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

Looking forward to it.

Sarcasm.
Effective run blocking is not about number of pancakes.
The "proof" is in the body of work.

I do consider Fuaga to be a peefect fit at #5 even.
Any pass blocking concerns are alleviated by "The Owner of the C Gap."

We could go in several directions in this draftpbb, even yours.

Agreed. If you want to see the top speed match the calculated 40 time, then you need to have the player get a running start, hit the starting line already at full speed, and then run the ENTIRE 40 at top speed (theoretically speaking). In that case someone running 23.5 mph for 40 full measured yards would probably run a sub 4 second 40. And that's assuming that they can maintain top speed for 40 yards without wavering.

But, of course, that would be an entirely different thing altogether than just running a normal 40 yd dash.

3.48 second 40

We're allowing Human/Cheetah hybrids in the NFL now?

I would put Odunze ahead of Nabers for us.

Is that based on general Prospect Talent or based on best WR in our run-centric offense?

In our offense: Imho they are equal in first 3 quarters albeit in different ways. In the 4th quarter when the opposing defense have been pounded on are stumbling I feel Nabers' skillset to weave through weary LBs and safeties and explode to get open is the ultimate knockout punch.

Odunze is nice nevertheless and is probably the better beat his man one-on-one type guy.

And that’s why I like Odunze for us out of the two, more confidence in his specific game when it’s all on the line.

I could be wrong, but if we go wide receiver at #5 I think it will be Odunze. I think the quote that Hortiz thinks Nabers is the greatest wide receiver prospect he's ever seen was a nice attempt at driving up interest for a trade to #5, but Odunze seems to be the better fit with Harbaugh than Nabers is. Although I prefer Alt or a pass-rusher over Odunze, I will have no problem with Odunze being the pick. I will be quite surprised if it's Nabers.

Agree, DB.

I refuse to fall in love with a prospect and trust Hortiz and Harbaugh to do what is best.

There's someone exactly like you in every forum I've ever been part of. You get around, don't you?

So much This.

At first, I thought that you were saying that (1) you refuse to fall in love with a prospect, and (2) you refuse to trust Hortiz and Harbaugh to do what's best..

I now understand that while you inadvertently implied (2), that it isn't what you meant.

In two weeks, this board will be on fire in a good way... The first round will be over, and we'll probably have a good understanding on what the priorities of the the rest of the draft will be. I'm going with the BPA idea, I think its Harrison, but I'm not falling into the despair mode if he isn't available or even passed on with a trade out. I'm just hoping that those that have put in so much work on who they think is the pick is just as likely to be wrong as the next guy, lol. The only ones that matter in this draft is Hortiz and Harbaugh, and that they are not just guessing, and are executing on THE PLAN.
