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

[COLDCUT]

4th and 7th....., Not sure if the 7th is this year, 4th obviously isnt. We should of been able to get better for Ekeler.

Idk, I'm just ready to move on from Telesco.

Would only have made sense if they were going to use their 1st pick on Gibbs. I suppose we could have acquired an additional third maybe?

[LarryAW]

So do I - we're finally going to win a Super Bowl. Hope I stay in remission long enough to watch us do it. Go Bolts!

Your personality and attitude are your superpower. I expect you to stay in remission.

Hopefully, us old farts will be justly rewarded with a Super Bowl win in the new future.

He's the perfect size for a kick returner, and that was what this pick was all about. He'll be the No. 6 WR. Returning kicks will be his primary role.

165 lbs is never the perfect size lol,...unless you are a kicker. And most of them are bigger.

[RockyMtnBoltFan]

he was the #1 ranked returner...they needed one and they got the best one, whatever he does at WR is just frosting...

Perhaps the NEED is my issue with this draft. I think all of the picks seem fine/good. But we are being VERY specific with our picks, while I see a lot of other teams working the board, picking up additional picks and just getting BPA. I’d like to see more of that to have better depth across the board.

His role is not to power through people, but to avoid them. His small size is an asset in that capacity.

Or the Chiefs, or the Bengals, or the Bills, or the 49ers, or a shit load of other teams. Not sarcasm. This off-season has been a total cluster fuck. Starting with the retention of Staley and Telesco. This Draft is the result of those mistakes.

So you gonna bail?

[sonorajim]

I do find it odd that we have 2 $20 million WR's and 2 of our first 4 picks are WR.
Maybe our 2 high priced guys aren't worth the dough????

We drafted deep threat and KR / PR WRs.
KA & MW are still #1 & 2.

[Boltjolt]

Yep...no reason to risk Palmer as a returner when we now have Davis...

I wasn't talking about Josh Palmer, I was talking about drafting Nebraska WR Trey Palmer.

So you gonna bail?

No one should bail on this team. Hope for the best and these new players put us over the top and make the best out of this. IE if we fail again this season it opens the door to bring in a new GM and HC so this next season becomes a win win either way. Really sucks to waste another season with Herbert tho if things go south. This was really the draft to make trades and get more picks or even trade Ek for a player and or pick. What I really believe is TT and BS are sort of delusional and believe we are on track to overtake the Broncos and KC! Nothing is impossible but they seem sort of arrogant because we made the playoffs last season, when in actuality we beat one team with a winning record and were a one and done team.

I'm not seeing him fake anyone out after getting his hands on the ball: surprising for a guy 165 pounds.
He needs to get to a seam or the edge.

His failure to run the 3-cone, and his average shuttle time confirmed what I was seeing.

Once again, if he was at another school, I guess i'd be fine with it.
Same Telesco shit, locking on to a small group of schools.

[Boltjolt]

He's replacing DeAndre Carter.

Yes but he isn't replacing Keenan or MW as stated in the post I replied to.

[Lone Bolt]

Keondre Coburn at NT is somewhat interesting, agile NT....Karl Brooks a small school sammie who could be a good developmental 3tech behind SJD...so some hope for interior oline depth...

Still good options for IOL depth...

I am still holding out hope for Chase Brown...
