Official 2022 NFL Draft Day 3 Thread

[equivocation]

7th round picks are crap shoots, take fast guys, line em up and let them compete.

[Xenos]

So he's an UDFA actually so a little high again for a 6th. They don't have much luck down here usually anyway

Oh you’re talking about Taylor. Staley probably liked his upside and versatility enough that he wanted him in the 6th. Also understand that big board and rankings start going out the window the further down the draft you go. Especially on the third day. Every team is going to have different rankings based on need and scheme.

"Insider" rumors were that we were only looking at WR projects day 3. Club really likes Palmer.

6th and 7th round DB's were picked to make us faster to the ball in ST's and CB.

This. Guyton didn't have a down year, it's just that there are only so many opportunities to be targeted with all the weapons the Chargers have. And as you point out, Palmer certainly took some catches away from Guyton. Both Parham and Ekeler had career record years in receptions. Guyton might be slightly underutilized, if anything. It is a good problem to have. And it makes sense the Chargers have not drafted a WR through six rounds.

Guyton had a typical year. 25-30 receptions, 3 TDs. That's what he is, a depth player who gets the occasional long ball. Palmer likely I'd our out right #3 next season.

[Charge!]

I think the WR corps is so deep already, it's probably the least needy position group on the roster.

not really.... we have 2 really good WR's..... neither of them is considered a complete number one WR (who can do it all)..... the rest of our guys are ok .... we still lack explosive speed and RAC which is best way to take advantage of Herberts strong arm..... our offense was not averaging over 30 points per game so it needs improvement.....

No, I very much believe we screwed ourselves by not trading up at #75 to select Travis Jones, who was ranked 93 players higher than J.T. Woods on one of the consensus big boards. Our forum knew that the Ravens were taking Jones at #76, so no credit to Telesco if he missed that one. And the #75 pick was actually traded, proving that a trade could have been made for it. I think this failure hurt us later in the draft when decided to go after a DL player instead of taking Araiza, so we really paid for this error in multiple ways.

I always think about stupid moves like this when I see our team and think, "Man, we are just a player or two away." It is mistakes like the one described above that keep us a player or two away.

Once again, you really shouldn’t be talking given how you don’t understand Staley’s defensive scheme.

[Charge!]

His proficiency in pass protection is a huge plus. It's common for young RBs to have their carries limited until they can they prove they aren't a liability in pass protection. This won't be the case with Spiller.

Like Zion, Spiller should be able to start from Day One and be a significant upgrade over the guy he replaces.

agree!

Its obvious Staley was taking charge of this draft

[Lone Bolt]

Last chance for Britain Covey....and Max Borghi....either one would be a nice wild card addition to our camp.

[TexanBeerlover]

It was clear that Dean was a medical DQ as I have now stated multiple times. Sometimes a medical issue lowers a player from where the player might otherwise go. Other times, the player is completely off the board. If our team's medical staff says "do not take this guy, he has a medical issue," I do not fault Telesco for not taking him.

NFLN reported that Dean's medical issue was a major issue for many teams. I did not see Dean as a healthy faller at all.

By contrast, there was no mention of Jones having any such issues. He just fell unexpectedly. That is why he was clearly the BPA when #75 rolled around. That was roughly a full round below his consensus rank and some had him ranked in the first round. In terms of value, it was a repeat of Keenan Allen's situation.

JT Wood fits what Staley wanted and addressed DT in 5th (Otito Ogbonnia) is long and athletic, different fit/type than Jones who is more prototypical Nose Tackle.

[Bearded14YourPleasure]

There goes Gunter. EDGE is my #1 concern at this point.

[Topcat]

For next years 6th from the Bears

Next year, Bolts should package those their 6th rounders for a 5th...just keep moving up...
