    The pendulum does seem to be swinging a bit back but it’s a different type of rushing attack to, more in sync with the rhythms of the passing game and featuring more and more RBs that can deliver in passing situations…

He is also pretty feisty and will block. I think it just comes down to money and the Chargers are probably looking for a one year bargain with him. He doesn’t need to take a deal like that now. He can wait as they will be available for months if he has to go that route. He would shine with Herbert and that may be a factor, though.

      Same goes for Dobbins. He will have choices of the best one year deal as time goes by. Chargers may not want to sign either guy until after the draft as it may drive the price down and does not count as a comp pick FA

      Spot on, I think the chargers might be wanting to wait until after the draft to make any more signings…I’m thinking they will still sign another 2-3 more free agents after the draft and I’m not referring to priority free agents out college, 2-3 more veterans…

        and then again, you could be prophetic. It does feel like more good WRs are being developed in college, beats me if thats a statistical noise fluke or a true trend that changes the supply & demand model. The league is notoriously cyclical - beats me exactly whats the next next.

          I think you guys are right - no significant signing until after the draft? Perhaps a vet-min deal here or there that is non-guaranteed and can be cut if situations change. Otherwise - I heard Joe talk about wanting to both see the draft and what players teams might cut after the draft.

            Id just sign Palmer now and then draft another WR.
            Joe will wait.
            One thing that must be mentioned is that a Boyd type (toughness, strong hands , route running and going over the middle) are a good fit for us.
            That is perferct slotting and Steve Smith approved.
            Ja'Lynn Polk @ #69 is locked in on my radar.

              Is anyone else at least mildly shocked by this, as I am? I hadn't heard any rumors of this, nor was it posted in these parts. What was the motivation? Salary? Discontentment? Diggs has a history of being a bit of a diva.

                No, Diggs been whining for a while now. The Texans sure look like they will be tough though.

                    I really like Polk, man.
                    He is a Harbaugh guy.
                    If Burton didn’t have all the off the field stuff I’d want him too.

                        My thoughts too.
                        Steve Smith woke me up about JaLynn.
                        And yes, exactly.
                        This is a Harbaugh guy.
                        There are lots of flavors of WR to consider.
                        Why type for our roster ?
                        That may be the big question
