2022 Official Bolts Draft Superthread

[sonorajim]

A top WR would be scoring TDs to win games when it counts. Ours ain’t there yet, somewhere in the middle..

???? Huh? A team with a top WR never loses a game that counts?

[Leslie Grossman]

To those who don't think the Chargers have good WRs - think again, it's one of the deepest, if not the deepest, corps of WRs in the league. Staley obviously believes so to - not a single player drafted is a WR and there's only one WR among the undrafted signees.

On top of that this draft proves they will run the ball more as well.
More time of poss also keeps the defense off the field.
If Spiller, Everett, Palmer, and Parham are who we think they are, there aren't enough footballs to go around.
Horvath and Leddie Brown/JJ could tote the rock as well behind a potentially great run blocking O Line.

When healthy it's a good group but Im not sure I'd call it tops in the league. Top 5 maybe? Idk...most expensive perhaps.

yep, we are not the majority. they know they have us locked in, no matter what crap they add.

always about advertising dollars and cents, never sense
of course it is about sucking in more viewers, football fans will watch regardless

Punt God not happy he was the third punter off the board. https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-draft-m...233514055.html

Lol Don’t let events distract from the show. Their job isn’t to chronicle history, their job is to attract and hold eyeballs. I have no idea if they are on the mark there, we are obviously not the majority because they are way off what we want them to broadcast.

Better an elite OG like Zion, than a Flukeresque reach at OT...

Yup

And they also bring in comedians and hip hop singers to liven things up, because apparently discussing football in the middle of the draft isn't interesting enough...

good point, haha. i don't have NFL network due to AT&T, but i wonder if they keep it straight football talk on their coverage. of course ESPN is going to turn it into a carnival - anything with mike greenberg turns into a carnival/gossip show. i am tired of that guy. he was great in the early days of mike & mike.

Balanced draft, considering pre-draft moves definitely more focus on Defense - exactly where it was needed. I like the moves the team made, its hard for me to judge the relative movement upward vs other teams as nobody is just standing still. I don’t put a lot of stock in the instant grades published right after the draft - they tend to be no more precise than the pre-draft rankings and are simply one last post-draft echo of the chattering class of pseudo-experts.

The TV pundits don’t actually do personal in depth scouting investigations on all of those players. They regurgitate what they read and hear.

Agreed. Are you worried about the idea of Bosa and Mack on that SoFi turf, with our depth chart ? I sure am. I know you would have liked an ORT, but Zion will smash ya.
