2021 Roster Build

[wu-dai clan]

Did Vrabel commit to the draft? I know Lucas is returning to ASU. What’s your updated Chargers mock?

I will update pretty soon -- no hurry.

This is about a possible draft strategy, as much as my personal slotting of talent.

YMMV.

I reiterate, in an effort to get Trenchers out of tunnel vision mode,
there will be groups of tiered Olinemen available @ #13, #45, #77, ~ #97, #116.

Interesting choices, Wood.

We've already discussed Ojulari. With the change in HC, do you think we may be changing to a 3-4? Do we have the personnel? Do you see Ojulari as a 3-4 OLB?

Tufele comes out of Todd Orland's 3-4 system. Although I believe that Tufele also played in a 4-3 base before Orlando got there. I'm surprised to see a DT this high. Are we giving up on Jerry Tillery so quickly...? Are we moving DL pieces around in a 3-4...?

Hunter Long would be a good weapon for JH in case we're moving on from HH. Doesn't offer the inline skills of HH.

Christensen and Empy, huh? Must really like BYU tape. I question whether these guys have gone against quality opponents (especially in 2020). Are these starters or depth? Are you re-signing Tevi, Lamp, and Feeney? Give me your OL plan. I'm concerned.

Lucas and Vrabel are returning.

I like Teague and Stevens (if they are there that late).

Bolt Dude/Boltnut, I will follow up within a couple of days.

We all will scramble for new takes with Staley's propensity for some Man Coverage and Eagle/Hybrid fronts.

Off the top of my head, I would sub Ambry Thomas for Chase Lucas, David Moore for Tyler Vrabel.

Ojulari should still be fine, but don't you two savvy drafters strongly suspect that Leonard Floyd is coming to town, err heading down the hallway ?

LOL.
I am itching for the offense to become apparent.
Who's our Oline coach ?

Rams Wire is up on a few of your questions: #1 Yes. The Chargers are switching to a 3-4.

Undrafted Rams CB Darious Williams earns job opposite Ramsey

If Coach Staley, in time, says he can solve our corner problem w/ Darious Williams, that gives flexibility to target other positions in dire need. (EDGE, OT, C)

Floyd traveling cross town crossed my mind. Wouldn't he be more expensive than bringing CB Troy Hill in...? If we're going 3-4, I'm certainly more open-minded to your Ojulari choice. Are you open-minded to OLB Zaven Collins instead? 3-4 OLB slots pretty well @#13.

Agreed.
Zaven is a good prospect.
Round 1 ~#20.

Troy Hill ? will delve into that.
Now, I've got to ponder 4i .
Still detaching from gusD model.

Yep. I was looking for a coverage LB for the 4-3 (Chazz Surratt). Now, I'm considering bringing Perryman back and finding depth behind him later in the draft (Garrett Wallow?).

Good football ideas.
I am gonna follow up later with brief comments on the rest of my mock.
I was so proud yesterday.
Now it's obsolete.

BTW Nutty. I remember some of your LBs. Fred Warner. Matt Milano. Props on Linsley then and now. Rookie Centers (other than Ragnow/McCoy have been a mixed bag.)

Time to evolve. I think Campen is still here. The D is in need of some changes IMV !

Edit: No Campen--no Linsley. Bulaga...retire please.
