2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

I like him too but he doesn't have the best hands and I really wanted to see him run, and he didn't.

Pro day i suppose.

I can did go back and watch some vids on Guerendo.

Yes he has speed but he reminds me of Kelly. With a big hole he does damage but doesn't really break many tackles for being 220 and he doesn't really cut sharp, he kind of rounds them off which makes him less elusive.

Has the speed to get to the corner but he doesn't play to his speed like Wright does.

Not that interested.

IIRC, there was a RB out of TCU that was taken @5 with concerns of not having the best hands and he did ok...lol. I think his hands will improve and he wasn't expected to catch a lot at Wisconsin. There are some really good RBs in this class so not really worried about it, but I do like Allen.

LT hit the jugs hard his first offseason, made a huge difference, yup.

You want a Tackle? Trade back and get Fuaga/Latham/Mims....

You want defense? Trade back and get the #1 Edge or Corner or DT...

You want WR? Trade back and get Brian Thomas Jr, who is a top 10 pick getting overshadowed by a Historic big 3 in that group...

You want Brock Bowers? Trade back, and you probably still get him...lol

Seeing a pattern?

it just makes sense, there is top talent available at multiple areas of need plus you probably get another 2nd rounder out of it...

Will Shipley 4.46 at Combine pretty damn good.

[Lone Bolt]

So Im into the Bortolini tape...vs Illinois, Iowa...this kid is really good! Turns out the knock on him is his actual snapping of the ball...he is a versatile lineman who got pressed into the Center position this year...his shotgun snaps are like lobs...dont really zip back there...geez. we can fix that, I would think. As a blocker, he is very good, run and pass...good Senior Bowl, good Combine...I am giving him position 3 over Van Pran on the Centers list.

Its gonna be hard to outscore them by multiple scores without a good defense

Yep. It ain't gonna happen. Getting into a score-fest against KC is a poor strategy.
You have to play good defense and get KC to turn the ball over. All of their defeats this year came when KC scored less than 20 points. The Raiders iced the game by running the ball at the end... Mahommes sitting and watching.

Their losses came to the Bills (20-17), Raiders (20-14), Packers (27-19), Eagles (21-17), and Lions (21-20). No QB threw for over 300 yards. Only one threw for over 250 yards. Not a single WR had over 100 yards. The offensive play calling was very balanced, the QB's limited turnovers and the defenses played solid ball... even created turnovers. Almost every single loss included a turnover-on-downs by the opposing defense in the 4th quarter... followed by successful running game to ice the game.

That's how you beat the Chiefs... not trying to outscore them.

Somebody correct me:

Don't we have two 7th round picks already, from a trade or something?

And don’t we get a comp for Tranquill?

How many picks right now then, 8 or 9?

If I'm not mistaken we will be awarded a late 7th rounder for Tranquil, it's going to be one of the last 2-3 picks in the draft, so we have our original 7 picks plus the 1 comp, so eight total picks but that's bound to change once they start making moves...

[Leslie Grossman]

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

No chance unless KC is devastated with injuries

LT did well catching the ball at his combine. Allen not so much.

[Boltjolt]

Will Shipley 4.46 at Combine pretty damn good.

Shipley didn't run.
All he did was get measured and he weighed in at 206 at 5'11".
I don't recall him doing drills either but not sure.

[Boltnut]

As I recall they outscored they other guys.

Pretty easy to do when your #2 scoring defense is shutting down top-rated offenses.

Which is kinda a crazy because watching some of his film he has made some nice catches. Maybe he will do better at his pro day. Who knows.
