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

[QSmokey]

What's your 40 time?

[Xenos]

One of the best KR/PR guys in college. Legitimate speed to stretch the field.
Isn't that what everyone wanted?
4th round is higher than everyone expected... but still fills a big need.

Yeah I think the round is unexpected. But it’s fine since we obviously needed another WR who was a returner.

[Velo]

May have picked him a round or two early. But if he does what he needs to do then I’m fine with the pick.

This right here. Wisdom my man. Especially this late in the draft, who cares if a player was maybe picked too soon if he turns out to be the player you needed.

To look on the negative side:

They chose an edge who very well might be too slow to be an effective edge rusher (& who cleaned up on PAC 12 Olinemen - big deal!)

They chose a converted safety/wide receiver to be an undersized linebacker, who only has two years at the position (sort of like Tranquil)

They chose someone to be their KR/PR (& might fail at that) a round or two earlier than everyone expected

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.

That’s my impression as well. Definitely someone that I think is a good fit, adds another dimension and gives us more pop on Special Teams. Just thought he’d be a 6th/7th round pick. Assume Chargers had some intel that he wouldn’t last that long. Like the speed element for jet sweeps and potential to stretch the field on occasion.

Classic TT draft. This really feels like it could be the last draft TT every has here or for any other team for that matter.

Well the Rams got my dream 7th round pick. Good for Stetson.

[dmac_bolt]

They could have drafted Bryce Ford Wheaton who is 6'4 221 who runs a 4.38!

BFW isn’t a kick returner. Doesn’t have the body type you want.

I don’t think Davis replaces either Dub or Slayer. Johnston replaces one of them though. Not sure if its 2024 or not

[WindsorUK]

He ran a 4.36 40. What do you consider fast???

Plus his 3 cone and 10 yard shuttle times were extremely poor.
Definitely a speedy guy. Apparently has issues throttling down so best that Justin hits him in stride and watch as he blows past every member of the opposition.

This player could of been had in the 7th round.

How about the Fresno kid Hoehner (Haehner?) - that kid can ball out

[victoriaboltfan]

Eagles just traded for Deandre Swift
