2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

[Lone Bolt]

Still high on Frazier and JPJ...but seeing some decent OC prospects that can be had later...Bortolini, Limmer, Nugent...

[powderblueboy]

Mims would be a great pick imo ..... can't trade too far back.
Injury history might mitigate my interest.

Get him, a big time receiver in the top of the 2nd, a stud RB and the Chargers will be rolling on offense.

They'll need an OC and I don't think Zach Frazier is it. His 40 time and short shuttle just confirms to me how lost he is in space at the 2nd level.

Still maybe have a 2nd /3rd to get defensive help.

[powderblueboy]

I expect C is the first OL pick. Late 1st or early 2nd. If we don't take a BPA WR or TE at 5, it's because we traded down. This is a deep draft for RTs.

there has to be someone there worth drafting.

[Lone Bolt]

The OT class is freakish...I figure if we want one, we should just take one in the first, but...a couple really good prospects are liable to slip to us at 37. Kingsley Suamataia is a guy I was mocking to us weeks ago...he had a nice combine.

They came to life in the playoffs.
Sandbaggers.

Did they? Scored 19 in regulation in the Super Bowl and 17 in the AFCCG

I’m not hanging onto overpriced and/or injury prone vets to be a little better right away when we could start building a better 2025 team and beyond now.
If they do that and still make the playoffs, great.

I'll support Hortiz / Harbaugh no matter how they win the AFCW in 2024.

Seems like there's increased interest in J.J. McCarthy and Bo Nix, but not so much Michael Penix.

The more popular that this draft class of QBs gets? The more valuable that #5 overall pick is.

Any high quality O-lineman that slips into the 2nd round HAS to be considered, if O-line wasn't taken in the 1st. The mood in this forum seems to be that Center is the most likely target of the club's current second round selection.

[MagicMamba88]

Yes. We need DL and ILB and OC badly. Strength in the middle. Sorely lacking on this team

its been lacking for almost two decades

As I recall they outscored they other guys.

Here's something interesting about the Bears and Justin Fields:

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler says the sources he spoke with at the combine estimated the Bears could get a Day 2 pick for QB Justin Fields. He added Chicago hasn’t shown its hand yet for its plans at the position but it’s believed they have a loose deadline of trying to trade Fields by the start of free agency.

• Fowler lists the Falcons, Raiders, Vikings and Steelers as teams on the radar for a Fields trade. He notes there’s plenty of smoke around Atlanta but Fields isn’t believed to be their top choice.
• Adam Jahns of The Athletic names the Falcons, Broncos, Raiders, Patriots, and Steelers as teams to keep an eye on as potential trade options for Fields.
• Regarding the Falcons, Jahns writes Fields’ arm strength will be appealing to OC Zac Robinson.
• Jahns doesn’t expect the Broncos to give up a lot of draft capital in exchange for Fields, given he’s had ball-security issues similar to Russell Wilson last season.
• As for Las Vegas, Jahns feels the Raiders are “very unlikely” to pursue Fields because new OC Luke Getsy was fired from Chicago after working with the quarterback.
• Although New England may be likely to select a quarterback at No. 3 overall, Jahns could see them opting to draft Ohio State WR Marvin Harrison Jr. and trade for Fields.

1. That's always the case.
2. They can only take them one at a time, so -
3. That statement is meaningless.

So, the more chances you get to fill the roster with good players the better.
