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

[Bolt4Knob]

No trophy because we are a plodding offense....LOL

Also not having a top 10 rushing attack since 2007 really hurts the play-action game and big plays.

Team rushing yards
2006 - 2nd in NFL
2007 - 7th
2008 - 20th
2009 - 31st
2010 - 15th
2011 - 16th
2012 - 27th
2013 - 13th
2014 - 30th
2015 - 31st
2016 - 26th
2017 - 24th
2018 - 15th
2019 - 28th

Herbert years
2020 - 18th
2021 - 21st
2022 - 30th
2023 - 25th

Telesco years - the best he had were 13 and 15
otherwise many years in the 20's
and from week 2 to week 18 - the worst rushing in the league

Are you sure Brock is worth that high a pick.

Overrated? That's funny and yes he is worth #5 pick. What year was this? 2023? If so, Georgia won that game and Bowers Had 7 catches for 80 yards with 1 TD. Pretty good numbers for a TE.

So this highlights an excellent point - with Ekeler likely gone, who is going to lead our rushing attack? I assume it'll be a committee, but who will be in it?

The big difference is Gore. They had a run game which the Chargers haven't had in what like 3 yrs minimum? We need a stud running back either from the draft or through FA.

Gore jr on day 3 for the W!

Welcome - see its your first point

For a second rounder from Atlanta - I probably do it. For a 3rd rounder - would need another pick like a future 3rd as well

Thanks man! This place seems to engage in a bit higher level discussion than the Chargers subreddit, so figured I'd join up.

Blake Corum
(or some other pick from the 3rd or 4th round as the new GM/HC have a clue about drafting a running back and developing an OLine)

third down back will be a veteran - kenyan drake or somebody who won't cost much, is good in the passing game and blitz pick up for 20% of what they paid Ekeler this year

[Charge!]

Man I would like to get 2 first round picks for that #5......

Then draft a token 1st round talent which fell at #37. That's 3 potential 1st round talents we can add in the first 2 rounds.

no.... more liklely that is 3 iffy 2nd rounders vs a cant miss superstar...

How many 2nd round misses would you have traded Seau or LT for????

[Charge!]

Chargers will lose 3-5 or more of our best players this off season.... all of our elite players other than Herbert.....

Chargers MUST use this top 5 pick on an elite difference making player...... there is no debate.... no more trading away polomalu for 2 players who never amounted to anything-that is what bad franchises do!

bad OL's and bad RB's(meaning wrong type of RB's).... and soft coaches and teams..... lol

[Charge!]

I want Spanos to hire Harbaugh and change this teams future for at least 5 years.... Harbaugh and herbert would win us at least one SB....
