2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

[Boltjolt]

1. Would you trade down or draft MHJ if he's available at #5?

2. What about Malik Nabers or Brock Bowers, are either worth the #5 pick or do you believe there is more value in trading down?

3. Who would trade up with us, which team will want to move up to draft which QB?

4. In trading down, would you prioritize picks in this draft, even if they are a round lower than you could get for next year's draft?

For this offense, Bowers imo is the best pick for us. So if the Vikes want to trade with us to 11 i think id do it but then we take the chance of losing Bowers to the Jets imo. I just dont think a WR is what Hortiz will do at 5....but i dare to be wrong.

This RW is deep and we can get a good one later. Been say this for months now. I know Hortiz may not follow the Ravens way to a T but a top WR hasnt been Harbaughs way either.

Do i think MHJ wil be a good player? Sure but i think AZ is nuts to miss out on him. Their recievers arent as good as ours right now and Murray needs weapons so he dont have to run and get hurt again. He isnt a big dude.

And NO, in trading down if i can get a early second, ill take that everytime over two 3rds. We can get a good player at #35 OR we can trade one of the seconds down a little, still be in round 2 and get an extra pick, but it will likely be a 4th,... and the bottom line will be we have 2 seconds. What if there is a QB at 37 and a team wants to trade up from say 44, 47? Which is The Turds and Giants. Rattler may be there or Penix who isnt getting high grades. Move down 7 spots, probably get a 4th. Doubt we can land a 3rd ..but never know. Its a QB.

Or use those picks 35 and 37. Get good players....which could, get us a DT, CB, or still get the RT.

Makes sense and i dont know why some pundits think they would. NE needs a QB bad, why take a chance and not get one of the top 3? I dont see any way they trade with Minnesota.

That's conventional thinking. Top 3 guys taken will be QBs. But to what teams? If NE doesn't like the #3 QB they will trade down. It's a long shot but
it could happen. Then there's Arizona who the GM says doesn't mind trading down. We can still trade down since the top WRs will be there. But
the trade may not look as lucrative.

Odds are we trade with the Vikings. But there's still a long ways to go.

I've been saying if the Chargers end up with #11 and #23 they need to trade down that #23 as many times as they can to pick up 2nd and 3rd round picks. I'm not one for trading down like that but this draft is loaded with 2nd and 3rd round talent.

That Arizona GN did us the worst thing saying Cards are open to trade 4th pick...

Only if you consider Marvin Harrison Jr sitting there a bad thing

They want QB less team tontrade with them, potential trade would not be for MHJ.

We want somone to give us (eg Vikes) their picks. We do not want anyone doing business with Cards.

I know but if the Cards are the team the Vikings trade with, MHJ is our consolation prize

Taking WR with 5th pick when we have multiple holes on a roster is flashy but not a smart move.

So if there is no trade down and we have to pick at 5 you want a non flashy tackle over the player many feel is the best player in this draft that could be an all pro receiving weapon for Herbert for years to come, at the weakest position on this roster?

Why settle for two 3rds when i can get a 2nd and pick 31 spots sooner? Maybe i trade that down 5 spots or so and get another third and still stay in the second. Who knows but ill take a early second over two 3rds anytime.

Because a pick at 66 and 71 this year will feel like a picks at 50 and 55 in other draft years.

Lol

All this discussion is about Cards not helping us when they announced they open for business. Not sure where you got that I would take OL to WR if we stay at 5 it is my wife's way of conclusion xD

If there is no trade it would be receiver but trade down is THE only right way for this team.

A team could go up to four for MH rather than a QB.
A team could move up to 5 for a QB or MH/Nabers.
MH and Nabers likely go anywhere between 4-6.
My biggest surprise will be if Alt or Udenze go top 6, and I don’t think it’s a long shot.
Can’t recall a draft like this in the top ten.
