Nice draft haul.

Has Wu-dai's name been thrown into the hat yet concerning the open GM position with the Chargers?

Harrison drops to us because of all the QBs picked before us? Latu falls because of his combine failure?

[sonorajim]

I think Bowers ceiling is higher than Turner's and Latu's.

How many weapons does Herbert have to throw to again?

Nothing special currently. In 2024 Allen, Palmer ( one of Harrison, Bowers, Nabers)

Giving up on QJ ?

how would yall feel about this draft

Will Clapp is not good, Brendan Jaimes is not NFL quality and Pipkins needs upgrading. How many picks can we spend on the OL this year? Sad. TT just could never get the OL right.

I might as well start every post with, "AH" (assuming Harbaugh):
I suspect Jim will try to coach up Pipkins because he has the physical tools and movement ability to get the job done, his issue is lack of accountability imho.
First order of OL business is identifying the right Center to lead the OL and if we don't/can't afford to bring in a FA, I fully expect Jim to consider Zion, maybe Salyer.
Jim will draft a starting guard and depth pieces.

As far as RB, I’m not giving up on Spiller yet. I still think he can be a good RB with a new HC and new Oline coaches. The 2 RBs I like in the mid rounds, although 2 very different RBs are, Braelon Allen and Bucky Irving.

Even though Irving is 40 lbs lighter, he seems just as difficult to bring down. And a good receiver out of the backfield. Allen is just a mauler that this team hasn’t had since Means. With Spiller receiving skills, I think a tandem of Allen and Spiller could be a good one. Then with their last pick of the draft, take RB Keilan Robinson. Robinson doesn’t have much production at all, but he has speed and can be the backup return specialist. The skat back they need with speed. He’s my Keaton Mitchell of this year who I was screaming for I. The 7th round last year.

I would also look on the FA market for a cheap veteran presence. Maybe a D’Onta Forman, Antonio Gibson, D’Ernst Johnson, Salvon Ahmed.

Antonio Gibson is interesting to me. He has great size, speed and hands. He’s had a really bad offense and Oline in his career in DC. I would definitely take a flier for a year on him and bring out the talent he has. He can line up all over the field with his WR background.

Go into the season with

I. Spiller
B. Allen
A. Gibson
K. Robinson

I’d be good with that with a new Oline coaches.

So...somebody take the con arguement on this one...cuz I cant figure why Audric Estime isnt getting much buzz...225 plus, and looks fast enough on tape, with fair quicks to boot...his recieving/pass pro isnt fully developed, but more how he was used, vs ability I think...on my radar...

[Lone Bolt]

I pulled this off on the PFN draft simulator...and I think it most accurately represents my overall vision for this team, concerning this years draft...focus on the offense, set Herbert up to succeed sooner rather than later, and start putting points on the board and dominating time of possession.

1. Brock Bowers TE Georgia
2. Kingsley Suamataia OT BYU
3. Jackson Powers-Johnson OC Oregon
4. Audric Estime RB Notre Dame

i like audric alot, ive mocked him to us acouple of times, the only times ive left him out is when someone fell into my lap i couldnt say no to. hes a thumper whose agile. my only knock on him is he hold the ball way to high. i understand high and tight but when you watch him that ball is tucked almost into the top of his shoulder, it wont hurt him playing, i just feel like he runs to stiff when he breaks away

Doesn't mean we HAVE to spend a first-round pick on a tight end or wide receiver. Spending a first-round pick on a wide receiver last April didn't help Herbert this year.

Agree about Bowers but not Harrison... If Harrison is there you take him. Pitts was drafted #4 and look how that turned out... Not saying to never draft a TE in the top 5 but then I kinda am... If we draft top 5 and Harrison is off the board I trade down for Kool Aid and another 2nd.

Harrison and QJ are vastly different and not even worthy of comparison.
