Somebody take him before #17, please!

That's Ebiketie.
Brugler says Him or Logan Hall in round 2 is exceptional pass rush value.

That there is a delayed pancake...took a while to flip it, but got 'er done...

JJ would look good in Bolts

[Leslie Grossman]

Impressive by Ebiketie, and after the combine he is in my cluster at 48.
Look at the strength of Penning to pull him to the ground with one arm at the end.
Even Faalele at 380 pounds was put on his ass by Luketa at the Senior Bowl, it happens to the best of them.

That's Ebiketie.

EbIketie looks like a 1st rounder to me.

NFL DRAFT DEFENSIVE TACKLE PROSPECTS - SUCCESS RATES IN THE NFL

BY - FITZ

• WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4, 2021

Defensive tackle looks like being one of the more risky positions to draft.



Looking at first round defensive tackle draft picks over the past decade or so and there are an awful lot of picks that teams would likely like to have back. As with the review of QB picks, they are ranked as to whether they are 'disappointing' (this covers everything from complete busts through to players that are not viewed as quality starters - the minimum you would want to get from a first round pick), to OK (players that look like decent starters or that have potential to improve) through to 'Good' players - quality starters and beyond.

It is clear that 2010 saves this particular group from looking even worse with Gerald McCoy and Ndamukong Suh adding almost half of the top tier DT draft picks from this period.

Year	Total	Disappointing	OK	Good
2010	5	2	1	2
2011	4	4	0	0
2012	2	0	1	1
2013	4	2	2	0
2014	2	1	0	1
2015	2	2	0	0
2016	4	3	0	1
2017	0	0	0	0
2018	3	2	1	0
2019	6	2	4	0
Total	32	18	9	5

Travon Walker may have vaulted into the top 10, he is my Aaron Donald lite. If he is gone looking at Devonte Wyatt to be A'shawn Robinson.

Wyatt-- Joseph Day/Rookie --Justin Jones would give Staley a huge front 3 to free up Bosa and Nwosu?/Rumph on the edges

Draft talk here is kind of ripping along. Its good to see. The mood is energetic. Thanks guys for making this place pretty fun.

Looking at the post above yours, DTs in the first are high risk. Get proven FA DTs and save the 1st round draft capital. Wyatt in the 2nd would be great.

Chargers draft tracker: Every player the Bolts have met with



By Jason Reed
10:51 AM PSTNFL Combine / Michael Hickey/GettyImagesThe NFL Combine is underway which means that NFL Draft season is in full force. The LA Chargers have the 17th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft and a total of 11 picks in the seven rounds.

What the Chargers target in the draft is going to widely depend on what the team addresses in free agency. There are multiple potential first-round needs for the Chargers that could change with who the team signs as a free agent in March.

However, fans are starting to get an idea on who and what positions the Bolts are targeting in the 2022 NFL Draft based on who the team has met with in the draft process. This article will serve as your one-stop news source for everyone the Bolts have met with and will be updated regularly.
Chargers draft tracker: Who the Bolts have met with ahead of the 2022 NFL Draft


Ahmad Gardner, CB, Cincinnati

Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner, who is one of the best cornerbacks in the draft class this season, told reporters that he met with the Chargers. Gardner is a fan-favorite possible selection for the Chargers but it seems unlikely that he will fall to them with the 17th overall pick.

If the Chargers do not re-sign Mike Williams this offseason then there is a chance that the team uses the 17th overall pick on a wide receiver. One of the options is Treylon Burks of Arkansas, who said he met with the Falcons, Dolphins, Seahawks and Chargers.

Jerreth Sterns, WR, Western Kentucky

Tyler Schoon of the Guilty As Charged podcast reported that Jerreth Sterns met with the LA Chargers. Sterns is a five-nine slot receiver that could be a mid-round target for the Bolts.

Greg Dulcich, TE, UCLA

Dulcich told reporters that he met with the Chargers and the UCLA tight end could be a potential mid-round target for the Bolts if they do not sign a free agent tight end. Dulcich ran a 4.61 40-yard dash at the combine on Thursday.

Chigoziem Okonkwo, TE, Maryland

Those that are impressed by Dulcich's 4.61 40-yard-dash will be even more impressed with Chigoziem Okonkwo's 40-yard dash. Okonkwo posted the best 40 time of any tight end, clocking in at a 4.52. He is a popular commodity, as he has met with 30 teams.

Sean Rhyan, OT, UCLA

Sean Rhyan not only met with the Chargers but also said that he had a great conversation with assistant offensive line coach Shaun Sarrett. Rhyan's early projections are that of an early second-round pick.

Vederian Lowe, OT, Illinois

The Chargers were named as one of several teams that has had an informal meeting with Vederian Lowe, while the Chiefs have had a "formal" meeting.

Luiji Vilain, EDGE, Wake Forest

Per Schoon, the Chargers also met with Wake Forest edge rusher Luiji Vilain. The senior finished with eight sacks in the 2021 season.

David Ojabo, EDGE, Michigan

David Ojabo is one of the best edge-rushers in the draft this year and told reporters during the combine that he has met with the Chargers.

Jesse Luketa, EDGE, Penn State

The Chargers were named as one of several teams to meet with Jesse Luketa thus far. Luketa is currently projected to be an early pick in day three.

Uriah Leiataua, DL, BYU

Schoon also reports that the Chargers spoken with Uriah Leiataua's agent.

Thomas Booker, DT, Stanford

Thomas Booker is a potential early day-three option for the Bolts at defensive tackle. Brett Kollman reported that the Chargers met with the Stanford senior.

Trent McDuffie, CB, Washington

A potential first-round target for the Bolts, Trent McDuffie said that he has met with the Chargers and even went as far as to say that he feels like he would be a good fit in LA.

Verone McKinley, DB, Oregon

McKinley himself said that he has met with the Chargers. McKinley is a former teammate of Justin Herbert and would be a versatile member of the secondary who could add depth and line up in various alignments.

Akayleb Evans, DB, Missouri

Another versatile defensive back that the Chargers could target in the mid rounds, Missouri's Akayleb Evans has also met with the Bolts.

Tre Sterling, DB, Missouri

Tre Sterling told the Guilty As Charged podcast that he has met with the Chargers. Sterling is yet another example of a versatile defensive back who can line up in various alignments on defense.

Joey Blount, DB, Virginia

The last of the versatile defensive backs (for now), Joey Blount has also met with the LA Chargers. Blount played safety, slot corner and in the box for Virginia last season.

Matt Araiza, P, San Diego State

Everyone's favorite punter with a massive leg, Matt Araiza, confirmed that he has met with the Chargers.

We will be a versatile, line of scrimmage defense.
