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

and at 290 is he explosive enough as a edge rusher in the NFL where the speed and tackles are better than college

He weighed 266 lbs at the combine.

Ok that sounds a little better

Why do i feel we have to pump ourselves up about our picks though??

Then Buffalo drafts later than us and walks away with Kincaid and Torrence

Telesco seems to fixate on position over BPA too much in top 2 rounds

Probably because we have certain names in our heads. So when we don’t get those names, we come away disappointed.

54. Chargers: Tuli Tuipulotu, EDGE, USC


Grade: B

Advanced rusher who's a good, not great athlete. Weird body type with short arms. Hurts him at the point of attack. I like Chargers adding more EDGE talent. Young has to get much stronger. Just scratching the surface of how good he can be.

A 20 year old just scratching the surface certainly bodes well going forward.

Good pass rusher but bad run defender according to this chart. Let’s hope Bosa and Mack stays healthy, and he comes out only on passing downs. I didn’t realize some of the other big names were also so bad at run defense.

I’m not buying he is bad vs rush compared to some of those 230 lb squirrels at the next level, personally. He plays Man-Sized Edge, fits on a LOS team.

gotta remember its Telesco.

so 3rd round guy is gonna be a huge reach most likely.

God let’s hope not again. You’re too right, its almost gonna be your fault for jinxing it and summoning the Telesco Third-round Trip - the Triple-T!

Evidently a lot of people can.

I only speak for myself

Time for pick #85
Bryce Ford-Wheaton WR

A TT special there. You never know.

Still finding it odd. Seattle drafted Kenneth Walker with the 41st pick in the 2nd round last season and he has a very good rookie season. A very successful pick. Then they draft another RB in the 2nd round at 52 the following year.

Odd I agree but lots of people have been brainwashed about the value of the run game

[dmac_bolt]

Evidently a lot of people can.

Lol. I am not unhappy yet after 2 picks, not unhappy at all. Team got better so far.

[Boltgang74]

I'm thinkin they go RB or CB in the 3rd

and at 290 is he explosive enough as a edge rusher in the NFL where the speed and tackles are better than college

Is he 290 LBs? NFL.com has him listed as 266.

[Boltjolt]

Another observation about Telesco, he seems to always draft projects that need refinement and a few seasons to be good players

We are hoping Woods and Spiller can be remotely useful in year 2 after being complete nothings in year 1

Our picks this year also seem like projects

All draft picks usually need some development. Some more than others. They say on average,45% of first rounders even bust. You just hope we picked the guy that don't. But we've had our share.
