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

[AK47]

With pick #5 draft either Dallas Turner, Malik Nabers or MHJ!

Or trade down to pick 8-11 with the intention to draft Bowers!

If Bowers gets drafted before pick 8-11 trade down again with the intention of drafting OC Powers or one of the top RT's...

Dallas Turner just may be the best player of the draft when we look back 5 years from now. If there was 1 player built to stop a Patrick Mahomes its this kid meaning he'd a be a problem for any QB. The upper body frame and strength of a 6-5 270lb guy with the open field agility of a 6-1 safety with 4.46 speed. Kid is like 80% of his full potential right now.

think there's a decent chance Bowers ends up a Bengal.... think he matches well w/Burrows,

[beachcomber]

personal opinion is that when a position group is strong, that doesn't mean eye wait on things and dip in after the goings have already been good.... rather eye get in first and get the cream of the crop, as 'tis prolly higher value than most years, rather than waiting and taking someone that is just avg compared to other years anyways.... ??

I think that is too late. If Bowers doesnt go in top 10, I dont think Sean Payton lets him get past 12.

Might be annoying after watching Kelce dominate us in our division for years

Dallas Turner's frame looked slight to me at the combine: somewhat like a wide receiver.

Turner is 6-3, 247.Still a big man.

The point would be getting the best RT in the draft.
We asked him @ RT in his interview. . He says he will be fine there.
Slater was a RT in college, now a Pro Bowl LT. I'd leave it up to Hortiz, the scouts and coaches.

Of course I'm leaving up to our coaches to make the decision. BUT Alt plays LT in college not RT. Slater moved from RT to LT. So it's the exact opposite.
It didn't work with Eric Fisher and some others. Lane Johnson on the other hand played LT, like Alt, but moved to RT in the NFL. That worked out. So who knows?

This is what interviews do for you....IF the players are being honest.

Micha Parsons is listed at 6'3 245!

Dallas Turner is 6'3 247!

Based on what Hortiz is saying wouldn't Turner be regarded by some as the best Defensive player on the board @5?!

Remember what Herbert's record is when the D holds teams under 20 points?!

Something like 16-0!

Turner and Micah arent the same. Micah played ILB and on the edge and does both in Dallas. Turner just on the edge. Maybe Turner could play ILB but Micah has excelled at both and Turner hasnt played there at all.

Only player ive seen do both in college in this draft is Edgerrin Cooper but he is undersized for Edge at 230 lbs. If he can add 10 or so, he would be a nice pick for us if they want versatility. Or just as a ILB he would be a good pick. Thinking JH & Minter like Colson.
