2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

[Chargers8491]

Steve Smith didn't like him much at all.

Really? why not?

If you want a receiver to pair with QJ and replace MW look at Johnny Wilson WR, FSU. Dude is 6'7, 240 lbs and runs a 4.5 40. He would be a good fit in this offense and could be drafted in the 3rd or 4th round.

My two guys in the third are...

Burton

Tez Walker

[Chargers8491]

From what we are learning about how Harbaugh intends to the build the offense, Brock Bowers is not his kind of tight end? Tell me I'm wrong. Bowers is a WR in a somewhat larger body. But nobody talks about him as a good blocking TE, he is only 230 lbs.

Actually, he is perfect TE for Harbaughs offense. Is he the best blocking TE? No, but he can hold his own and he's not a liability. Harbaugh usually has one of his TE's in motion so if the TE is asked to block, they have a running start. He will be used much like Kelce. He is not in on every play especially if they are running. Although I could see Bowers in on running plays because he can block.

He can do a lot of things, but so can Malik Nabers, and probably a little better. Harbaugh I believe looks at TEs as blockers, and that's not going to be Bowers' strength. I still think Bowers downed 10lbs of water before he was weighed at the combine. He's listed at 230 here. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb...-bowers-1.html

Harbaugh tried to recruit Bowers to come to Michigan so I think he knows the value. Also, Michigan has a very good pass catching TE right now, Loveland, that he will probably be a top TE pick when he comes out

You're wrong. And he weighs over 240lbs. So strike 2.

Nabers can't line up in the backfield or at FB. But if they draft Nabers, he is a good player. Depends where we pick. If we go to 11, I can see Bowers , Odunze, OT. I can see Odunze over Nabers ,. ..either way, good players.

And that link is a college stats link. Those weigh ins may be from 2 years ago for all we know. Georgia website had him 240.
What I do know is he weighed 243 last month. Ben Herbert will get him to 245-250

Said something to the effect of....somebody or Wilson said he was a dog....Smith said he may be in life but he isn't on the football field. 🤷

I haven't watched much of him and then stopped after that, as there are others I like.

[Boltgang74]

I know Smith loves WR AD Mitchell in this draft.

[Velo]

Watching highlights of Caleb Williams, what impressed me were WRs Brenden son of Jerry and Tahj Washington. I wouldn't complain if they drafted nothing but WRs in this draft.

[SAY OW 55]

I like Burton. And I like Tez Walker.

Roman Wilson of Michigan said that MHJ likes to act gangsta but he isn't tough on the field. Pretty bold statement. All these WRs aren't gonna hit.

This is what I like about TPB. We have guys who would draft nothing WRs and guys who would draft nothing but OL and everything g in between
