2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

Surtain is about ready for a top CB expensive contract right?

He is also one of the best players in football.

I really doubt any AFC West team is moving up for a QB in this draft. Donkos simply cannot afford to do that. They don’t even have a 2nd and they are paying for another teams starting QB. I just highly doubt they do any more bold moves. I bet the Donkos trade down and recoup that 2nd and draft Nix around 25. I think Penix falls to the 2nd. He’s old, injury riddled and has a long wind up throwing motion. I just am not seeing it unless MIN doesn’t get the trade they want and they are stuck with him at 23.

With the draft capital that the Broncos have, it could take a 1st in 2025 and 2026.

I'm personally sold on JJ McCarthy
don't let Denver get him if we can help it.

I'd be swayed if they include Surtain in the deal. Not much could top that.

I didn't watch all the games. But in the ones I did watch Salyer did fine at LT without much help. Pipkins didn't so well against the elite pass rushers, but then again we failed to give him help. Our TEs were poor blockers and the RBs didn't help much either. If we had more help inside we could have tried Sayler at RT. Maybe that's what Harbaugh meant.

My memory as well. Salyer looked good sans help.

WR Corley runs well; RB Gore doesn’t in pro day update … While we wait for the much-anticipated throwing sessions of QBs jayden Daniels and Darke Maye later this week, there a couple of noteworthy updates from today’s pro day schedule. On the one hand, all but one NFL team was at the Western Kentucky pro day where WR Malachi Corley, who currently appears to be a legit mid-to-late second round option, was the main draw. In fact, a total of 9 teams had their WR coach at the WKU pro day, including Pittsburgh which also sent their director of college scouting (Dan Colbert) to the workout. Corley, who didn’t workout at the combine because it is believed of Covid symptoms, reportedly ran the 40 in the mid-to-high 4.4 range, while he posted a 36-inch vertical as well as a time of 4.26 seconds in the 3-cone drill. On the other hand, Southern Miss RB Frank Gore had a somewhat disappointing outing. Running at under 200 pounds, Gore clocked a 4.58 40, which isn’t terrible, but his leaps of 29-inches in the vertical and 9-3 in the LJ would have been the lowest of any at the position at the combine.

I would love those picks. I think there's a good chance both end up in the top 5.

Yep, and second contracts for top CB's don't come cheap...I don't think it's a deal Trader Joe would make...

That would be classic. Love to see it, even if it's a three team deal that sends Surtain to the third team, while the Chargers get a boatload of the third team's draft capital. I just want to see the Broncos painfully mortgage themselves to get their new QB.

Keep the QB hype rolling:

Keep the QB hype rolling:

I watched JJ McCarthy two times:
the first time I was unimpressed, noticing his less than elite arm strength and lack of accuracy on deep balls;
a 2nd time, when he was climbing boards, I looked again, noticing his foot movement, pocket awareness, ability to spot people on the run, etc ..... they were all first rate.

I think the first viewpoint clouded the typical media draft experts viewpoint.
I think the interest is for real and warranted.
