2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

[Lone Bolt]

I didnt count but he seemed to drop as many/more than any TE today. tough day for the young man, I’m not going to say its representative of his prospects. He ran slow too, 4.7’s i think.

It was interesting watching DB pass defense drills, which ones caught with their hands and which caught with their arms. Definitely a reason some of them aren’t WRs lol.

Still watching the recording as I type...he is dropping a few...but made other catches look easy, including his 2 ball takedown in the gauntlet...again, late rounder...but his career tape catching and running is very good.

Tip is dropping a few underhanded...still drooling over him as a blocking TE/FB...

Theo Johnson is a project. Good speed but he isn't much as a blocker and isn't anything special. Agree Reiman and Barner are more promising. Wouldn't doubt JH likes Barner here. Like Reimans size and he moves well.

I have no doubt in my mind that Harbaugh and this offensive coaching staff would have Theo Johnson one of the better blocking TEs after year 1. I would be very happy is Johnson and Reiman where drafted by the Chargers. Or one of them and AJ Barner. See what the market if for Noah Fant and maybe make a play for him in free agency.

These interviews man. Dude doesn’t believe in space. I’d take him off my board.

[SAY OW 55]

The interviews are most important it tells a lot about these guys.

He went to the top of mine!

Cole Bishop was intriguing, running and drills...but after he nailed the gauntlet, he pulled up lame...hope the kid is alright...smart leader, and very good football player who surprised with his athletic testing.

Kris Abrams Draine * slot guy, battles, flips his hips, feet are good, overall a solid
Terrion Arnold * flips hips well, play speed better than straight line, has talent, will translate
Willie Drew * he sux (well, so much for that.... thought I had somethin' on the line there)
Renardo Green * slow feet, struggles to turn, no twitch, better short area, needs to cover more ground
Daequan Hardy * pure slot guy, good play speed, quick feet, better straight line, slower in short area, knees are not ideal, plays too high
Cam Hart * no issues really, but didn't blow anyone away
DJ James * moves well, quick feet, no real complaints
Elijah James * feet need to cover more ground, has got something to him
Jarrian Jones * much better when he's in a spot and can change in a zone
Kalen King * not a corner, will never stick to peoples, back bender, can't get ass down, slow
Kamari Lassiter * press guy all day, hips are fine, not blazing feet, better football player than track star
Max Melton * very smooth, easy going back, no problem, faster than quick, struggles to slow down
Quinyon Mitchell * unbelievable 40, phenomenal hip movement, basically an on field instruction manual
Josh Newton * pretty quick feet, solid base, can do it in short areas, really good short area changing direction, good football player
Andru Phillips * athlete traits are there
Nehemiah Pritchett * overall really solid
Mike Sainristil * slot guy, tough w/great ball skills, nice knee bend, really good, like the base
Chau Smith Wade * scared to like him.... confused
Josh Wallace * looks like an LB

[beachcomber]

Daijahn Anthony * intense guy, solid play speed
Cole Bishop * underrated athlete, movement skills all there
Javon Bullard * good w/the feet, better gear than you think, can stop 'n start, and sink his hips
Jaylon Carlies * looks like an LB
Kamren Kichens * not a disaster, not bad on back pedal, has ball skills, better in short area than time may indicate, pretty good moving around
Tyler Nubin * doesn't look fast going to get ball, not impressed, not a disaster moving, but not a game changer, not fast
Andre' Sam * flips ok, decent feet/play speed/overall workout, movement skills are mostly there, dips and goes well
Jaylin Simpson * likes him but far from elite
Tykee Smith * best lower half base, going backward is so comfortable, opens and goes no problem, hands were great
Sione Vaki * not interested, moves alright, an athlete, but not sure he's an NFL football player, decent on start/stops, changing direction/moving w/o hesitation was on point, good hands, might be an RB
Evan Williams * feet aren't bad, overall pretty good, tackled well in college, short area feet are more than fine
James Williams * looks like an LB, feet are just not DB like, slow

[powderblueboy]

Sanders just ran 4.71 and 4.69 at Combine

That might push him back into the 3rd round.

He has length and catches everything in traffic, smooth mover and pass catcher .... I wouldn't mind him there.

[beachcomber]

AJ Barner * couldn't move sled to save his life, he sux, stinky route runner
Jaheim Bell * not a real TE, never going to be inline, good hands, decent route runner
Devin Culp * looks the part, but zero production, didn't finish routes well, more speed/sizzle than results, doesn't look like a TE
Dallin Holker * wasn't super blown away, but he did his part, underwhelming, slow
Theo Johnson * pretty good moving the sled, gets job done, but not blowing anyone away, is he actually good ??
Tanner McLachlan * depth, avg, not toolsy
Tip Reiman * killed the sled drill, damn good blocker, no issues catching the ball, built like small tackle, big thick body, really bad once routes started
Ben Sinnott * does alotta good things, blocked damn well, hockey background, like his feet, got some giddy up to him, well rounded
Brevyn Spann Ford * looks like a fridge, slow, moved the sled, but knew he could block
Cade Stover * tough and can block, destroyed the sled w/ease, doesn't have crazy burst, no issues catching ball, will help on STs and the occasional LB duties
Jared Wiley * not egregious blocking, held his own there, looks enormous, movement skills pretty good, might have something to him
Ja'Tavion Sanders * moved the sled well blocking, play speed catching the ball better than straight line speed, has extra juice when he cuts, looks way better on field than straight line running, really good in drills, no drop issues, smooth running route tree

Stover, Bell and Johnson all rated ahead of Sinnott
