And With The 5th Pick Of The NFL Draft Chargers Select....Discussion

[Ghost of Quacksaw]

Let me frame the matter *this* way--

Let's say that when the Chargers are on the clock at #5, there is NO suitable trade offer to consider. Let's say that everyone here would agree that turning down whatever flimsy offer came in was absolutely the right thing to do. The only sane thing to do would be to stay at #5, and pick.

So if trading down were NOT an option, *YOU*, TPB poster, would select... WHO?

If no suitable trade offer has materialized, it's probably because all of the trade-up worthy QBs were selected with picks 1 through 4.

The most elite players remaining on the board, in that case, would be Harrison, Nabers and Odunze.

Granted, I'm no scout with access to any inside information, so knowing only what I know... my pick would be Harrison.

Odunze is the guy who's character and football mentality seem to be the highest, and if those impressions I have are true, then I would lean Odunze's way, instead.

I'm going to take a guess at your pick at 5...

Odunze.
Final answer.

Strike one.

[northerner]

Strike one.

Nabers?

I don't believe Nabers and Odunze are better prospects than Joe Alt. If Harrison isn't there, and we don't trade down, Alt is my pick.

The prestigious Drafttek has Big Joe at #3 Overall on their Big Board.
I believe he would be just fine at ORT.
Duke Manyweather concurs.
Now convince pbb.
Good luck with that.

Strike one.

Byron Murphy?

Quinton Mitchell?

No, I'd actually be fine with that,
provided that Slater blew out his knee and then developed a staff infection all before the draft.

Otherwise, start off a new regime by drafting a Domer and moving him to RT?
Oh, hell no!

I thought that you would dangle your final decision for a few weeks before unveiling it to much awaited anticipation.

There are only a couple of players I'd be geeked about the Bolts taking from the #5 spot, and Odunze is one of them.

Same. As far as "fit" and in the context of losing KA and the type of offense we want to build, I agree.
One could argue he's a better fit than either nabers or MH2.
I'm not ready to proclaim that but I can see it.

I'm still going with my pick from the very beginning of this thread and nothing has changed my mind, Bowers.

He can do much more than any #1 WR can in this offense plus there are really good WRs and OTs to be found in the later rounds. TE's not so much.
