2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

[C'monchargers]

I endorse Trey Benson. My #1 RB target in this draft.
I like Coleman but doubt we go WR round 1 again.
I like Brenden Rice hopefully round 4 but he may go round 3.

I also don't think they go WR first round and depending on their decision on M. Davis they might need a man on man corner to pair with Asante Samuel Jr. which is becoming a stud zone corner. At the moment some ranked coleman at 2nd, some like Odunze, some like Nabers footwork and elusiveness; it is very unclear who the second guy is.

You know this coming draft is precisely why I was not very high on the Johnston pick. I need to be careful here not shade him too much becuae he is our guy and absolutely got the potential to develop into somebody really good. But my thinking was last year's draft they have polished WR that can produce immediately, although they might not have the prototypical sizes but they are ballers; but the Chargers chose to go with a project. Well if they did then I assume they know of the talent coming out in 2024 and that the Chargers feel as with QJ improvement, by the next draft (2024) he will be better than most of those dude. Otherwise the project is not playing out because whatever the Chargers had in mind of what QJ can be, you can draft off the shelves in 2024.

I can't shake the idea off my mind that I was watching a small forward in basketball playing football, a Paul George at that. Minimal contact, try to win with speed and finesse. Well unfortunately that doesn't work in football because body contact is very much allowed in football. Maybe one thing would help him is the idea of "offensive foul" like the ones in basketball doesn't exsist in football and he needs to have some hubris on his physical capability.

Also, I keep seeing peple knocking Herbert for not giving QJ the looks; I think a completion takes 2 to tango. If Herbert's feel as if QJ can't handle a contested catch then naturally he would go to a guy that he can rely on. Can't count on somebody all the time when a 75% ball becomes 50-50 all the time. They keep speaking on giving QJ some sweeps and in space, isn't dude 6'4"? I don't know too many teams wants to get their 6'4" guy on the sweep all the time; he has a very high center of gravity and run very upright, that's a bad recipe for anything within the first 5yd since defense can check him very hard and slow him down.

I don't want to go any further on this but QJ need to prove to the team that he can make himself a big target and can hold up well during contested catches.

Adisa Isaac has become a really good player. Took him a while (5 years) and will probably be 23 when drafted....but in the 3rd or 4th would be a solid pick. Michigan isnt really testing King and Co...he did just commit a stupid penalty after around 18 straight Michigan runs. Smallish and better in zone than man. I doubt his brother Kobe declares but he is 3 years removed and is a solid little MLB. Very active today. PSU has a bunch of good defenders but it looks like Robinson is on a snap count and thats the first round caliber guy id target off this team.

Yes and i do have caution about those guys who take a lot of time but he was in my first mock i posted. I also had Nate Wiggins in it and he had to be motivated by Sweeny to buy in so i have caution about him too when he starts getting paid. But i like his play.

Jags made an offer i couldnt refuse. These are pointless since rankings are so far off pre ASG/Cobine/PD.

I cant remember a year when i was so fond of 2 WRs on the same college team. Texas. FSU. Washington. Ohio State . All 4 have killer high end 1/2 punches. Ole Miss has a couple sleepers i love. Looking forward to seeing how they do against Georgia. Harris/Watkins/Franklin are so underrated.

Rome Odunze is a bigger and faster Keenan. You cant play off him as he blows right past you. You cant win at the line because he is DK freaky and tosses guys. But the way he attacks the ball in the air is straight divine. He will be a monster WR at the next level. A true legit #1 freak. Great draft for WR freaks imo. It just makes sense to sometimes take players in the teeth of the draft. And this year is the year to take a WR with #1 ceiling upside. Tesleco used a #1 on a complimentary WR in a weak WR class....thats fine if you draft the right guy....but if Mike and Keenan are gone next year? We see what happens without MW on the field right? I actually would not be shocked if we kept both guys and freed up cap elsewhere. Because of what is happening to the offense without MW. But if he goes? Im not real comfortable with QJ/Keenan/Palmer. Unless we drafted Bowers or something. But if QJ was drafted forward thinking? Its time to think forward again in this draft and why not go there when the drafts strength is this type or WR? Just smart GM work if you ask me. But that probably means TT does the opposite.

Round 3 at worst. I think he will go round 2.
He isn't having a great day today but the entire FL st offense isn't having a good day.....thus far.
Granted Benson isn't quite the tier I'd put Breece Hall at.

Benson just busts loose for a 38 yard TD as I type this. Dude has some wheels.

Mokofisi what a heads up play.

Trey Benson is an untapped source in the receiving game. They are so loaded at WR they rarely dump off to him...but he has major big play ability in the pass game. His average YPC is close to Bijans levels. And he has a ton of huge runs after the catch. I draft on upside and projections more than i do college production...but he is simply not used in the passing game and if he was? He would be an easy high 2nd prospect. I have him there now. RBs always shuffle with 40 times. Still such a major contributor to how they get drafted...but i think he shows well in post and combine display. He is 6'1 225 and could run in the 4.3's. Breece Hall type player. Good comp for him imo. Half the mileage coming out if he declares.

I know I've said it before, but I'd trade the house for Brock Bowers. Because of the TEs are the greatest thing that ever happened to football thing.
