Now that I've had a chance to study the top RB's coming out in this draft I've decided Audric Estime looks like he could be the perfect RB for us! 5'11 227 4.48ish speed! He definitely is a work horse type back and could fit that role here nicely!

Jebus! That's outstanding vision and balance, coupled with really decent power.Originally posted by electricgold View PostComment

Projected around the 3rd round! If he's on the board in the 3rd when we pick I would hope we would draft him! Bowers in the first, the best D player on the board in the 2nd and Audric in the 3rd could go a long way here!Originally posted by OG619FrightninLightnin View PostComment

"At every position… [Tom Telesco] is putting a massive, and that is the word that they used, a massive value on speed. That is a big deal to him."
Tom Telesco prioritizing speed on the Raiders is a slap in the face to Chargers fans
Did anyone else see this in Bolt Beat? After building one of the slowest, if not THE slowest, roster in the NFL...NOW speed is massively important to him? The Chargers receivers and running backs are so slow that other teams can practically put both safeties on the line. Who is going to outrun them? Allen? Johnston? Palmer? Parham? Kelly? Spiller? Ekeler is gone and is slow now anyways. Derius Davis is a backup who is only useful on trick plays.
Teams are able to compress the field against the Chargers. This is why I really wanted Nabers. Having a quality starting WR with true game breaking speed would really, really help Herbert out. Now that Harbaugh is coach, that almost certainly isn't happening. I do love Bowers, and he is definitely a Harbaugh guy and will help the run game, but he isn't a deep threat. Hopefully Harbaugh can at least find a fast receiver in the later rounds. I hope so, because the chargers need more speed at almost every position.
At least Harbaugh should be able to find us some quality mean, late round guards or centers. The Chargers need them.Comment

IF Powers-Johnson checks out as the real deal wouldn't be opposed to use a 2nd on him! But he would need to show out at the combine and interview very well with what Harbaugh and Minter & Herbert would expect of him?! Also provided we could trade Bosa or Mack for a 3rd round pick we could go D with that pick, maybe LB Junior Colson or one of the better DB's or DE's on the board with the pick we would get in a trade??Originally posted by Boltnut View PostComment

Summary of Senior Bowl measurements
January 29, 2024
0 Comment
As noted earlier today, there’s a pretty good group of QBs at this week’s Senior Bowl in Mobile. However, its not a particularly big group. Michael Penix, the consensus top-rated passer in Mobile this week, for example, weighed in at only 212 pounds on a 6-2.5-inch frame; Penix, though, does have very big hands at almost 10-5-inches. At the same time, Bo Nix measured in at under 6-2 with relatively short arms. but did weigh 218 with decent sized hands of just under 10-inches, while Sam Hartman was just 6-1 with Spencer Rattler even shorter at just a smidgen over 6 feet even. In fact, the only Senior Bowl with more prototype pocket size was Joe Milton who measured in at 6-5, 235, while Carter Bradley was 6-3.
It also had to be a little bit of a disappointing day for UCLA DE Laiatu Latu, arguably the top-rated prospect overall in Mobile who very much looked the part measuring in at just under 6-5 and 260, but lacked the long arms NFL teams covet in potential elite edge rushers with just 32.5-inch arms. However, several other DEs more than passed the eyeball test today. Eric Watts of UConn, for example, measured in at 6-5.5, 277 and with over 35.5-inch arms, while Darius Robinson, another tweener type, was 6-5, 286 with 34.7-inch arms and huge 10.5 inch hands. Meanwhile, Western Michigan’s Marshawn Kneeland (6-3, 270, with 34-inch arms) likely did nothing to slow his rise in the ER rankings as he measured in at 6-3, 270 with 34-inch arms. In fact, it was a pretty good day for a couple of other somewhat under the radar edge rushers including Jalyx Hunt of tiny Houston Christian who came in at 6-4, 250, with 34-inch plus arms; Austin Booker of Kansas (6-4, 240 with 34-inch arms). Meanwhile, Chris Braswell of Alabama weighed in at 257 pounds, somewhat above expectations, although his less than 33-inch arms probably had to be a bit of a disappointment. On the other hand, Brandon Dorlus weighed in at 272, close to 20 pounds lighter than his listed weight, while he had 33.5-inch arms. The DE who stole the show among the ERs at today’s weigh-in was largely unheralded Myles Cole of Texas Tech who measured in at 6-5.5, 272 with enormous 36.5-inch arms.
Arguably, the best looking guy on the day, at least from a football perspective, was Houston OT Patrick Paul who measured in at 6-7, 333 with 36-inch plus arms. Similar story for Ethan Driskell of Marshall who tipped the scales at 6-8, 312 with 35-inch plus arms, while Javon Foster of Missouri came in at an impressive 6-5.5, 310 with 35-inch arms. Oregon State’s Taliese Fuaga measured in at 6-5.5, somewhat taller than expected; he also weighed 332 while his arms were okay at 33.5 inches. Among the other top-rated OTs in Mobile, Tyler Guyton came in at 6-7, 328 with 34-inch plus arms, while Kingsley Saumataia was 6-4.5, 330 with 34-inch arms. Maybe the one OT who disappointed a little was Jordan Morgan who was also just under 6-5 with less than 33-inch arms.
Among other players of note, WR Johnny Wilson looked more like a TE at 6-6, 237 with 35-inch arms, while S James Williams looked more like a LB at 6-4,5, 230 with 33-inch arms. CB Khyree Jackson also impressed with excellent length for corner as he measured in at 6-3.5, 205 with 32-inch plus arms. On the other hand, DT Michael Hall was even lighter than expected at just 280 pounds, while S Cole Bishop, CB Johnny Dixon and WR Jacob Cowing all had arms under 30-inches.Comment

I like Sedrick Van Pran over Powers-Johnson... but either would be fine with me. IMO, SVP is a 2nd rounder.Originally posted by electricgold View Post
I love Colson in the 3rd. I think a young LB is a must... to pair with Henly.
The other position I really like in the 3rd is DT. There are several I'd like to draft in the 3rd round.Protect the QB
