2024 Chargers Draft Superthread - Prospect Discussion - Draft Has Started

[Topcat]

To channel my good friend and artist Topcat … they met with him to confirm he’s, ahem, legit?

Bravo, well done, there Mac! Yep, with a 4.39 40, no doubt about it...Legette is an ahem, legit deep threat:
(Wow, if we draft this dude, we'll have all KINDS of pun fun for years!)

One day before the draft is when rumors can start to become a little more credible.
Teams and their plans become more solid.

How about this draft rumor:

"The Raiders were among the teams who checked in with the Commanders, hoping to move from No. 13 to No. 2 in their search for a possible answer at quarterback, Garafolo added."

Imagine what TT would give up to trade up from #13 to #2...wow, I'm guessing at least THREE first rounders, maybe FOUR second rounders, and of course, TT would need to throw in a couple of 4th rounders to sweeten the pot...

The reason im so high on the top pass catchers in this draft are because my peronal comps are so vast. They are all super versatile and cover traits of many players all rolled into one. Man i would kill for the Cards to take Harrison and the Giants just move up one spot to 5 and we get 6/47. Thats probably my main desire. Even over 11/23. Then be in play for one of these guys. I know i keep beating the Bowers drum...but thats just because the next TE isnt close to being a lock starter to me. And the WR class is deep enough to get a great starter. But after the top 3 i do see the drop off. But we are talking All Pro types vs top 15 WRs in the league. All 3 WRs in this draft have the ability to become the next top 5 guy in the league.

Bowers - Kittle/Kelce/Deebo/Aiyuk/Juszczyk
Nabers - Tyreek/Antonio Brown/DJ Moore
Harrison - Randy Moss/Julio Jones/AJ Green
Odunze - Justin Jefferson/Davante Adams/Keenan

Exciting stuff, but i am preparing myself that we are taking Alt at 5. Sounding more like that.

I am good with OT being the pick - trusting in Hortiz

Truly - this offseason so far for me as been a solid A in terms of the vision and philosophy.

[Lone Bolt]

If its Alt, I put him on leftside, and put Slater on the right...wont hurt his eventual payday...he has already been allpro on the left, and will get paid as such...by somebody else, if not us...so I dont think there will be hurt feelings/disgruntlement...I think he would handle the transition better than Alt...jmo

[Maniaque 6]

If you look at Chargers official site, the first pick will be on offense.
At 5, you got MHJ, Joe Alt or Nabers
At 11, you got JC Latham or T. Fuaga
They all think Bowers will go 9 or 10.

The pay scale between LT and RT is large. Moving Alt to LT when Slater has already been a success there is a bad move. Letting Slater
go and putting Alt there in his place does not resolve the issue at RT and you may have just made LT worse. Very bad idea all round.

Just draft an OT mid rounds to replace Pip, done.

Maybe...guess that spitball didn't stick...but then don't draft Alt...he is wasted on the right...Latham and Fuaga would outperform him there.

I like Legette but it took him til his 5th college season for things to click. He may be a year 2-3 guy in the NFL and we still have QJ trying to click.
it's my only knock on him.

My take is if we want to improve the RT position we can easily do it with a 2nd round pick. There are 11 or 12 really good OTs in this draft. 5 would
be first rounders, more if the deck wasn't stacked with QBs and WRs.

But at WR the drop off after the 3 is significant. None figure to be WR1. We already have WR2, 3 in QJ and Palmer. This is why I don't like
a WR in the 1st round unless it's one of the big 3's. We figure to add a vet WR at some point after the draft as well.

We also brought in two TEs. I like Bowers a lot, but I don't see it in the cards.

Looks like if we stick @5 the choices would be MH2, Nabers, Odunze, Alt or possibly Bowers. I like Alt, but like I said we can still upgrade
Pipkins and get one of the 3 best WRs in the draft. That's my opinion.

If we get #11 and #23 I'd go D with CB DL and maybe Edge. Of course Bowers if there @11. But we need a lot of help on D.

Yea...your take is wrong. Year one, any RT taken 2nd round or later is gonna ride the pine...and won't be helping us this year. You either take one at the top, or you have Pip and Salyer battle it out.
