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

[Lone Bolt]

Not gonna say I don't like this pick...but really wishing we had our sites on the RB room...

We want to marry the run and the pass? Seems more like a bad 3rd date than a true courtship....they must really like Spiller, cuz from where I'm sitting, if Ekelor goes down, there is no run game....and he will be gone next year.

Bolts pick WR Davis, TCU! What? another wideout???

A little bit worrisome.

They spent so much time getting to know Johnston, that they got to know Davis as well.

The comfort level that makes Telesco search for talent in a small pond.

5'8 165. The Chargers really believe they have the players in place to beat KC! They drafted for a returner. Staley is all happy with this pick giving high fives. uggg.

Eagles taking Georgia guys, Chargers taking TCU guys

Okay, looks like Bolts got their returner in Davis...only 5-8 165#...

Damn.....that's tiny!

I dig this kid. 500+ KO return yards last year and 250+ PR yards last year. A WR with 4.36 speed. Every body says we need to score more and this kid can help.

I don't like that pick. Tiny dude.

Likely just a KR and they could of drafted Trey Palmer who was a tick faster and much bigger and a terrific return guy.

[OG619FrightninLightnin]

4.36

"Best punt returner in this draft"

[Boltinloudguy]

I get the pick, just think it’s a bit early for Darius Davis. I would have preferred Tyler Scott personally. But here’s to hoping Davis is used properly.

Davis...4.36 speed...not bad:

Scouting Report: Strengths

• Shows quickness off the snap to shake off corners and create room. Separates with hesitation moves and nice acceleration.
• Davis also proved to be a force in catch-and-run situations. A violent runner who transitions upfield quickly after the catch, Davis has the speed to pick up chunks of yardage once he’s broken the first tackle.
• Keeps his feet active and eyes up to dodge traffic quickly and easily. Has excellent straight-line speed to be a breakaway threat at any level. Will initiate contact and runs through high tackle attempts but isn't overall a powerful player.
• His long arms allow him to play bigger than his size, and he has a frame that can carry a little more weight.
• Davis is a natural playmaker, at his best with the ball in his hands.
• Very good hands, accepts the ball fluidly on most throws and is ready to make a play afterward. Makes catches in traffic, even going up over taller defenders with vertical and toughness

Scouting Report: Weaknesses

• His ability to track the ball is good enough, but Davis too often let the ball get into his body downfield rather than snatching it with his hands.
• Physically, he profiles as a guy who should have success facing the quarterback, but he struggles to gear down and make the necessary sharp cuts to create separation underneath.
• Does not always use his hands to secure deep throws, allowing the ball into his pads and chest.
