2022 Official Bolts Draft Superthread

[21&500]

a lot of times it’s hard to find quality in FA period. And if you do, you often have to pay up the nose for it. I’m not sure I even put Edge on this list anymore, Nwosu has arrived and if the chargers don’t come to that realization then someone else will reap the benefits of all the development the chargers have already put into him. CB/DT or DT/CB is the biggest glaring issue in whatever order you think is most relevant to how the draft falls to the chargers. I still think Matt Fieler is destined to be our RT, his body type from a leverage POV seems to fit the profile better. He has struggled against squat low center of gravity DTs this year. According to PFF his best stats while at Pittsburg came at RT before they moved him inside out of necessity. It’s easier to find a solid guard in FA than a RT so if we already have one on the roster it would make sense to slide him over there, resign oday for RG and go get another veteran for LG, it’s cheaper and it saves us from drafting RT high which allows the team to focus on defense. I’m still drafting another OT but later on in rounds 4-6.

I like the idea.
Slater is now a vet and can be tasked to grow chemistry with Jaimes or whoever.

So that is why I suggest Nakobe.
Patrick. Kelce. Tyreek.

Vs power he sidestess blocks well,
and gets to the football.

We have got to find a new role for K9...uber athletic/sensitive soul.

There absolutely has to be something he can do...

Power back?!?

If Aboushi comes back healthy he should be the starter at RG. He played great before the knee. Schofield is serviceable enough to be Oday’s back up, especially if Jaimes progresses.

In other words, the guard situation does not warrant a priority draft pick. Save those for CB, DT, EDGE, and RT.

Out of those four positions, at least one will be solved through FA. Quality edges and tackles are hard to find in FA so I’m guessing they will be our first 2 picks.

Latest...what skill sets are desired ?

Many pundits only consider Jordan Davis, Leal to be top 50.

Sounds like Jameson Williams will be available at #17. He might even slide out of the first round. Torn ACL.

No. Please no.

Staley will try to salvage him somehow. This is assuming White gets extended.

[Bolt4Knob]

No. Please no.

The Chargers cannot use a first round pick on Jameson Williams if he is going to be out a bulk of the offseason, training camp and year. They just cannot waste a year of Justin Herbert at this time.

I am leery of WR in R1 - especially if you bring back Mike Williams. But I just think you can go so many other ways: IDL, CB, RT or even trade back.

I just noticed something.
Staley said "defensive front."

That includes EDGE, now doesn't it ?

I heard part of his talk today and he mentioned part of pass defense is not just the DBs but the pressure. So yes, I can see Edge being a priority besides IDL.

[blueman]

No. Please no.

Do you not like the player or a WR pick that high?

[Formula 21]

Who gets in the playoffs? Teams with QBs. Who gets teams into the playoffs, QBs or RBs? Overwhelmingly it’s QBs.

I’m starting to lean CB with the 1st pick. Or a potential 10 sack edge. Gotta limit the QB to advance to the playoffs. IDL in FA so we don’t wait two years training them up.

How can you not extend White? It’s insane to not do it. The thought should not even enter your mind.
