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

[Boltjolt]

How do you get under the cap? How do you re-sign/sign FA's to get to the 53-man roster?

Other teams seem to find a way when we hear they are over the cap. Look at the Cowboys and Rams. Before least season they had hardly any picks and we're over the cap and won a SB. KC another.
And I wouldn't expect us to be signing many FAs next year,especially high priced FAs. Id expect none on the high end.

As for Mack, you just dont give up a 2nd round pick for a one year rental. That would be pretty bad imo.
I think the Keenan trade talk is crazy. Whatever they do, he will be here next season....but im sure with a better cap situation.

What if Mack was just a bridge to the 2023 season?
We're still waiting for Rumph. If he is productive near year's end, do you think Mack is still essential?

I think Mack was an "All In" move for this year. His contract is structured as such.
I think there are some good EDGE players in this year's 2023 draft. Deep enough to legitimately be there near the end of the 1st round.

Assuming Will Anderson Jr and Myles Murphy are gone...

I think this class rivals 2021's class.

BTW, Chargers 2nd round picks haven't always been anything I wouldn't trade for a SB run for...

Marcus Gilchrist
Kendall Reyes
Manti Teo
Jeremiah Attouchu
Denzel Perryman
Hunter Henry
Forrest Lamp
Uchenna Nwosu
Nasir Adderly
Kenneth Murray
Asante Samuel

Asante Samuel
Erik Weddle
Marcus McNeill
Drew Brees
Henry I still wish we had him.

And I'd consider Perryman a good pick, he was just injured too often.

Second round picks can be valuable, just have to draft the right guy. If they can swing it, I think Mack stays. We still need another Edge with Mack. Injuries and depth. This is where an owner with deeper pockets comes into play.

And save Brees or Weddle, I'd trade the rights of any of those away for Khalil Mack for 1 year... and a very good chance to win a SB.
If KA, JC, and Bosa are back healthy for the playoffs... that's a real possible outcome.

This TE Kincaid for Utah is going off.

Good looking player.

Blake Corum had another big day running the football, with 166 yards against a very good Penn State defense. I also liked what I saw from Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs. There's a lot of time before next April's draft, but I would be thrilled to have either of those backs in the second round. I want an elite back to complement Herbert, but I will settle for one who can rush for 1,200 yards a season during his prime.

His teammate Donovan Edwards had an even better day w/ 16 for 173. Both had 2 TDs.
They ran all over Penn st with over 400 yards rushing.

Yeah, he had a great game. Unfortunately he's a sophomore.

this is how I see our team needs for the next go 'round,

RB * not sure any one position will have a greater impact.... if and only if that prospect is named Bijan
CB * dependent upon what happens w/the either of Callahan and/or Mike D.
LB * the stat, most yards before contact, and paired w/most yards after contact.... does not bode well for Drue
TE * Richard Rodgers was a nice/excellent p/u this offseason, and.... think you look to add a player here
OC * team Tommy John has gotten very lucky here to date, and.... it's not an if but when, their luck will run out w/Corey
FS * personally don't see this player, but do see a coupla few CBs that work for me, so guessing that might be the more likely add
PT * not sure on this one, and despite that Scott seems to be a top 10 punter, he doesn't really have the boot when trapped deep in our own territory

players I see us moving on from next offseason.... Storm, Clapp, Richard Rodgers, Chase Daniel, Easton, Sony Michel, Tillery, Tranquill, Nasir, JK Scott
