2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

[dmac_bolt]

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.

So what - those guys miss too.

i’d love him to improve and show I’m wrong. I am not wrong about what we have seen to date and its not enough. It wasnt only blocking, he showed nothing on an NFL field in preseason or regular season and everyone here if honest knows it. He was benched most weeks for a reason. He averaged 65 yards per season for a reason. He averaged a yard per carry less than other mediocre Charger backs for a reason. He never beat out anyone in our mediocre RB room, yes, for a reason.

You guys can keep believing, I’m rolling die on two new different RBs and he’s welcome to fight for a roster spot in camp for backup.

Which vet OC free agent?

Lol ok you may have a point there. Ok - I’m over drafting Turner (of Verse or …), drafting an OC in Rd2, and cutting Joey and using the cap savings to upgrade the pregame buffet table.

Spiller needs to given a fair shot, behind decent blocking and Roman's offense.

There quite easily could be untapped potential.

I am not speaking in superlatives, just common sense.

I am fine giving him a shot - I am speaking common sense too. I’ve seen every carry he’s had in LA.

I am too. Just saying with an improved OL, he will be better. And he showed promise in preseason and took one run 70 yards to the house.

I'm also down to draft 2 RBs, or draft one, sign one.

I want flavors of running backs.
A little Tiki Barber.
Some Stump Mitchell..
Mix in a heap of Turner the Burner.

I’m telling you, Corum is coming.

[ChargerTrader]

I’m telling you, Corum is coming.

I would be okay with that in round 3.

[beachcomber]

just about where he is slotted on many/most accounts,

In a day and age when a lot of combine prospects beg off of running the 40, or medical testing, or doing certain drills, or even ATTENDING the combine, Rome Odunze is getting high marks for his work ethic:

Sounds like a Burning Tiki Torch on a Stump...sounds like a Luau...
