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

[Lefty2SLO]

Branch is a terrific processor but doesn’t possess the elite traits of speed & length of Porter plus is probably a nickel and Chargers resigned Callahan. Would love Emmanuel Forbes as well, but the focus here is more physical, imposing corner who is excellent in run support. The lineage is just cool

When did we resign Callahan? Did I miss the memo???

No. 21: Los Angeles Chargers


Daniel Popper: Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame
Dane Brugler: Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame
The Athletic beat writer mock draft: Lukas Van Ness, Edge, Iowa
Betting market: Wide Receiver

Today is wide open. I'm gonna puke if TT drafts an interior lineman in the first and surprises the world.

Maybe it was the poor Lombardi run setups that made him look pedestrian at times. Our situations were easily diagnosed by other teams so maybe this had something to do with my ambivalence about Ekeler. We scored 3 points in the second half of that game so I don't know who to blame.

O, D, STs and coaches.

Cool i didnt even know users had that feature. What happens when you click on the link in the OP?

I have no idea what you're talking about. What link? What's an 'OP' (Does that stand for 'original post')? LOL! Don't worry about me. I'll just click on the last entry and scroll backwards. They'll be more posts than I can keep track of anyway.

F’me, thought Staley kept him? Signed 3 year w/Ponnies? Sucks, well there you go then, Brian Branch.

I'll puke if they use a 1st on a plodder TE . . . . . . . we need either trenches (O & D) or explosives.

I'm happy to start (or continue) an argument if you like . . . . . . . I'm sure I can get Dmac and Jim to play . . . . . If we add Smokey to the mix I'm pretty sure we can distract everyone well into the evening !

I'm game. But...unfortunately I don't have a strong opinion, nor the knowledge, about the college players to make any incendiary posts. Bijan...cool. Mayer...sure. Porter...why not? The team has so many needs it should be hard *not* to find a good fit. But then again, we ARE talking about Telesco, who could probably screw up a wet dream.

No...I don't see it on Sportrac yet. I think he still might be in play after the draft. I really don't think we'll know until after day 3 what we have there in the DB department.

Will you puke if/when someone gets hurt on the interior of the line and he has to play?

[Lefty2SLO]

Will the thought process that a selected player needs to make a significant impact THIS year color the teams decisions on early round selections? I would expect a learning curve to get any receiver (WR or TE) up to NFL speed, but a RB can usually hit the ground running, as can an edge or interior O or D lineman.

TT and Staley are all in for 23 - I believe they would PREFER to avoid early round project players, or positions with a steep learning curve. They need impact players NOW, not 2 years from now, if they want to keep their jobs.

We didn't - though I'd love to.

[Lefty2SLO]

We didn't - though I'd love to.

As long as he's still available after the draft - I'd love to have him back as well . . . . . . . maybe there is something to this 'handshake agreement' between Bryce and Staley we've heard about. I'd like Van Noy on a close to vet min contract as well.
