Best pure RT in the draft is who I'm advocating.

FWIW, Devon Witherspoon is the best CB in this draft, but I don't see it as pressing need for the Chargers in the top 4 rounds. YMMV.

would be a need pick by my take, and.... would be very surprised if team Tommy John let Mayer by them.... personally would be Bijan all day there.... if not, then Torrence & Branch are (much) better gets as well.

Yes sir! I'd take Broderick or Darnell over all the shiny things every day of the week... and twice on Sundays!

Slater and Zion were my favorite projections last 2 drafts..I have as much appreciation for the trenches as anybody...(well...cept' maybe you...)but you do need some "shiny things" to catch passes or run the football, if your gonna score touchdowns...just sayin'...

[Lone Bolt]

Furthur more, Ill put the likes of Wright or Jones in my first round cluster if we let Pipkens out to market, and not before...as of now, neither player is a need, and I doubt either player will be BPA when we pick.

I don't think any player has scored more total TD's in the last 2 years than Ekeler (38).
We got shiny things... KA, MW, Ekeler... and of course Herbie.
Get a guy that protects them all.

You wouldn't leave your Mazzeratti parked out in the rain. Think of Darnell as a garage... a really nice garage.

As of right now, our RT is Andrew Trainer. Austin Pleasants is our swing tackle.
If I could keep Keenan, Mike, Mack, and Bosa... I'd do it. If it meant not having Pipkins in order to keep them... I'd do it. If I could replace Pipkins with Wright... I'd do it.

[Boltnut]

BPA is in the eye of the beholder. It's a term people use to plug their guy... to rationalize one guy over another.
MY BPA's are all OT's and CB's this draft.

If I was forced to create a cluster (not a big fan BTW)... I'd go:
Broderick Jones
Darnell Wright
Clark Phillips III
Joey Porter Jr.
Brian Branch

Tackles you keep no matter what. Keeping KA when there are playmakers sprinkled all over that draft is just plain stupid. But being Stupid is the Charger way. If Pipkins comes at a reasonable price this is way beyond silly. KA didn't help us win a playoff game so I don't see it anymore. Two years he could be retired anyway when people don't want to pay him the big bucks anymore.

If you like OT's so much... go get a much better one in the draft. I see one who handled Will Anderson last year. Do I think Pip could do that...? I don't.
And I'm not dumping my automatic 100+ receptions WR for some rookie post-21 pick WR. Not while I'm making a SB run... THAT would be stupid.

I want a playmaker in the first not another tackle...Sometimes you have to take what the draft is heavy in and whip out the checkbook in those categories...
