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

[Xenos]

Doesn’t everybody have some injury history? If you eliminate all you’d have very little left to choose from.

Some more than others. HH never played a full season with us unlike even guys like MW, KA, or Derwin.

Feeling great Xenos
hosting a little draft get-together tomorrow.
Our traditional draft day drink is a "Snakebite"
equal parts guiness and hard cider.

Flying Friday morning to SF to visit my nephew before he studies abroad for a while.
also an excuse to eat at the Warf and fairy building for 2 days.
Best part...
wifey and I get to follow the draft WITHOUT LITTLE KIDS!!!
Hallelujah!! Haha.

Why has Joey Porter Jr. been sliding down draft boards? Did he not show well in Indy or his pro day? Was he caught smoking crack with a hooker?
If this kid is available at 21, he's gotta be in the mix.

Hard pass on Porter...he will draw a ton of flags his first year...like any rookie outside CB, he will be exploited...we are ready to win now, and can find a better contributor in the first.

I’m predicting the Double Domer Draft. Mayer and Foskey. The board will explode with joy when that happens.

I would not be unhappy with those two players.

#1 Carolina drafts Richardson, going with size and upside.

#2 Texans draft Anderson, new HC wants defense.

#3 Cardinals trade back with a team that wants a QB.

[Velo]

My prediction for round 1 is that Velo will be hitting a home run at softball and rounding the bases as the Chargers make their first pick.

Mayer ran a 4.7 40 at the Combine. A bit on the slow side. He's not going to run away from DBs or even LBs unless they're lying on the ground. Are we sure this is the TE we want?

You can focus on speed or you can focus on production. He was still “the guy” even though defenses focused on stopping him. And I see no reason why he still wouldn’t be very productive as a pro.

That is a bit slow but probably not as slow as you're thinking. Travis Kelce clocked in at 4.63 and Gronk at 4.68. Mayer is not the pick because he runs fast, he's the pick because he's a good all-around TE. He catches everything in reach, he's a good blocker, and even though he's slow, he runs over people and carries people for extra yards after they try to tackle him. Gates was slow too and we loved him.
