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

[AK47]

Same. I'd be happy with any of Nabers, Odunze, Bowers or Arnold at #5, although for the latter two I'd be slightly disappointed we weren't able to trade down a few spots and still get them.

At #5 we're gonna get calls imho. Whether GMs like it or not they have to hit on QB.

Gronk is a huge dude and its not the best photo of Bowers

I am still on the trade down from Brock bandwagon. Especially if McCarthy is a riser - maybe the Falcons to 5 or the Vikings to 5

Yep, those are the two teams I’m looking at.

That said, I’m warming to Alt at 5. Dunno why, it certainly would be a Harbaugh pick.

You know for a top 5 QB - -who knows maybe the Falcons would give up the equivalent of a late First Round pick

My valuation was just 10% higher than the points chart

Top 5 pick I'm throwing the draft chart out the window. You want a QB you are going to pay but that's just me..lol. I don't think I'm moving off that pick without a 2024 2nd and 3rd.

readin' the scuttlebutt, and.... JJ McCarthy's stock is on the rise, and looks like it might be Drake Maye that is the one that gets lost in the shuffle top five ??

[beachcomber]

the consensus is that we're going the one of OT, CB, TE or WR, and.... still holding out hope for the IDL.

I don't think McCarthy has moved ahead of Maye or even into the top 3 QBs of Williams, Maye, Daniels but i do think he has separated himself from Nix and Penix as the clear QB4 and wont last past the top 15 picks.

The team most likely to trade up in the NFL Draft is the Atlanta Falcons. This team has all the pieces to compete in a weak NFC South: their offensive line is great, the weapons are impressive, and the defense is solid. The biggest weakness is at quarterback, as Demond Ridder proved he was not the answer last year. Unless they trade for Justin Fields, don’t be surprised if the Falcons get aggressive and agree to a trade long before the draft begins.

The Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders, meanwhile, are in similar boats. It’s a foregone conclusion that Denver will part ways with Russell Wilson, so this team will need a quarterback. However, Denver doesn’t have the resources to trade up in the NFL Draft unless they part ways with star cornerback Patrick Surtain. This feels unlikely, so they might just let the board come to them and select Bo Nix. The Raiders, meanwhile, need a better option than Aidan O’Connell. Trading up will not be cheap, but perhaps first-year head coach Antonio Pierce will be willing to pay that heavy price.

The Minnesota Vikings will try to trade up in the NFL Draft if Kirk Cousins leaves in free agency. This team can make the playoffs with a starting-caliber quarterback, but they have no backup plan if Cousins leaves. Last but certainly not least is the New Orleans Saints. Derek Carr’s contract will keep him around for one more year, but he’s clearly not the long-term answer. Much like when the Chiefs traded up to select Patrick Mahomes despite having a solid starter in Alex Smith, the Saints could build for the future if they fall in love with the right prospect.

The most obvious fit is the New England Patriots. While the team desperately needs a quarterback, recent reports indicate that they aren’t enamored with Daniels or McCarthy.

This leaves the Los Angeles Chargers as the most likely team to trade back in the NFL Draft. The Chargers already have a franchise quarterback in Justin Herbert, but they don’t have much young talent. The veteran-heavy defense was one of the worst in the league last year, and the offense needs younger playmakers. While it’s not the most fun option, trading back and getting multiple players who can make a Day 1 impact makes a lot of sense for this franchise.

Nabers, higher ceiling.

Thats where I’m leaning right now.

[Kylars]

Somehow, Bowers is strong enough to break tackles and be a run after the catch monster.

Have you seen Kelce's pipes? Look like spaghetti and a lot smaller than these pictures of Bowers

Agree with you

Waist down is really all that matters anyhow.

Plus he is a baby. At that age he is not even mature and could easily put on more lean mass....

Whose the high school kid next to Gronk?

[Charge!]

Thats where I’m leaning right now.

When I watch nabors highlights...... he makes amazing plays!....BUT...... AFTER EVERY play he is taunting and yapping at the defenders,,,,yapping and yapping and yapping..... he backs that selfish bullsh*t up but......

My concern is: IS HE A HEADCASE and future trouble maker?????

Super bowl MVP and talks of possibly being the goat. Click on pic to see his physique. Not sure which is worse. That pic or Brady's combine weigh in pic.
