2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

[electricgold]

I like guys that look like shit in a uniform. Their bellies barely fit inside. If they have goo dripping out of their helmet or pant leg... even better. They make all the pretty boys look better. There are always big uglies coming after our pretty boys, too. Have more big uglies... most of the time, you'll win that way. If your big uglies also have agility, balance, and reflexes... pick them first.

Last time I checked... Travis Kelce is the only Travis Kelce. Andy Reid is the only Andy Reid. So why build a team that tries to look like Andy Reid and Travis Kelce are on your team...? Jim Harbaugh is about as far away from Andy Reid as could be. Maybe that's how you beat Andy Reid... Do something Andy could never fathom in a million years. Build something that looks like Jim Harbaugh... and Greg Roman... and Jesse Minter. Our team should start looking more like the Ravens and Wolverines which each and every pick.

Yes, Jim tried to recruit Brock Bowers.
Brock Bowers chose Kirby Smart's offense.
Start asking yourself "Why?" Maybe Jim wasn't sexy enough...

Yep in regard to the oline the master key is having great coaching with great culture! I think we now have both! When the pats were a dynasty they had late round prospects on their oline.... Solid Olineman can be found in every round...

Turds. All those lower picks.

To me, the Bowers criticism is as strange as the Herbert stuff from 2020 and Justin was even more of a projection than Bowers is...let's not over think things and just trust what we've seen, the production is there, the tape doesn't lie, and the player is clean off the field...no need to knock Bowers down just because you want someone else, I think some of that is happening here too...

I think some are just trying to project what Harbaugh and Hortiz want and they will draft OL, but imo i have to think TE is important whether we signed two or not. Bowers is just a utility TE who can be a inline plus.

He is the only college TE ever to win the Mackey award twice. OL will be drafted but it dont have to be first round.

I'd go with Harbaugh and Herbert. More than the Ravens - Wolverines, the LA Chargers.

yeah but Lloyd will catch up to him after 40 yards

Maybe.....4.4 to 4.5 is only 3 feet (1 yard) difference in 40 yards. How often do we take an 80 yarder to the house? Im not advocating we take Corum, but i wouldnt rule him or Lloyd out. Neither float my boat.
Corum isnt a favorite of mine but the has quick feet, quick cuts.....and that will help get thru a line and cause missed tackles obviously quicker than Lloyd will. And in that drill with those cuts he is ahead of Lloyd by 2-3 yards. AKA playing faster. Sure they arent wearing pads of defenders but then why wouldnt you play that drill fast? There are reasons why they do these drills.

WRs doing the guantlet get noticed for running fast during them as well.

I'd be happy with Isaac Guerendo in the 5th, the rest are a bunch of fucking stubs by comparison...

Maybe he wasnt much interested in living in Michigan in the winter. That would be my reason if im choosing. Its isnt always as simple as some think it is. Doesnt mean he chose an offense but who knows? Certainly you and i dont. If you could choose, would you chose NY, Detroit or Green Bay? I know my answer is NO! But everyone is different.

Trade everything after 3 for another 2nd.

I dont much like Guerendo. Certainly would choose both those guys over him. Not sure id even draft Guerendo. His cutting ability lacks, rounds them off than cutting, gets dinged often and missed seasons with a hammy and lis franc. Thats why i assume he was brought in, ...to be examined by our medical staff. These visits are a lot about that than just being interested in them.

Im thinking Guerendo would be a PS guy.

Some current and former DT draft prospects. Michael seems to be an average run stopper but good pass rusher while Kris Jenkins is the opposite. Basically the best of both is on the far upper right.

[Critty]

Your post about my post and your point about my point are pointless. 90% of TPB is irrelevant. There’s no need to get personal here, we’re all friends , right?

We are Chargers fanatics. It is personal.
But, we are just talking shop about the personnel.
Wouldn't you agree my friend.

this just makes me like Jenkins even more, we need a dominant run stuffer...
