2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

[DerwinBosa]

“The scout” …

Lol. I suppose you'd rather go by what a random mock draft nerd says over a professional scout currently employed by an NFL team.

To each his own.

Sounds like you’re talking about a lot of good players used well: Nabers, Thomas Jr., Kool Aid, Arnold. Cool.

Love listening to this guy talk WRs.Very insightful.

"Rome (Odunze) is a player, and that's why I don't like him going to the Chargers, is you put him in the slot where he can run his intermediate routes, not down the field - he's not a vertical threat with his speed, he's a vertical threat with his body position, but if you get him in that 15 range, I think you can see huge separation...." - Steve Smith

Discussion previous to that was Zierlein quoting a scout who was worried about Odunze's separation .... his playing speed not being his track speed.


They like Nabers at #1 .... think his upside is greater than MHJr, and believe he can learn things like running better routes that he currently lacks;
they believe MHJr is a bit of a finished product.

Am I the only one getting somewhat uneasy they are going to fuck this up, of sorts? I have no knowledge of these players but I’d hate to see them take someone ranked much lower than their picks, regardless of trading down.

I really hope I’m wrong though.

As a finished product I would not mind getting a 50% discount from receivers on the open market!

Just saw a mock where we made the trade with the Vikings and landed Bowers @ 11 & Brian Thomas Jr. @ 23! If this happens I think that could possibly be a perfect scenario for us and Herbert!

Hmm, that kinda explains your username

A little pre-draft QB drama. Apparently, Daniels is upset with the Commanders because they brought all 4 QBs in at the same time for their team visit. He then went on to say he wanted to play for either the Vikings or Raiders. The draft is going to be very interesting.

Whats the scout’s name? Sorry, I missed who he is.

I actually watched that game. I’ll go by what I saw - I saw a blazing fast WR torch one of the best defenses in college. A defense that regularly throws 4+ defensive players into the NFL every year. There was little that troubled him that day, its pretty nit picky shit.

Smart move by Commanders. They sussed out who the diva is that's afraid to compete.

I was thinking the same thing. If I am the Commanders, there is no way I am taking this guy. He will likely flame out in the NFL.
