Round by Round Clusters

TT wants extra "at bats,"
as he says.

Gonna be so disappointed
with your qualifiers.

With the predictable QB madness,
one of your big four
will surely be there at #13.

More “at bats” are only relevant if you don’t hit the meat ball, slow and right over the plate.

There’ll be hell to pay if TT passes on any of those players, especially the OTs.

BUT...if we traded down and still landed Darrisaw, AVT, or Little, I guess I could forgive him.

I would only accept a trade down under the following conditions:

Sewell, Slater, Farley and Surtain aren’t available AND we get MORE than the value chart indicates, including additional picks (3rd round minimum) this year.

If anything, a rare TT trade down is in order.

Understandable thinking but...

Draft is loaded at OT through round three and beyond...we now have breathing room at OL.

We have two round three picks...there are four QBs going top ten.

If anything, a rare TT trade down is in order.

trading down - yes
breathing room at OT - no
get the best damn OT if you can

(though I do agree if Telesco gets CB and maybe more depth at OT in free agency, that does give him a bit more flexibility in the draft to maybe go OT in R2 - do not think I want to go later than R2 for OT though).

Sewell-OT getting criticism is a bit silly to me. He was 18 and 19. A freaking teenager on all the film. He is 20 now. Obviously he will get better and continue to improve especially with NFL coaching. I bet Justin Herbert would love to have him as his left tackle in the NFL. I'm paying the price and trading up to Jets #2 for him to ensure I get him and the bet is I will have him for the next 15 seasons as the starting Left Tackle. Worth every pick and penny, imo.

Also I'm thinking those picks I'm trading away will not have 15 year careers many of them will have 6 year careers like Ryan Mathews or Donald Butler or less than 3 like Mager or Watt. Or will be off the Chargers roster in a few seasons like Teo or Attachou or Lamp or Feeney or Henry.

Absolutely Critty, If we think he is the next Munoz, Ogden, or Pace make the trade.

round one/13 * trade down preferred, as would prefer as many of the day two players as possible

026) LB Zaven Collins * just a gut take, that this guy might be the best get for us round one
014) LT Christian Darrisaw * like him better than the rest, albeit agree.... not my first choice for our locker room/team vibe
013) LB Micah Parsons * something I don't really care for 'bout this guy, and.... he might be the one you wish you had nabbed @13
021) DT Christian Barrimore * somethin' 'bout this guy that says difference maker.... somebody to help free up Joey
003) LT Penei Sewell * watched him w/Voch.... get pushed back.... his anchor is in question me thinx

round two/47 * would like all three of these guys, and willing to trade down, and down again to get 'em

045) CB Eric Stokes * the dude that I want.... love his intangibles
048) DT Daviyon Nixon * started out like a house on fire and has come back to the field.... not sure of his ceiling
071) LG Trey Smith * in my mind he's worth our 13, and then there is the consensus which has him here.... @best

round three/77 * got my blinders on for the one man in the middle

082) OC Josh Myers * even tho we got Linsley, we also got his injury concerns/bad back.... Hardwick 2.0 pls

comp pick/97 * not quite on PR's level, and.... do like this guy quite a bit

089) SS Hamsah Nasirildeen * 'nother guy that I'd really really like

round four/118 * we need an RB, we need a NT, we need Oline depth.... we need to learn how to stockpile draft pix

097) NT Tyler Shelvin * for the umpteenth year, me would likey some NT, and.... dude's gotta be off the board by now
101) RB Trey Sermon * really like this guy and hopefully he lasts past our comp pick and until our fourth
070) DT Jay Tufele * like him some, but obviously not as much as some others
094) RG Deonte Brown * not willing to take him off my board.... if he drops to here and others are off the board
093) RT Spencer Brown * gonna be overdrafted, as like him.... but not as optimistic on his development as others

round five/159 * not sure either of the latter two'll be on the board, and.... secondary depth is a must have

168) CB Ambry Thomas * plenty o' boards have this guy longone by now, and.... hope springs eternal
063) LB Dylan Moses * huge injury concern, that otherwise takes him off the board, and.... like his intangibles
112) RB Chuba Hubbard * backup plan to Sermon, albeit plenty reason to doubt he'd still be on the board here

round six/185 * we need to replace what we lost w/Desmond.... we need a gamer

240) SS Divine Deablo * Ninja has this guy gone yesterday, and.... could last a bit longer if Johnny's got some Irish to him

round six/198 * how 'bout goin' Pro here

322) TE Pro Wells * if he is as some say he is, not the guy that you want to have missed out on

round seven/241 * always loved me some Brandon Siler.... seventh rounders (make'm) count

374) RT Foster Sarell * puttin' this guy @the top here, mostly coz he's the one that'll be most likely still on the board
440) DT LaBryan Ray * didn't see this guy listed, but on my radar nonetheless
134) TE Tommy Tremble * gonna give the benefit of the doubt to the forum fervor on this guy, and.... double down on TE here
312) K Jose Borregales * am a Badgley bandcamper, so not alotta interest here, albeit he seems worthy

afterthoughts * cases could be made, but not havin' 'em this go 'round

027) WR Kadarius Toney * sleeper first round wunderkid, albeit he just isn't on my radar
050) OC Landon Dickerson * dude's a mule, and.... not takin' him given he's pretty much physical wreckage
080) SCB Shaun Wade * intangibles leave something to be desired, but his play @nickel is everything you'd want

UDFA * maybe usually means no, and.... that's why they have a preseason

285) WR Brandon Smith * been on my radar since the beginning of things.... hoping for a Malcom Floyd redux
422) OC Ryan McCollum * has not really established any traction this go 'round, but would take him as an UDFA
438) LB Zane Zandier * a no namer who caught my eye early on.... special teamer value perhaps

[La Costa Boy]

I'd like at least one of those tackles to stick at tackle...

AMEN!!! So many analysis on the OT prospects say something to the effect of "will need to move inside" "better if he played guard" "slide inside to minimize weaknesses".....you get the idea. if I draft an OT, I want them to play and excel at OT, not guard.

[Topcat]

Would not mind him at 13, just hoping to move down for an additional 2nd if Slater and the 2 potential franchise corners are gone. Either way I'm drafting 2 Tackles with my first 3 picks. One or both could end up starting at guard.
Of course after free agency the plan could change

[Leslie Grossman]

You wouldn’t be okay with taking AVT at 13? I think the Vikings will take him at 14 if we trade down.

Also, getting Stokes in the 3rd would be insane value. I think he’ll be long gone by 47. Oweh too.

Great players though. Nice work.
