I like the trade down scenarios even if I’m uncertain about the position picked.

I like the trade down scenarios even if I’m uncertain about the position picked.

So from 5 to 8 should be worth at minimum a 3 and a 4 plus a 2025 pick -- if not a 2nd and a 2025 pick

MN at 11 is tricky as they do not have a 3rd round pick - and a 4th isn't enough - so maybe a future pick in 2025. Or something like MN gives there second and the Chargers flip back a 4th

I would try to trade down as many times as possible all the way out of the first round. As long as you are getting back good value, 2nd or 3rd round picks in 2024 or 2025.

I think the quality is good in those rounds and the team needs a lot of fresh young players at so many positions. It’s possible to turn the #5 pick into 4 or 5 players, if there are trading partners.

There is a very good chance that the Giants could trade up one spot with the Chargers and offer up one of their 2nd rnd picks. If the Giants are after a QB there could be 3 QBs on the board when the Chargers pick. This would ensure the Giants get the QB they want and not have to worry about the Falcons jumping ahead of them.

Also, Chargers could then trade back with the Falcons after they traded back with the Giants. After a double trade back, I would make a pick @ 8 and move on. @ 8 Chargers will have a chance to get the player they want and have some extra picks in the top 100 and maybe a couple picks in 2025. My pick at #8 would be Bowers but that is just me.

Yeah....No. Lets not do that. And really, what GM has ever done that from 5? lol
Its fun on a simulator but not realistic.

Im all over the 3. Bowers...Nabers....Rome. But the fit? With Harbaugh? And what i expect with Roman? If i had to put money on it...i think he is high on the board. And yes i too would like to move back and get him...but if i wanted him that bad? He has Aiyuks hands and routes...he has Deebos YAC...and blasts guys like Henry....and does everything Kittle does. You put all those players names together? You get Doubletake.

Lol I meant you’re pulling ME back on the BB. I was in the front seat, then started drifting towards the sizzling sweet smell from my Naber’s grill. Now im coming back home. Bowers is a much bigger need

Starting to think folks around here are obsessed with trading back (back, back)

I would take a blue chip player and a couple extra picks vs trading out of the first round. I can't see the Chargers going from #5 to out of the first round. I don't think any team has ever done that before.

That is definitely the belief among the mock draft experts, and this forum has certainly run with it. There are other interesting prospects, such as Jaheim Bell and Erick All (although it's doubtful that Harbaugh will draft him after he transferred from Michigan to Iowa, and his father didn't speak highly of Harbaugh). We shall see.

I meant the draft is not void of other TEs, man I made a lot of typos yesterday - f’ing puppy sitting, the cute lil dude is a puppy asshole lol.

Bell is a good receiving weapon but don’t know he’s very good at blocking. Harbaugh 12 sets need TEs that can block in the run game. It’s one of the primary butters on his bread.

Reverse for All - he’s almost an extra lineman but he’s very plodding and predictable as a receiver, he can grind out some under routs with body positioning like a power forward, but he’s not gonna be explosive at all. huge delta from Bowers and the couple I mentioned and him - or so I think. Wtf do I know eh?

Bowers is the complete package - I still think he’s generational perennial pro bowl and Herbie’s BFF
Sanders is a giant man-boy out there vs college kids. Can improve on blocking but he’s got the frame and could do it. Fast in routes for a TE.
Stover is your prototype Best B10 TE - not the the most explosive receiver threat but better than average and a steady extension of the OL.
Sinnot looks like the real sleeper in the draft for early Day3 steal. Underappreciated, he’s stout and strong inline, I saw a clip of him pulling around and blasting two different defenders out of the same play. and he is a better receiving weapon than recognized. Great hands too, huge target, he could be a good player.

Those are my 4 in order. We REALLY need a TE who can block AND is a threat downfield for Harbaugh’s tough football team vision.

How dare you!

There is a perennial trade-back crowd in our midst, they chant it every year. I’m waiting for one to emerge and present the full Monty - trade all picks to load up on 2025!

How dare you!

Sorry, I was really hungry
