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

[gzubeck]

unless the chargers think Zion has a future playing at center, I can't imagine that they don't draft a center by round three...at the senior bowl a couple of years ago Johnson put on a show playing center, much will depend on how the new staff evaluates each position...I still think this team has a good young core of players to build around, but they either draft or sign a replacement for Linsley and for Pete's sake! please end the jaimes to center experiment...

I still think that there's enough on the roster to turn this O-line around quickly and I've always said that you have to continually invest on the O-line thru the draft...

We need to draft oline just not with the 5th pick.

I agree, if the plan is impact O-line early they should trade down a few spots, but that'll probably involve a big reshuffle on the line...I'd rather take impact defensive help early and then target O-line in rounds 2-3 unless they are set on drafting the TE at 5...

I feel like Bowers round 1 still gives us a chance at a stud WR in the high 2nd. But man im so hard on for Odunze. Nabers right there also. Harrison obviously. If i knew Sanders would be there in the 2nd? Im all over one of the elite WRs. All 3 guys are elite. But i have been a massive Odunze guy for a while now. Shorter Mike Evans.

Would not be shocked if Terion Arnold has a monster combine. And skyrockets. Does he overtake McKinstry? His teammate? The ceiling on Arnold is immense.

If you take Bowers at 5 you might still get very good WR at 37, maybe Tony Franklin is there. Those 2 would transform the offense

I think most of us will be happy with the #5 pick no matter who it is as long as they don't go off the reservation with the pick...lol

true, it seems like we can't go wrong with pick #5, but anything is possible in chargerland!

Absolutely. Harrison/Odunze/Nabers with Sanders at TE also does the trick. Elite TE...stud WRs....OL. stud RBs. Lions model. Probably get this done in one draft. And fit a CB in there somewhere.

So you're saying its a deep WR class?

Very. IMO at least. But that elite WR are in the top 3. Ill just call them much safer picks. And more NFL ready. But given what happens when we lose Mike Williams...i am leaning towards one of the top 3. Everyone keeps hammerimg me for having Odunze over Nabers. lol Same people hated the idea that i had Jefferson and Lamb as my top 2. Rome reminds me a lot of Jefferson. Probably faster. He reminds me of a few studs in the league

Whoa 3 rounds you said?

As in WR prospects (and up through round 3) are available with projections that would equate or exceed a 2023 Quentin Johnston?

Odunze is a solid target and Both Nabers and MH2 could be off the board before we even pick. I do think we could get him at say 10-12 range if plan A fails. One thing about Odunze is his over the shoulder catching ability. Dude makes it look like it's a homing missile to his finger tips 40 yards down field.

No im saying the top 3 guys are on a level of their own.

I dont. Everyone saying we should trade back for Osunze. Havnt even had a combine yet. lol Thats always moves the needle. He has moved up into the top 7 now by many. Everyone just going off rankings. Its sad. Watch the tape. Pay attention to the details. Nobody tracks the ball better on deep routes. He is Mike Williams on contested balls and Justin the king of throwing them.

You have stated your lack of desire for Rome. So at this point i get it. You and i will always disagree on this. Im not sure why so many butt heads with me regarding my draft obsessions. Honestly i hate to sound like a cocky asshole...but the record speaks for itself. I love Rome. And players i love have a hgh rate of success. Im proud of myself for how much i have learned over the years. I put a lot of time into it.
