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

I think #21 is going to be one of Kincaid, Mayer or Flowers. I’d love Bijan but I think he goes early, I actually think the Falcons take him at #8 and ultimately throw their hat in the Lamar sweepstakes. Just fits what Arthur Smith wants to do. I think Nolan Smith, Van Ness and Myles Murphy will be off the board by #21 and our second rounder is more fertile ground to find an EDGE.

Next level deception.
love it.

I'd rather trade down as I don't think any of those players warrants being drafted at 21.

@21 Kincaid and Mayer are worth it. Not sure about Flowers, the need is there but I don't know if he's
the right guy. In fact any WR is the first round for me is iffy, with maybe one exception.

Arthur Blank’s comments about why they aren’t in on Lamar seemed pretty carefully crafted to me, such that they could backtrack on it if they saw Lamar was healthy from the PCL. Also, in the same quote he blatantly lied about their interest in Watson last year. He said they were never that deeply interested when by all accounts the Falcons and Saints were the finalists until the Browns blew everyone away with the absurd guaranteed deal.

Also makes sense to me that everyone is waiting until after the draft. Non exclusive tag ties up too much cap space and a team with a high pick like the Falcons probably wants to take that off the table in a Lamar trade.

We say that every year.

It happened once in our lifetime and it was a disaster.

Nobody trusts Telesco to trade up or down.

Apologize if already posted...

Might be a better list somewhere, but I got this info from Walter Football...couple of guys we showed interest in.

David Durden WR Western Carolina Private visit

Broderic Martin DT Western Kentucky Private visit

Juice Scruggs C Penn State Virtual visit

Adetomiwa Adeboware DE Northwestern Private and combine

Ade is interesting....first round buzz...would hope we could nab him in the second with this deep class...trade back? I do like the prospect, but kinda sleep on him, cuz I slot him early second.

[Lone Bolt]

David Durden...small school speedster...another article had him at Western Florida.

[Lone Bolt]

We also talked to Bryce Ford Wheaton at the combine...size speed off charts, nice backup for big Mike...but raw, for sure...5th round?

6-4 220 plus...sub 4.4 40

He has some drop issues, but still under 10 percent drop rate...maybe we can at least get another Kassim Osgood special teams ace, with that length/speed

[Lone Bolt]

Broderic Martin is a late round wide body, NT depth piece...really good size/strength...another raw, small school sammie...

[Lone Bolt]

Ade had really explosive combine numbers, 40, vert, broad...lol...and the sucker tops 280! Strong, 27 reps...length a little meh...6-2...arms 33 and change...but very athletic big man, with inside versatility...I would sit tight, and maybe get a steal at 54.

4.49 40 at 282#
37.5 vert
10-5 broad

There is power there...
