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

[CanadianBoltFan]

In a year the draft is oozing Wide receivers I think it's up to KA to take a hit as well. Restructure Mack and let the other three walk. I see so many other teams do better with lesser talent.

I am totally open.

I scratch my head when i see my fellow Charger fans here advocating for keeping all 4 players and pushing more money into the future. Isn't that the definition of insanity? We have the most top heavy and over paid 4 players in the NFL that take up a ridiculous 58% of our salary cap. With these 4 players we have never won ANYTHING and last i looked this is a 5-12 team. Two of these 4 players are rarely on the field and healthy.

Personally I don't see any realistic or positive scenario where all 4 of these players are back in 2024, and frankly I don't want to. Look I like Mike Williams but that is an obvious cut to save 20 million. No one will trade for him.

People want culture change and a winning team, that is going to mean some changes. Whether i personally like some of these players or not, I am more sick of Chargering and want change, whatever that has to look like. Beyond Herbert, Slater, Tuli, Dicker...sure restructure Keenan as the veteran....i don't care who they move out

Hortiz is not going to keep all four high priced guys and keep rolling money forward, me, I'm a huge Mack fan and it's tragic he's not younger because in the short time he's been here, he's been everything I hoped Bosa would be but never became...

[QUOTE=Boltjolt;n1646369]All they can say i no...or they can say, well lets swap places in the 4th. If they say no, then i say ok. Lets do it.

I dont even know who mentioned Bijan. It is a rumor of a fan suggestion?[/QUOTE]

Even better, a "podcaster"
haha

Save Money?!?!? Spend it elsewhere....

you are not saving money towards the roster by cutting bosa this year.

At least $14 mil.

well, taken out of context like that, that could make me sound like a total POS, like I was saying something inappropriate, which I wasn't...my point was that not everyone is born with the same types of muscles, even among athletes there are still some people that stand out as having stronger bones and higher concentrations of quick twitch type muscles that produce more power and contract at much higher speeds...I'm no scientist but it has to do with "different distributions of myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms in muscles" sometimes referred to as higher muscle density even though the muscle itself can be the same size the more "dense" muscles might have more and shorter individual cells building up each individual strand rather than a lower number of longer cells that take longer to contract because they are longer...

I didnt take it out of context and didn’t think you are a POS at all. I thought it was an excellent analogy - i understood exactly what you meant - plus its a damn fine catch phrase. This one’s gonna put you on the podium - prepare your acceptance speech, you earned it!

One of the charger podcast guys said that Hortiz hasn't had a top 5 pick in Baltimore in the last two decades, he's accustomed to getting great players in the 20-28 range every year, so yeah, it makes sense to let him work the draft to get the most 'value' out of that #5 pick, I'd rather have a guy like Hortiz have 2-3 at bats than just the one with the #5, that's TT type shit, this guy will get more out of that pick, I know he will...

Hortiz wasn’t making picks in BAL - why do I keep reading about Hortiz did this / did that? DeCosta was GM, he was Director of Player Personnel there.

[dmac_bolt]

Me...When I was looking at potential trade partners and Atlanta came up I mentioned it would be nice to get Bijan in a trade deal because we all like him last year at pick #21.

I’ve heard that Blank is gonna want to go hard for Cousins - they may not be trading up for a QB. … tbd …

[Topcat]

I saw an interesting (and likely very unrealistic, but what the hell) trade proposal: if one of the QBs the Falcons really want is on the board when our pick comes up, would you swap our pick for their pick plus Bijan?

I don't think the Falcons will trade Bijan, even needing a QB...still has 3 years left on his deal...

True, though Hortiz was surely in the war room on draft day, and no doubt gained a lot of insight on trading up and down...

14 million in cap savings, but then there is a dead cap space hit, which is more.
