Didn't see this posted anywhere and if it was my apologizes. Texas A&M linebacker Edgerrin Cooper is scheduled to visit the Chargers for a top 30 visit before the draft. I'll have to dig up some tape on him.

dumb like a fox.... dumb like taking MW over Ramczyk.... let alone the likes of a Mahomes or TJ Watt

and we all know better than to say so and so wideout looks like the best thing since sliced bread/the second coming of so and so receiver....

This WR class is absolutely special. If you cant see that i dont know what to tell you.

Here's a pretty interesting video of Trader Joe analyzing film of the 2023 Ravens draft picks:

The ones where Herber was getting exploded because he was trying to throw bombs to a WR who was used incorrectly. Those passes to Allen were mostly when they were in 3rd situations. Harbaugh will no doubt use QJ to his strengths and not make him into something he is not.

We didn't try to throw bombs very often last year. The problem: After Guyton and Williams went down we no longer had a deep threat. Herbert got hurt trying
to make a tackle, did not get exploded as you seem to suggest. The year before he did get clobbered in the ribs and guess what it was not because of Pipkins,
Fan favorite punching bag. The pressure came from the inside. People seem to believe that replacing Pipkins is magically going to turn us into a run first team.
He's also the problem to all our ills. Replacing him will resolve every offense issue we have, or not.

You only need to know one thing: Jay Flowers. Is he a RT or a WR?

[blueman]

Chris Jones plays DT. A blocking TE is not going to help block him. You need OGs that can disrupt him. A blocking TE will help in the run game
and help protect the QB on blitzes and against elite edge guys. You're talking about using Dissly as a blocking fullback, not a TE, which is fine.
But it has it's drawbacks. No safety is going to follow Dissly in the flat. That's a DE or LB. Pipkins doesn't need help on every play as you project.
He needs help on third and long against elite pass rushers. The easy fix is to have some help. Upgrading to a better OT may help or not.

It helps.

I just want a better RT cuz he sucks (separate from other players sucking…). Must be a dozen in this draft who could beat him out in TC, sans outside coaching help.

this board was so in love w/QJ, couldn't even get a word in edge wise.... the only guy that did (Riverwalk) got roundly rolled.

and obviously there is some talent w/the top four or so wideouts, and.... personally really like Fuaga, and do think there are some other very talented Olinemen early.

the query is: who wins you your SB.... WR or the Lines ??

[AK47]

Our RB is going to be ...
Kimani Vidal Troy State.
5'7" 220# 4.46
Excellent Pass Pro.
Lightning quick feet.
Reliable hands.
Plus plus Gap scheme back.
Extreme value @ #183.
Pair him up with Spiller
and/or Gus Edwards.

Woah. Watched his film. You found an Austin Eckler clone.

Is he the primary suckage guy? Ekeler fumbled and bumbled, QJ dropped passes, our OGs can't fight out of a paper bag much less plastic. The other WRs outside
of Allen couldn't get separation and took them 7 seconds to get open. Our other RBs also sucked. But you want to draft a ROT @5 because Pip sucks? All the grades
I've seen on the guy indicate he's a middle of the road OT. So we certainly can upgrade him. But with the WR position absolutely loaded this year when we don't have
a clear #1, and no real threat at receiving TE but you want a RT first and foremost? Is that about it?
