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

[Bolt4Knob]

Right now it isnt a need.


id say rank of need today til we make moves is. Asterik means possible FA signing on top of draft pick.

OC*
TE*
RB*
CB*
LB
OG
OT
DT

After moves such as MW released, Mack traded, Kendricks released, and FAs Ekeler, Kelly, Mike Davis, Murray, Everett, not brought back i would add WR in there but it isnt as big a need. Id slot it in there in the middle somehwhere and draft players as seen fit by who is on the board at those times.

Brad Holmes of the Lions had a quote about this. Uses free agency to target needs as the draft has too much unpredictability to target players to fill needs. Now, it is that fine line between filling needs and BPA - but picking at 5 in R1 - thats talent all the way or you leverage the pick, trade back to fill more of the "need"

I think a lot of the heavy lifting to check off half of the boxes you have listed above will be done in free agency.

B. Bowers will not be there after 10th (Jets).
The Chargers should consider that if they want him.
The #19 is avalaible for him next season.

The number 19 belonged to Lance Alworth, and has been retired, along with 14 (Fouts) and 18 (Joiner).

The #19 was retired from San Diego Chargers.
It is now the LA Chargers.
Forget about it, finding him a jersey # should'nt be a problem !

Byron Murphy @ #5 ?

Should we be talking about
Byron Murphy @ #5 ?

some of us were once upon a time, and.... speaking for myself.... old news, as prefer Fuaga's intangibles.

and we could def use him or Jer'Zhan, albeit wondering if A'Shawn Robinson would add much via FA ??

Byron Murphy @ #5 ?

I think he is more a second round player
