2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

[Jack Burton]

He was also asked about Salyer and his role. Said he was versatile. Makes me think we’re getting competition for him at RG instead of RT for Pipkins.

That could be true too!!!
Good point.
Fuaga then would be my guess.

[Jack Burton]

I would not be disappointed if the team stays at 5 and gets MHJr as QBs went top 4 picks

Suddenly the WR room feels a whole lot better with MH2, Palmer and QJ…
Thats a really nice starting 3, and it opens up QJ into the slot to do damage…

Harbaugh keeps playing up J.J. McCarthy. I have a theory, he wants to push McCarthy up into top 5 status so that a team will trade up to get him, either with the Cardinals so that MHJ drops to the Chargers at #5, or with the Chargers because he wants to move down. Am I crazy?

No, you're not crazy. Well, at least not because of this.

I don’t think JJ needs his help anymore cause MIN sure seems to be angling to move up and get him…

Albert Breer last week said the top 3 teams told MIN emphatically “NO” to a trade….

Mayo just said the Pats are open to a trade. Ditto the Arizona Cards. Doesn't guarantee it happens but they are listening, as are the Chargers.

He didn't say anything we didn't already know. Salyer played LT and OG, while switching from the left side to the right. We didn't see him play RT and
some of us are scratching our heads, why not?

Both things could be true.

Example:
Minnesota only offered #11 and #25.
Top-3 teams said, "no". They want more.
Then Minnesota said, "no".

Of course. It’s early. They could be trying to bait them into a bigger trade.

I don't think McCarthy's agent is a bigger advocate. Mr. Jim Harbaugh is showing some incredible loyalty and gratitude to the guy who helped deliver a National Championship. Does it increase the value of the Chargers draft pick? Yes it does. Win win

Arizona and LAC aren’t taking QB’s so it doesn’t make sense to trade with Arizona versus Chargers. Arizona would be more costly for the same result.

And Pats would be foolish to not stay put and get one of the top 3 franchise QB’s. I find it hard to believe they would trade.

I hope it’s the Chargers that get the trade offer. Quantity in the first 2-3 rounds is more important than quality in this team that has so many needs.

For example, I would rather have one of the top OT’s and WR’s than the very best at either position.

I think you are right right. I believe Harbaugh is being truly genuine, but in being genuine he's helping his cause in the draft.
