2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

[wu-dai clan]

I have Nabers as my #1 WR. I have no trouble with him at #5.

Hey Trader !
Nabers cannot be covered.
I see a pure baller with rare hops, Change of Direction, Forty, Short Area Quickness...total package.

Theo Johnson having a good combine. He is the TE I like over guys like Sinnot, His size, measurables and combine results almost identical to Jimmy Graham. Canadian boy!

Yes, me too. I like him over Stover too

This is a Harbaugh guy. You don’t want to go over the middle when he’s out there because he will hurt you. (Hello Kelce)


58) Green Bay Packers: Beau Brade, S, Maryland

Beau Brade may be the most overlooked defensive back in the entire draft. At 6’2” and 209 pounds, Brade is a strong safety who can play at every level of defense.

His speed, versatility, and instincts are enough to invest in on their own, but his aggressive physicality when Brade hits defenders is brutish.

Seems he is sitting out. Maybe at his pro day. Seems many are sitting out. They blew thru that group doing 40s. Edwards didn't run but see him doing drills to name one.
They announced someone pulled a hammy but didn't catch the name

He is doing the drills. Guess he didnt want to do 40 until his pro day

[Boltjolt]

He is excelling at more than one explosion drill.
Plus receiver too.

He is one I haven't done any research on, zero.
He is a surprise for me. I guess he transfered because Allen was the guy at Wisconsin. Good choice to do so.

Disappointed Allen isn't running, guess we will have to wait till his pro day.

I'd be happy with that. Or Bowers. But prefer Nabers (or Harrison, but who I'm pretty sure Ariz is going to grab at #4). Not a fan of drafting an OT (Alt) at #5. Already have two 1st round OL picks. Drafting OL in the first round does not translate into championships. The Chiefs don't have a 1st round pick on their OL. In fact, their weakest link on the OL is the highest drafted (Jawaan Taylor) I think, a high 2nd rnd pick. There is going to some good value in the 2nd and 3rd round at OT in this draft, if they want to replace Pipkins.

Jawaan Taylor was a mid-1st round grade but slipped in the draft... same goes for Donovan Smith. I had them graded as 1st round picks. I also had Creed Humphrey graded as a late 1st-round pick.

Jim Harbaugh had 3 first-round OL on the roster in SF. OT Joe Staley, OT Anthony Davis and LG Mike Iupati.

The more i am perceiving from combine talk I dont think the Chargers are taking Alt for 2 reasons. He is not a Harbaugh type right tackle as he is more finesse than a mauler, and I think if they take a tackle it will be because they traded down to do it.

I also think Fashanu could excel at the combine and with more ceiling could challenge to be first tackle drafted.

Nabers would be just fine but I have to say Odunze is a stud and is very intriguing. He could light up combine if he performs. With his size, and beastley contested catching, if he breaks 4.4 look out.

My ideal scenario would be to trade down to #8 with the Falcons, draft Odunze there, and have an extra pick or picks to boot.

Perspective on Isaac Guerendo's 40-yard dash


Running 4.33 at 6-foot and 221 pounds is flat-out bonkers. If that time stands, he'll be the first RB in officially/verified recorded combine history -- starting in 1999 -- who ran 4.33 or better at 220-plus pounds. Man is a train.

(time is now offiical)

And none of those three went in the first round, the moral of the story being their value is more 2nd/3rd round. I don't think the Rams had any 1st round OL with the team they won the SB with. I have no problem drafting Slater where Telesco took him in 2021. He was the best player available at that spot. But I don't think Alt is the best player available at #5.

That would be amazing to get Odunze at 8 with extra picks
