2023 Official Charger Draft - Post Draft Discussion (Daily Links In OP)

[21&500]

This character may get locked up for a while...PASS...

For a misdemeanor?
what exactly is he being investigated for?
Racing?

[Boltjolt]

I think we should really do our homework here.
Carter in play at 21

Kincaid with disc issues, for me, is not.

I may be in the minority but i'll generally take a character chance over an known injury risk.

Disc issues? Is that confirmed or a guess?

[dmac_bolt]

Silly thinking...all 10 offensive linemen will play at one time or another during the season. You cannot have enough olinemen when at any time there is ALWAYS 1-2 linemen down for any game during the season with injury.

Why do you guys write things like that? Of course you can. We can’t have enough WRs, we were more depleted there than OL. We can’t have enough edge rushers, we surely did not have enough. Don’t even start me at RB, we do not have one single elite power back. Not one. Zero is not enough.

No sorry I meant potential disc issues based on Lonebolt saying an MRI can be requested to look for herniated discs.
I don't want to touch any back issues especially for such a small TE, but especially not if there are observable herniated discs.

Depends on what it is. If he is going to work out at his pro day, id call it not serious.

Lying to a police office AND reckless driving during an illegal street race, resulting in two deaths. Reckless driving, though a misdemeanor in some cases, can still result in months of jail time. Since there were two homicides in this case, it's possible the D.A. could still charge Carter with felony reckless driving resulting in a double homicide. However, we still need to see the entirety of the charges and evidence. Carter claims he is innocent.

When it comes to keeping Herbie healthy...when it comes to keeping Herbie from serious injury...I would argue that we need QUALITY O-line depth...I don't want to go into this season with backup O-linemen like Storm...

[powderblueboy]

Did he not show work ethic in college?
we need to find out WHY he didn't show up in shape.
Due diligence.

Why not have Staley just call his good friend in that program?

Don’t worry. Whatever position group has the least depth will get decimated by injuries. It’s the chargers way

From what I’ve seen, Herbie knows how to stay healthy.

Not saying we should continue drafting guards in the first round but until we never have an oline where Storm Norton is brought into action then we have enough. We've been traumatized. I'm also in the draft two RBs as we cannot have enough or simply upgrades over existing RBs.

I appreciate the nuance and I’m not a doctrinaire either. I think we solved the Norton thing, Sarrell is backup to Salyer in my imagined model, no team has 5 starting OTs so the trenchers gotta just forget that shit. Now we need backup interior OL. I am more concerned about C because Clapp got so abused he took the entire OL down with him when he had to go in. They need a C/G backup (or 2?), thats the new priority with Pipkins signed.

But i see lots of places that Rd1/2 could start or be in regular rotation and contribute extensively other than OL. We need to maximize the delta improvement of the team overall. Chargers invested heavily in OL; upgrading backups now is a Day 3 objective, not Day 1 or 2.
