2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

[CivilBolt]

The guy I'm hoping they don't draft is Penis, now that guy is going to be huge, he's like Tua but with a way bigger arm...

I’m not sure if the misspelling was intentional but it made me LOL

Did you happen to listen to the TE/Running game Coordinator Coach Bischoff's press conference? It's a great listen. He goes into great depth of his thoughts on both Dissly and Hurst as well as the TE room overall. I think you are tremendously underselling their thoughts on Hurst. I know I honestly didn't expect that they see Hurst as Coach described him.
If they see Hurst like that then in order to draft Bowers, they would have to believe he's a Gold Jacket guy day #1.

He was signed to 1 year. Sure Hurst can be a good player and has been but he can also be a mentor. And will be whether we draft Bowers or not.

I absolutely do not think this means Bowers is off the table. We will draft a OC at some point as well. Some think 2nd round, some think 4th round. Seen some still think we pick JPJ in round 1 if we get pick 23.

I think we would draft Bowers before a WR at 5 or 11. Just do.

TE and OL and WR and RB are all through this draft, good ones early and late. No worries, JH2 are on it.

Impactful RBs are literally 4 rounds deep this year.

fucking autocorrect, I know I typed Penix...

I honestly don't know what to expect from the Hurst signing, the type of head injury he sustained is enough to give me pause as to whether or not he will even continue to play going forward, I'm wondering if he's even on the final 53 man roster at this point, like I said, I don't know what to expect, if he turns out to be more than that it would be a really nice boost for the Chargers...

Hell, I did my mock with a trade down with the Cards after they traded down with the Vikings. Now I think that is a 1% chance of happening. I don't think they have any intention of moving off of 4 if the rumors are true they are asking for 3 first rounders to trade back.

Why would the rumor not be true?

I happen to think Parham is an underrated blocker, I guess we see that differently, Bowers, Hurst, Disney, and Parham sounds pretty good to me, who am I forgetting? you said 5 but I only see 4 in that scenario...

Parham does not block to Harbaugh standards, not even close. you've grown used to seeing and then accepting TEs that don't block well from watching the Chargers too long.

you might be right, it's been a while since we've had an honest to god blocking TE, after Manumaleuna who have been the better blocking TEs on the team? Gates was barely passable as a blocker but like Kelsey that wasn't really his role...

[powderblueboy]

Maybe TT was his OWN bad informant...remember, TT attended John Carroll University, a Catholic school just down the road from Notre Dame, the ultimate Catholic school...I'm guessing he's had a soft spot for Golden Domers from way back...

Could be .... but Notre Dame was only a 2 hour drive away from Indiannapolis, where Telesco cut his teeth.
You could say that the same is true about Ohio State, but Telesco also drafted 3 Buckeyes.

Once established in Southern Ca., Domers were replaced with USC / UCLA guys .

Zero players from Alabama, after Fluker.

So that claim that Hortiz said Nabers was the best receiver he'd ever scouted turned out to be bullshit?

they are going to keep it under wraps, whatever their plan is they have done a good job of adding to the roster in a way that doesn't make any pick too obvious and the one that seems really obvious is WR and that they might use that as a diversion considering how deep the WR group is this year...

Did you ever walk up to a group of gals (or guys - not judging you here), and after a short chat you decided to hit on the second best looking one because you could tell in just a few minutes that she would be way more fun and the "hottest" one would be a complete PITA?

I broke up with the 3 hottest gals I ever dated, current Mrs DMAC excluded of course, because they were PITAs.

Or not - who knows: Maybe its just liars month, maybe they see Odunze as a better team fit and addition even if Nabers is a better "receiver" (aka the second prettiest girl scenario), maybe they're trying to reverse-juju on AZ to get them to take Nabers instead of MHJ, ... or maybe they aren't taking any receiver at all at 5 and are just trying to fluff up the value of that pick5 for trade scenario competition?

we should just guess which it is and claim it as fact. its the TPB way. "Joe always does this, ... Joe always does that ..." has already crept back into this thread despite the fact he's never made a single pick or trade in his life after all

Do they allow betting here on this site?

sure do. I usually bet burritos, tacos ... I guess I like mexican food alot.

whats the bet, specifically? If its who are they drafting, I don't know how many times I can say I don't know.
