Los Angeles Chargers


20. No don’t think he falls out of top 10. Best case scenario giving Herbert an elite, best in NFL OL

Charles Cross
OT Mississippi State

51. Late 1st early 2nd, game translates well next level. Virtual mirror of first two Charger picks 2021 aggressive, competitive, tough outside CB

Trent McDuffie
CB Washington

86. Late riser, with elite pass rushing traits. Where he falls depends upon testing to verify tape. Hybrid OLB

Arnold Ebiketie
EDGE Penn State

123. All around great back to complement Charger backfield. Bigger frame, great vision, catches ball out of backfield and can get you tough yards

Tyler Alleger
RB BYU

162. Bigger DB could play either Safety position as well CB. Chargers desperately need some depth here

Josh Jobe
CB Alabama

198. After Georgia defense, specifically Nakobe Dean, Washington defense is quick, Edefuan would add speed, cover ability with stellar tackling technique

Edefuan Ulofoshio
LB Washington

215. Jalen has NFL bloodlines and at 320 pounds and experience playing multiple positions adds depth to OL

Jalen McKenzie
OT USC

216. Sound, fundamental TE with great hands. Displays toughness and fearless in traffic

Greg Dulcich
TE UCLA

220. Interior DT with some burst and good durability. Adds to rotation and depth

Jaylon Hutchings
DT Texas Tech

242. Projected 7th rd. Similar size to Palmer. Solid hands, high points the ball and contest corner, good blocker nice depth piece

Emeka Emezie
WR North Carolina State

256. Showing my Texas bias, worried a bit about depth behind Quessenberry w/Linsley back issues. Plus size 6-5 310 with good movement skills and experience for position, 42 games.

Dawson Deaton
OC Texas Tech

In Free Agency top target-

DE Solomon Thomas, Raiders
DT Akiem Hicks, Chicago
CB Xavier Rhodes, Indianapolis
CB Kyle Fuller, Denver

was thinkin' the same thing just the other day, and have unofficially moved him over to safety on my depth chart, and will borrow from the B Dude by way of Kyler Gordon for now.

QB * Herbert, Chase
RB * Ek, Ronald Jones, D’Ernest Johnson, D’Vonte Price, Zonovan Knight * not sure here, as like the intangibles for D'Vonte Price but not sure he's going to make an impact on an NFL roster, and like Zonovan Knight for his return abilities, but unsure of his intangibles/mindset as it is called for in the Pro game ??
FB * Bradwell
WR * Keenan, Palmer, JuJu Schuster, Cedrick Wilson, Justin Shorter * can get the both of Schuster/Wilson for 'bout half the price of Adams, who is fairly certain to return to GB/stick w/Rodgers
TE * Parham, McKitty, OJ Howard, Cade Otton * Howard comes from suggested trade by way of sending Kenneth Murray out to Tampa
OT * Slater, Daniel Faalele * still would be surprised by the attendance of the either of Pips or Storm on the '022 Chargers roster
OG * Feiler, Zion Johnson, Oboushi, Brendan Jaimes
OC * Linsley * need to hedge our bets here.... tbd

NT * Danny Shelton, Robert Cooper * is the drop off too severe from Linval ?? do we have the monies and can we afford the possible marginal returns of resigning Joseph ??
DT * Justin Jones, Jerry Tillery, Sebastian Joseph Day, BJ Hill, Malik McDowell * would love to outbid Cleveland for not only D'Ernest Johnson, but for McDowell as we!!
DE * Bosa, Nwosu, Rumph, Jermaine Johnson, Dorance Armstrong
LB * Kyzir, Tranqill, Niemann, Ogbongbemiga * and while I like the logic of this coaching staff molding/finding an optimum position for Murray, am feelin' safer w/the proposed trade above
CB * Asante, Tevaughn, Levi Wallace, Kyler Gordon, Mike D.
S * Derwin, Nas, Webb, Keanu Neal, Josh Jobe

K * Younghoe Koo
P * Matt Araiza/Michael Turk
LS * Overton

This would be an insanely fortunate draft... the best possible outcome.

I like to use simulators results that are behind the curve generally than in front of it. That being said, I could see two or three OT’s go in top 10, Cross being pick of litter.

McDuffie impressed me every time I watched him play, you can tell he’s put the work in for his craft, setting real high standards. Is disruptive and has ball skills of former Huskie Marcus Peters with tackling technique of Desmond Trufant. Good NFL size to 5-11 195, speed 4.4ish not a burner but takes proper angles with plus feet.

I think if Breece Hall some how falls to their 3rd round pick, they cannot pass on him. I think he will go no later than the 2nd though. Such a versatile back with great size and speed. Charlie Kolar in the 5th would be a dream as well. Reminds me of Mark Andrews

Yeah, I don’t think Hall lasts till the 3rd either. I really like his game. His running style reminds me of a more athletic, more versatile Ron Dayne.

I like Zach Charbonnet a little better, but he won’t be around in the 3rd either. Charbonnet reminds me of Eric Dickerson with his angry upright running style.

After that, I like James Cook a lot, though some fans think he might not be durable at his weight. But if he’s half as good as his brother Dalvin, James Cook and Austin Ekeler would be a handful for opposing defenses.

A sleeper, late round RB that I really like is Max Borghi. That guy’s contact balance is elite—runs so low, kinda reminiscent of Ekeler himself.

Abram Smith from Baylor is a prospect no one’s talking about. Twitchy and explosive, he also has great size at 5’11, 225 and quietly ran for 6.2 YPC this year. He’s a Senior Bowl invite I’m keeping an eye on.

The Chargers need to score with a RB in this draft. I don’t see JJ or Kelley returning, so we’ll need a RB2 as I don’t think Roundtree is the answer.

Agree on all but as you know I'm not a small RB guy but the rest, including Borghi I agree.

I doubt Hall lasts to the 3rd as well. Maybe not Charbonet either but we'll see after the combine.

Borghi is only 205, but he’s compact as fuck and he runs like a mini tank.
