    Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Kyle Trask and Mac Jones. We could easily see 6 first round QBs, even a slim chance 5 go top 15....gravy for the Bolts...better player or lucrative trade deal...

    Not sure I am all that crazy about Jones and Trask myself...but teams always seem to bite on SEC production...fine by me. Fields resurrection really helped...now we just need Trey Lance to nail the offseason workouts, and our phone will be ringing off the hook come draft day.
    Adopted Bolt: Kimani Vidal RB

    Final prediction: Latham OT, Colson LB, Sainristil CB,Rice WR, Zinter OG, Nourzad OC, MacLachlan TE, Vidal RB, Lovett DT

      Fields had an outstanding game, best in his college career, and will have a chance to show it again against a much better secondary. I don't think Lawrence will drop, he's been doing his thing for the last 3 seasons, but that game by Fields (only 6 incompletions and 6 TDs) will give both Jax and NYJ some work. If Sewell is indeed a generational OT, maybe he goes #1 as well.

      Maybe the Chargers can draft one of the stars out of the Bama/OSU matchup, but probably not.

        I just want the best damn OL (OT or OG or C) with the Chargers picks in Rounds 1 and 3

        Rounds 2 and the other 3, pick your Edge and CB

        Anything else to me is gravy

          Are you wanting to trade down, because you think all of the #1 OL, Edge & CB will be already gone? We certainly need help multiple areas so I understand acquiring more picks, but if the #1 at either of those positions are still available I stay put. Or Pitts.

            Or Lance and not sold on Wilson either coming from BYU. Jones seems to have some game but tough to tell with the wide open WRs he has to throw to.

            Trask did not look good without his top 4 weapons but he did suffer about 6 drops with Pitts replacement dropping three of them.
            Our phone wont ring off the hook if we beat KC and pick around 15. If we lose and move up to 10 or under then possibly we get some calls.

              I just hope we don't OVER pick, like we did with Fluker.
              DJ would have been fine as an interior OL selection in the 2nd or later
              If Parsons or Pitts are there when we pick, I imagine those 2 are graded out higher than any OL not named Sewell.
              Although we may not be able to get our stud LT, we should be able to stock the interior of our OL with good football players( Lamp and Feeney would make solid back ups anywhere along the line).
              If Pitts is the guy, you let HH go and use that money to go sign Trent Williams for 2 years to protect JH's backside.

                What a conundrum.

                Talent, solid prospect = Wyatt Davis/Rashawn Slater.

                Highest PON, albeit w/warts = Sam Cosmi/Christian Darrisaw.

                There is a strong gravitational force
                pulling me in your direction, UK.
                We do not play modern football.

                  This place will blow up if TT picks aTE instead of OL/DL in the first round.

                    You're going to have to make a decision on Henry before the draft & if Pitts is the pick, I'd like to see them played together. Makes for serious matchup problems & replaces letting Mike Williams walk. I had said on here earlier that we should give Trent Williams' agent a call, but like others said, you're going to have to overpay for him & he is 33. Maybe that's not the route to go.

                      FA'cy will tell us more what we could do. If we resign Henry, i dont see us drafting Pitts. Though as a WR id rather have him over DaVonte Smith. I just dont like his frail frame going into the NFL.

                        I wouldn't trade down. Just because you’re rated #1 at your position doesn't mean you’ll be the best pro. Just get one of the top rated guys (or more if you trade down) and develop, develop, develop.
                        Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

                          Would anyone trade Justin Herbert for Trevor Lawrence straight up?
