2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

[charger1_sj]

He wouldn't be the first guy to be misused in an offense. He proved he can catch at Georgia and he is an O lineman on blocking schemes. I would take him for Bosa in a heartbeat and the 6th I got was sweet too.

He hardly touched the ball at Georgia. Not sure he proved anything. He's a big guy, but skill wise is very much up in the air. Which is why he is a 3rd stringer.

So... you're threatening 'fan suicide'. <shrug>

Not sure why you have the need to advertise it. Do it, or don't. Plenty of fans jumped ship when the team left San Diego. Your dilemma is nothing new.

Wow…. Why is that a problem for you?

Never cared for you or your forum tyranny at SDUT where anything but slobbering over ownership and their draft picks was forbidden.

I'm certain you were severely abused over at SDUT. And sure, slobbering was forbidden. <rolleyes> Yadda yadda. You are speaking like a not well person. Hope it gets better for you.

You’re the one that felt the need to make this personal by attacking me first. I made a post about ownership. Leave the immature personal crap at the door.

Man there is some HIGH LEVEL TE play in these playoffs.

we need a star tight end.

Jake Ferguson went off.

[SAY OW 55]

We need Brock Bowers.

im listening to Tony Romo talk about how the bills got it right drafting Dalton Kincaid. How he’s a superstar and he’s gonna be really good in this league.

How we could’ve drafted him. We definitely need to draft Brock Bowers.

Please point out the 'personal attack' you're accusing me of making first. You're making things up.

Cade Otten had a nice night, too.

A lot of it has to do with their usage.
There were 3 TE's that played last night that went in the 4th rounds.
Cade Otton, Jake Ferguson, and Dalton Shultz. They were hardly used in college... but are having very productive NFL careers.
Even Sam LaPorta nearly doubled his college production as an NFL rookie.

Initially was 100% for Bowers and still think he’s an enormous upgrade for the offense but more importantly is hiring Harbaugh where I’ll trust whatever he thinks is our most pressing need. No second guessing that for me.

If Spanos fails to hire Harbaugh than it doesn’t matter who they draft. It’s over for me. I’ll adopt another team like the Rams and ownership that wants to win versus cling to a cheap family business.

A lot easier to root for a brain trust that drafted Nacua versus QJ.

But if they don’t hire Harbaugh? Feel free to stay a fan of the Spanos team. I’m certain the beatings will continue until morale improves.

I’ll trust in Harbaugh as well if he thinks a different piece will help the team more.

The Rams can eat a bag of dicks. Carpetbagging bitches. I’ve lived thru 50 yrs of Bolts, I’ll die a Bolthead.

Lol. You always laughed when I made jokes about those I thought to be problem posters, but you suspended me when I made a joke about you. You were a problem poster too.

Tsk tsk … Petty Tyrant, i see you

Otten is meh.
Ferguson I like.
LaPorta is a good one.

We don't want meh, we have meh,. we want a weapon at TE.

[Boltnut]

Often is meh.
Ferguson I like.
LaPorta is a good one.

We don't want meh, we have meh,. we want a weapon at TE.

We want a better team. The weapon@TE might not even get used much with Keenan on the same field.
Justin Herbert had his best year statistically with Lombardi @OC and Jared Cook @TE. Of course, that was also the year we could run the ball.

We can moan and complain all we want that we drafted QJ instead of Sam LaPorta last year. But we got QJ. He's on the team.
Who is to say that he won't develop...? Maybe they'll start using him correctly. Maybe he'll start hitting the Juggs machine...
He'll never develop sitting on the bench (or as a 4th option)... that for sure.

I liked Jake Ferguson and Dalton Shultz... I feel that there are some 4th-round sleepers in this draft @TE.
I just see CB, DE, and OT as much bigger needs.
How long must we endure bad defense? How long must we endure bad run/pass blocking?

While everyone is searching for unicorns... I'm simply trying to make the team better overall.
I put Bowers in my top-10. But I find 5 or 6 others that make this team better overall.

TJ Hockenson was drafted @#8. He never even made it to the 4th year of his contract before being traded. Statistically he's better than almost every other TE in the NFL (95 receptions this year). Yet, the team that traded him away (Lions) are in the playoffs... and the team he was dealt to (Vikings) are not.

Build a team. Ignore the hype.
