You would get 2025 #38, 4th round, and 2nd round 2026 pick. Lots of things you could do with that. Going from 38 to 22 is a huge jump for them gotta make it good for us as well. Lots of draft ammo to move around in the first three rounds if need be. We could have #38, #55, and if we decide to move up again to the 2nd round we could do that as well.

Are we in a movie ?

Apparently, the Chargers met with Isaiah Bond. Not sure if it's been posted and I missed it. If so, disregard.

Surprising. He’s got some serious off the field stuff.

Maybe, just maybe, this new group isn't worried about boy scout images? Or lack thereof?
Just win baby!

Edit: okay, other than being a non blocker, I couldn't find anything negative about the kid.
What's the off field issue with Bond, Isaiah Bond?

[wu-dai clan]

Comp for Bond is Zay Flowers.

Although not an X, he can beat press coverage with quickness.

He runs crisp, sharp angled routes and does not drop passes.

The one off field aspect I could find was that he can be a diva.

The Chargers meeting with him was because Isaiah will be a value pick, aa he will be deafted well below his talent level, and we need to determine whether or not character concerns are to be cast aside.

Yeah he is a good athlete for a big guy but I'd bet he runs a 4.75-4.85. he isn't fast and that isn't a knock.

Tony Gonzales ran a 4.8 and is the all time TE receptions leader. Gates wasn't fast but moved well, good agility for a 260 lb guy and is the TD leader for TEs.

Dont forget that defenders were slower then ... Safeties ran 4.6+, LBs at 4.8 were the norm.

So it should work against Warren that he isnt that fast? Not sure what you are saying there. 2013 was Gonzales last season and he had 83 receptions, 8 TDs. 18th most receptions in the league at 37 years old. Probably closer to a 4.9 lol.

I don't believe Warren is a 4.8. I watched several PSU games last season.

I don't believe Gonzalez ran a 4.8 in his prime either. I've seen 40 values posted for him all over the map from 4.5 to 4.8. if you watched him play, you know he didn't run slow.

I dont know if Waren is or not. Ive seen several of his game as well and he looks to play fast, so it may be misleading lol. Read one scout thinking he looks to be a 4.7-4.8. Some didnt think Restrepo was a 4.8 either. IDK. Pretty sure he wont be there for us and why i mention Loveland and Taylor most often. But i dont think Warren goes top 10 either.

Its hard to find but ive seen two things on Gonzales, and have a link for one here. And i dont give a shit about RAS scores but i found his linked below as well.

INDY had no TE last year with over 200 yds receiving on the season. They had a grand total of 467 yds at TE last year.
So, you better hope Warren gets to INDY cause if he’s gone they are taking Loveland. It’s a massive, glaring hole on their roster and they have Richardson and Jones fighting for that starting job. They are going to get a security blanket for whoever starts.

I have said for a while Warren is going top 10 to Jets or Saints and Loveland is gone at 14. I am sticking to it

sadly, you might be right...... Jeremiah has them as 5th and 6th best players in the draft..... odds of getting either at 22 is worse than the odds of us getting DJ years ago..... he was top 5 takent who dropped to around 18?...was it injury concerns and fact he was a safety?

Serious?

There’s limited concrete, publicly verified information about specific off-field issues tied to Isaiah Bond as of March 31, 2025. However, recent sentiment on X and some draft commentary hint at concerns that have surfaced in NFL circles.

Posts on X and remarks from analysts like Steve Palazzolo of The 33rd Team suggest that Bond’s off-field behavior has raised red flags for some teams ahead of the draft. Palazzolo reportedly compared Bond’s situation to Jermaine Burton, another wide receiver whose draft stock in 2024 was impacted by character concerns, including an incident where Burton struck a fan after a game. The exact nature of Bond’s issues isn’t detailed in public sources—no arrests, legal troubles, or specific incidents are documented in mainstream outlets like ESPN, FOX Sports, or NFL.com as of now. X posts speculate that his demeanor or effort may have shifted after an ankle injury mid-season in 2024 against Oklahoma, with some suggesting he "checked out" late in the year, per unnamed Texas staffers cited in draft chatter. This aligns with his statistical drop-off: 72.8 yards per game in his first five games versus 25.1 in his last seven, though injury could explain that rather than off-field problems.

Without official reports, it’s unclear if these concerns stem from verifiable events (e.g., team discipline, interpersonal conflicts) or are more perception-based (e.g., work ethic, attitude post-injury). NFL teams often dig into private matters during draft evaluations—interviews, background checks, or locker room reputation—that don’t always leak publicly. For now, the narrative around Bond’s off-field issues remains murky, fueled by speculation on X and vague analyst hints rather than hard evidence. If you’re looking for something specific tied to a reported event, there’s nothing solid to point to yet.
