden be in the mix at guard?).

Also Pipkins can take a salary reduction and stay on as swing tackle, or be cut as there are much cheaper options for that, especially factoring in the “all tackles get beat at times” apologia I keep seeing for him lol.

Draft some beef!

Yes those are good thoughts, we have many needs.

Johnson Powers would be a good get, big center over 300 lbs. Allen looks good too.

I am not convinced that Alt or Fashanu are really a Top 5 talent. There’s a long trail of OTs drafted way to high just because of positional value - just ask the Raiders. I think this is the year to focus on interior with less costly picks but hey - what do I konw. Trust In Jim, he will.

If Harbo takes Alt, I’ll know I’m wrong. Fashanu’s rep is that he is weak in run blocking - thats not Harbaugh’s guy imo if true. Again, … trust …

I could easily see a C and OG in Rds 3-5, Salyer compete with Pip at RT. He can be rid of Pip after this year if he doesn’t perform
