    I thought after the Allen trade it was up to $47mil?

      We drafted 1st rd OL in 21 & 22, Rd 5 in'21 & '23 rd 6 in '22.

      Probably time to work on some team training. It ain't like we have a lack of talent.
      More a lack of OL minded HC, OC and nothing special OL coach and trainers.
      Losing Linsley was a major blow. We do need a quality C. Either draft or FA.
      Totally greatfull for the new coaching and training staff. let's put some work in on the OTs- OGs we have.

        Staley’s approach, which seemed to drive every bus on the team, was uptalking his players while putting them in poor positions to execute anything. Terrible way to coach.

          We know TT and Staley were bad, but I have feeling we are going to see just how epically bad they were.

              Trade Herbert to the Bears for their 2 firsts and second this year and their 2nd next year. Take MHJ number 1 overall, take JJ at #5, and Oline/DT or CB with #9... Boom!

                With how things are playing out so far it's very real possibility that charges trade down to Vikes for a 11 and 23 which I would be all over. I still think we go CB first and target a WR like Micconkey/Pearall and an edge with the 2nd first/top of second. The rookies won't be keenan but they both have legit quickness and route running skills and can backfill some of that production in a new system that is not so pass heavy.

                  If the Chargers trade back to #11 and get #23 in the trade back. I would put money on the pick being Bowers @ #11. @ #23 they could trade back or stand to make a pick, but I really believe they will try and trade back to get another 2nd round pick.

                    Worst take this year. I think you need a timeout.

                    2. Quinshon Judkins RB Ohio st
                    3. Kyle Kennard Edge So. Carolina
                    ✓
                    4. CJ West DT Indiana
                    5. Don'te Thornton WR Tennessee
                    6. Zah Frazier CB UTSA

                      Per OTC, Chargers cap space is $28m but doesn't include Poona Ford, Easton Stick, Hurst or the Bosa restructure.

                        Echoing what I said in the other thread, this is my final stance, only if we get both of Minnesota's picks through a trade down:

                        A trade back for Fuaga and Fautanu would be incredible.
                        Both of those players are highly projected to be elite interior linemen and starter-level OT's => which means depth at tackle.

                        You've basically accounted for four positions with two 1st-round quality picks, in the much-valued trenches no less.

                        You want an ultra WR? Look at the cap space we got next year. That's when you get NFL-proven ballers with NFL Playoff experience.
                        Draft a WR in the 2nd and maybe 3rd, this WR class is deep.

                        Harbaugh gets his OL and Justin gets his weapons.

                        Jets signing a FA LT basically means they go Bowers and that's ideal for us to shore up the interior OL and provide depth/potential at tackle.

                          It was def not meant to be taken very seriously but ask yourself... Does Herbert have that winning instinct to go along with all that talent? What has he really done for us other than individual accolades that have ensured his enormous payday. Herbert is likely our franchise, but I would not be totally upset by a surprise move.
