2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

They could sign him for the league minimum since Denver is paying the rest.

I could see Russell Wilson not signing until after the draft actually

If that's the way you want to look at it

Our last 5 games we were playing a 2nd and 3rd string OC....the OL was awful. Didn't have even one 10+ run during that time except from Stick.

NONE of our RBs averaged even 3 YPC over those 5 games. Ekeler was the best at 2.6. Both Kelly and Spiller under 2 YPC.

Spiller got 25 of his 37 carries if the year during those 5 games. 16 of them against the Raiders in that 63-21 showing and he averaged 3.1 YPC. Ekeler 1.8 and signaling first downs while getting blown out lol.

I'm not betting anything on Spiller but he is under contract still. He won't start at all but he will be here and likely show better with a better OL.

Ekeler comparisons from 2023 isn't persuading me of anything. cherry picking certain games or short intervals is just playing games. He gained 137 yards over 2 years with a career avg 2.5 ypc. He is what his record says he is. Sure, let him come to camp. He is not my strategy as I sit here in March 2024.

When Anderson left for the NFL draft in January, he pulled Turner aside and told him pointedly, "Bro, it's your defense."

Anderson, drafted No. 3 overall, said he told Saban the same thing, stressing that the outside linebackers set the tone.

"[Turner] can be one of the best to come through Alabama," Anderson told ESPN. "He would always say, 'Bro, I wanna do what you do.' And I always told him, 'Do better than what I did.' And I honestly believe he can do that, 100 percent."

That includes surpassing Anderson's 17.5 sacks and 34 tackles for loss as a sophomore, he said.

"I truly believe that," Anderson said. "I know the type of hard work he puts in. I know his mentality. I know the grit and the love that he has for the game, that he can go out there and do all those things."

I'd rather overdraft Turner (or Verse or whoever they grade out as top edge), cut Joey and spend that money on a vet OC (with change left over for another 1 or 2 players) than draft Alt and still have nothing solved at either edge or at OC.

Well ok then. Our OL was at it's worse in those games and that's when he played the most....and with Easton Stick who scared exactly nobody with second tier recievers. But fine, have it your way

We could too as an experienced backup. Fuck you Denver.

Outstanding. That’s how you build on an idea. Yes and… is better than No, but…

Increasingly I'm seeing predictions that Marvin Harrison Jr. falls to the Chargers at #5. Opinion is growing that the first four players chosen will be QBs, with JJ McCarthy going at #4. If MHII is available at #5, is it a no-brainer Harbaugh will take him there, he would be the obvious best player available? Do we all agree on this?

Yes!

You have to take him if he is there

[CanadianBoltFan]

What’d we get?

It did not actually say, which was kind of lame

Prior to the 2022 Draft
Spiller was #33 on Jeremiah's Top 50.
Zierlein commented that 2020 video
with good blocking
showed that Spiller has plenty of talent.

I'm totally down for that... I'm sure Wilson would be too.

[Critty]

Don't look too long and get it wrong.
Joe Alt is the #1 OT prospect in the draft.

Which vet OC free agent?
