2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

[Xenos]

A hot take that I agree with! Though I would be fine with taking Bowers at 11.

Going to run the ball enough to keep the defense honest so they can let it rip and air that muthereffer out with Herbert

Thats what the hell he means!!!

Well that is my guess - need to run the ball to keep the defense honest to allow the passing game to explode. Plus you need a running game to kill the clock and move the chains

I also think he doesn't want to Nerf Mr. Piss missile with Stone hands Mccready and Mr. Dropsy Topsy while slow poke Joe gets manhandled by DBs all over the field.

If the Cardinals fuck up and leave MHJ there @#5... Hortiz will take him. Because he is a BPA kinda guy. Which is why I'm 99% sure that Arizona will take him @#4. Now, I know the gun-toting, Mardi Gras attending Nabers has gotten a lot of hype lately... but you also have to consider they've had visits with 4th/5th round WR prospects... Brendan Rice, Ainias Smith, and Anthony Gould. They've also told us that they will be looking at post draft cuts @WR.

It's not you and I that are trying to get inside Jim's head... he is being pretty upfront about his thinking.
We are a much better team with a trade-back. #11 is perfect for RT. The #23 is perfect for a defensive prospect... CB, DT, LB are huge needs. People are pretending that JP and QJ are bigger question marks than Pipkins. They are either so shiny-toy oriented... or they don't fully understand the Harbaugh/Roman philosophy.

Joshua Palmer (Day2) and QJ (Day1) are much better than any of the starters @RT, CB2, DT1, LB1.
Football is the ultimate team sport... people need to start thinking about the draft in those terms.

We are in the same zip code, for sure...

So what does that mean? That they are going to draft a dynamic receiver like Malike Nabers or Marvin Harrison Jr. or Romeo Oudunzie

or does that mean they are going to draft a dynamic tight end like Brock Bowers were they just annialiate the middle of the field.

Rumors got Brock Bowers going 10 to the Jets. I really want him. For all you trade back guys talking about we’ll still get Bowers no way we get him if we trade back.

[SAY OW 55]

I’m telling yall this shit right now.

With all the Rasheed Rice shit going on yall gonna make the Chiefs fuck around and draft Brock Bowers.

Rumors?!?! You mean the fans….
NYJ need an OT. Bad. Smith hasn’t played a full season in 3 years without going to IR. He’s 33. It’s why DAL let him walk. The NYJ are a dumb team. But I don’t know if they are so dumb thst they’d allow Rogers who just recovered from an Achilles tear at 40, go right back into the same situation knowing Smith will be gone by Thanksgiving and they are right back where they were last year. But if there’s a team dumb enough to do it, yeah, I could see the NYJ pass on a franchise LT and draft a shiny new toy.
Or the FO knows what happened last year and absolutely cannot let that happen again in a deep OT class and they do the responsible move and take an OT who will be good for 15 years.

I know what you are saying about the Jets needing OT as Moses and Smith aren't the youngest or best bets - that said, with A-A-Ron, I think they still go Bowers

You are right though, at 10, they should draft OT. And not saying that because if the Chargers trade back, Bowers might be there at 11.

NYJ don’t have a 2nd round pick either….
So they aren’t getting some OT later who legitimately could develop by mid season and be OK. They’ll get some “project” guy…

Now think of the project scrub guy they’ll have playing LT once Smith goes down, and we all know he will go down, cause of that left knee or the hamstring, and teams d coordinators overloading that side with blitzers and Rogers on his gimp Achilles at 40 years old having to scramble away and make plays…..
I could see the NYJ being just this stupid…

I can’t wait….

I kinda like the idea of having Bowers, Cooper, and Legette vs MHJ/Nabers,/Odunze and Cooper. I think the team is much better with the 1st option vs the 2nd option, IMHO.

This is just conjecture, but i think Bowers is their target all along. It’s just what is needed in the Harbaugh offensive scheme.

KC just won back go back SB’s after trading away their elite WR. They had a bunch of average guys at WR.
So who was the pass catching “engine” of that offense? Kelce.

I would love to get Bowers - my favorite player in the draft. But, I just understand at 5 - especially if 4 QBs go - that it should be MHJr
and at 11 - I doubt he gets by the Jets

But if he gets by the Jets - take him!

That's why I said, IMHO. It's just that my opinion.
