2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

[SAY OW 55]

I was Raving about Peyton Wilson he looks like Luke Keuchkly.

I want Jeremiah Trotter to.

We might have to do our own 49ers draft Peyton Wilson and Jeremiah Trotter to.

Where we get Patrick Willis and Navarro Bowman. Well we have the coach.

[SAY OW 55]

People talking about DT first round. Humphreys

Just draft Kris Jenkins.

[SAY OW 55]

I think a solid draft defensively

is Kris Jenkins Peyton Wilson and Jerimiah Trotter Jr.

[SAY OW 55]

Don’t reach on running back we can get Jordan Shipley Clemson running back 4th round.

Can you imagine Jordan Shipley and Brock Bowers at tight end wow?????!!!!!!

[SAY OW 55]

I’m telling yall Chargers need to draft Will Shipley he’s another Christian Mcafrey. With yall rebuilding the trenches. Y’all will like this kid. He plays with so much burst.

[SAY OW 55]

Even more than Benson I like this kid.

And . . . . . . . . . brains?

WTF is 'pluckability'? The desire to fight everyone - all the time? And to run your mouth incessantly?

I translate that to a hand catcher. He says Nabahs,...I believe it was, is a 90% body catcher.

Pluckability is the ability of the wideout to endure repeated grabbing, or plucking by the cornerback, and not allow said plucking to disturb his concentration to catch the rock...
(I think...)

And? How is that different from my response to the individual who said Herbert needs a stud tight end?

Why don't you answer the question about Pipkins? You think he's a good enough starting right tackle to say we don't have a need there?

We need a starting TE because we don't have one. Stud would be nice but we definitely have a need there.

We don't need a stud ROT either to win a SB. We have a returning starter who is currently under contract.

So how does it make taking a ROT in the 1st better than taking a TE? There is a difference between need,
upgrade and want. Pipkins belongs in the upgrade class. It would be great to upgrade the position, but it is not a need since he started last year. Had some
good games and bad. We currently do not have a starting center or TE. We are pretty weak at CB as well. We also don't have a starting RB, but those three
positions do not warrant a top 10 pick for the players available much less top 5. Same thing applies to WR. We have starters there, but upgrades would be great.

I think the coaching staff will need this year to evaluate the guys currently on the roster. That includes the O line, DBs, LBs. DL. But we need to fill out the
roster this year with the missing pieces. Those being in no particular order Center, RB, TE, CB, maybe even DL which in my opinion would come before ROT.

What I like about this tape. He’s making plays on big money downs 3rd down 8

and those plays they run those are Harbaug h plays those short throws up the field. He’s an anchor. Lilly limit those long throws where Herbert has to throw the ball and hold the ball and get sacked.

This is exactly how Mahomes plays.

Yes.he has YAC. And so many of those YACs are underneath clear out route to get him the ball in space and running. Which is very Smart of Kirby at college level. Have the opponent try and tackle this kid. Have your solid blocking unit out in front and let him run fast and strong. But he is doing that vs college level. Vs 19-20 year old players who will never make NFL. Even the SEC half the starters each year don't make/stick in NFL except maybe the very top Alabama which they lost in Championship game and Bowers had 5 catches for 50yds and no TDs. Bowers best game of year was vs Birmingham. Not some other team. Birmingham. Think about it..those yards are full of empty calories.

If the Bolts had a decent O-line? Instant Run/Pass balance.
