2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

[beachcomber]

how in the world do you even/ever begin to rank/slot this RB class.... the talent is incessant/endless,

Trey Benson * already has the Fleet 'n Jolt seals of approval (makes him almost a lock)
Jonathan Brooks * prolly returning to school
Daijun Edwards * personal bias, and.... just love this guy's shimmy/shammy & intangibles
Blake Corum *
Braelon Allen *
Bucky Irving
TreVeyon Henderson * fairly significant injury concern pushes him down the list
Raheim Sanders * think he's good value as he's better than he has shown due to recovering from injury
Donovan Edwards *
Devin Neal * Nutty is leaning in this guy's direction
Audric Estime * Golden Domer that is sure to be under heavy consideration w/team Tommy John
Miyan Williams * doesn't start, and doesn't always see the field.... in college
Jarquez Hunter * some think he's a solid/relatively safe selection who can be had in later rounds
Keilan Robinson *
Dillon Johnson *
MarShawn Lloyd *
Frank Gore Jr. *
Ray Davis *
Blake Watson *

really have no idea, other than an RB is a day two must get, and.... prolly not a bad idea to nab another one day three,

[Boltnut]

Good list, Beach! Doing work. A deep class. 3rd or 4th round probably gets you a good one.

[Boltnut]

more and more, am convinced it's between Latu & Newton....

Laiatu.... think he's gonna remind some peoples of Merriman, and.... be better than Shawne.

Jer'Zhan.... love his intangibles.

Laiatu is really growing on me.

Depends who is doing the picking. If it's Telesco, he probably picks the wrong one.....and I'll be ticked he didn't get fired.

[Fleet 1]

Rome/Polk/Franklin would be a sweet long term WR core for Justin. I like those 3 a lot but Rome is my biggest love. He is Mike Williams and Young Keenan combined. More pace.

[Boltnut]

Rome has been one of my favorites dating back a year ago. You're right, he is young Keenan with more speed. Harrison Jr. Coleman, and Odunze. Wow! That's some good talent at the top. But this year's class is pretty deep, too. There should still be some good receivers in the 3rd-5th rounds.

For me... I'm saving my 1st/2nd round for CB/OLB. 3rd round typically has some IDL candidates, RB's, TE's and WR's that I like. If we could trade Bosa and Mike Williams for 3rd and 4th round picks... I'd do it.

1st: CB/OLB
2nd: OLB/CB
3rd: IDL
3rd: TE
4th: RB
4th: WR

Man, I wish they would have taken Kincaid last year so I could justify them taking Odunze this year. But I am a big Newton fan, so I wouldn’t be upset if they went that direction.

A mid round WR that I do like is Ole Miss’s Tre Harris. Big, fast and has some wiggle for route running.

I just really hope they bring an OC and WR coach that knows how to use QJ and DD. But I also hope they both put in the work this offseason

1st mock of the year

1st- DT Jer’Zhan Newton
2nd- CB Kalen King
3rd RB- Raheim Sanders
4th- TE Cade Stover
5th- ED Mohamed Kamara
6th- WR Tre Harris
7th- OT Zion Nelson

I would also try to trade Bosa for a 3rd or 4th, MW for a a 4th or 5th and SDJ for a 6th or 7th. If they could get 3 extra picks, it would be massive for this mini rebuild moving forward.

If they were to get the 3 extra picks, this would be the direction I would go.

3rd- C Jackson Powers Johnson
5th- LB Cedric Gray
7th- DB Fentrell Cypress ll

Tre Harris seems to be a guy that makes contested catches... something QJ doesn't do.
King, Stover, Kamara, and Raym are guys I often mock.
I have a hard time spending a 1st round pick on IDL. Most of the time, I'm picking OLB or CB in the 1st.

12: R1 P12 EDGE Laiatu Latu - UCLA
44: R2 P12 CB Terrion Arnold - Alabama
76: R3 P12 LB Junior Colson - Michigan
112: R4 P12 WR Antwane Wells Jr. - South Carolina
148: R5 P12 RB Devin Neal - Kansas
187: R6 P12 TE Theo Johnson - Penn State
231: R7 P12 DL Keith Randolph - Illinois

I get your hesitation on IDL. If there is a possibility to get a Christian Wilkins, Jonthan Allen, Daron Payne or Derrick Brown. I’ll take a shot at it, especially if the value is there.

If you trade Bosa, you better take Edge early. I don’t know Kamara, maybe super-sleeper star surprise? Agree DT and CB are also high need picks, its a conundrum

[Topcat]

Laiatu is really growing on me.

Yep...imagine Tuli and Latu as bookend edge rushers...oh, with a side of Mack...check this out:

[Boltnut]

I see Jer'Zhan as the best IDL prospect this year (like most people). But @#12... I see other players at other positions that I think are more talented and would effect a defense (or offense) more than Jer'Zhan. Now, if we're picking around #20... that might be different.
