2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

I'm starting to have CB vibes again... Losing Davis puts a big hole in the secondary that already had big holes. WR is not a lock for the 1st pick... Trade down for a CB might be better.

Okay, so would it be fair to say we'll be mostly a ground and pound O, with a few passes to keep the opposing D from stacking the box?

A well-balanced team that is much more physical on both sides of the ball than it has been in years. If that means Herbert needs to throw it 18 times to win a big game (the way J.J. McCarthy did in the National Championship victory), that's what it will be. If that means Herbert will have to throw it 42 times (as Alex Smith did in a 2011 playoff win over the Saints), that's what it will be. The running game will definitely have a bigger impact under Harbaugh than it did under Staley, though.

I'm starting to have Kool Aid vibes again... Losing Davis puts a big hole in the secondary that already had big holes.

I would rather have Renardo Green personally.

In regulation with the Chiefs down by 3 Kelce caught a 22 yards pass to set up the tying FG. That was a 3 and 7 play. Without that play the Chiefs may lose the
game. Kelce was top receiver for KC on that day.

I don't remember the play you are referring to. The one that I remember was Purdy was blitzed and had to throw the ball away. That came from a safely blitz on the
right side. Not disputing your play. But what does that have to do with Kelce?

You said a tight end won this past Super Bowl. The Chiefs don't win this past Super Bowl without Spencer Burford's mistake. And the Super Bowl blowout loss to the Bucs showed (a game in which Kelce caught 10 passes for 133 yards) they don't win without drafting center Creed Humphrey and guard Trey Smith and signing guard Joe Thuney and right tackle Jawaan Taylor to $80 million deals. Nor do they win without drafting Trent McDuffie or L'Jarius Sneed, whose forced fumble on Zay Flowers was the biggest play in the AFC Championship Game.

I don't know how you don't remember the Spencer Burford play. It was talked about for days after the Super Bowl, in particular because his fellow offensive lineman criticized him on X.

I changed my post, I want us to trade down for a top CB or wait and hope Kool Aid falls to the second round. But at the same time I want a Center in round 2.

sounds like every SB is different and there is no particular overwhelming single decisive factor. I would have thought that should be obvious to the entire TPB nation but a hundred pages on 4 or 5 threads seems tp imply its not.

The quest for "The One Way" marches forward, undeterred, in search of supporting data points for whichever way that is ...

Hopefully we will have 2 2nd rnd pick at a minimum. I like Hunter Nourzad from Penn State. He can be had in the later rounds. He has played pretty much every spot on the oline and was the Center for Penn State last year. He had a really good showing at the Shrine Bowl.

Yep, agree. You TAKE what the opposing D gives you. You make IN-GAME ADJUSTMENTS, something Staley was horribly deficient at doing...

So, if we get both #11 and #26, maybe trade down from the latter pick for two more picks...

this.

McConkey would be my alternate to Pearsall, I want a WR that gets open in 2-3 quick steps, even if a DB can run with him (which will be hard), is already too late.

Pearsall is good though, not a bad pick I doubt the staff is blabbing to a reporter who they will target. Liars Month.

Pearsall is good, but top of the 2nd round at 37 is too high. Rather look at WRs like McConkey, Legette, Franklin, etc

Here is another WR. This draft is loaded with them. Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon.

Odunze has absolutely everything you could want in a receiver, except elite speed. I love Nabers, but would NOT be disappointed in the least to come away from the draft with Odunze.

I love Odunze and he is not slow. 4.45 for a 6 foot 3 218 pounder is fine. More importantly he was fast and flawless in the gauntlet drill on perfect line. This guy can do it all including block which this coaching staff love
