The 2019 Post Draft Discussion - Rookie Discussion

[charger1993]

I want competition for Tevi now. I see Pipkins as a redshirt.

And thats what pipkins will be, he wont push tevi. Only thing thst changes out oline is where they decide to put lamp

[charger1993]

Telesco said in the post presser in their view OL wasn't a big area concern. They like the group and have Lamp coming back and liked the OT prospect for the future. Wanted to add to the LBs and DL a d they did that.

He did say after the first round all college players need a lot of work. Said they do hope and is the goal to get a guy in the first they hope can contribute a lot.

Adderley is not going to be handed a starting possition.
Said be needs work and will compete with Jenkins and Watkins for time.

Of course thats what hes gonna say, but eveyone knows adderly has the stsrting spot locked up unless hes a slow developer/ or a bust. Jenkins is basically an extra lb used in certain dime packages. And watkins is uber athletic but isnt exactly the best in coverage, also not a great tackler. Adderly has the job, Just like tillery is gonna start, now wheter or not theyre any good is a differnet story and we will see how good they are

I'd suspect the guy who makes the least mistakes is the opening day starter.

Typically how it goes. But adderly shouldnt have a problem being the starter. He should easily win the fs. If he cant win the fs job ill definitely be worried, its not like were oozing great fs play.

[La Costa Boy]

This draft is maybe a C.
we drafted 2 players who can help us get rivers a ring now. The rest are players who might help in like 3 years.
least favorite draft in recent years. Its a C for me

And the glass is half empty. I'm gonna start calling this guy "Caslon"

PFF loves our Draft From Tillery to Broughton
LOS ANGELES CHARGERS

Round 1 (28): DI Jerry Tillery, Notre Dame

Round 2 (60): S Nasir Adderley, Delaware

Round 3 (91): OT Trey Pipkins, Sioux Falls

Round 4 (130): LB Drue Tranquill, Notre Dame

Round 5 (166): QB Easton Stick, North Dakota State

Round 6 (200): LB Emeke Egbule, Houston

Round 7 (242): DI Cortez Broughton, Cincinnati

Day 1:

No man loved Notre Dame's Jerry Tillery as much as our very own Mike Renner. The long, athletic defensive interior was knocked in the pre-draft process because he has interests outside of football - which still doesn't make a ton of sense - but Renner didn't factor in Tillery's love for reading or traveling into his evaluation. Shocking some, he kept his eyes on the film, advanced statistical production and the grading.

The Bolts got another PFF favorite for a very cheap price, stealing Derwin James at pick No. 17 a year ago and Tillery at No. 28 this year.

Day 2:

Delaware safety Nasir Adderley received a first-round grade from PFF this offseason. The small-school product lit up the Senior Bowl. He also earned a 90.3 overall grade with Delaware a year ago, and his 89.9 2018 coverage grades led all draft-eligible safeties.

Sioux Falls' Trey Pipkins didn't make his way onto PFF's final top-250 list for this year's draft.

Day 3:

Scooping up former Notre Dame off-ball linebacker Drue Tranquill at pick No. 130, Los Angeles made yet another value pick at the top of Day 3. Tranquill is a former safety turned linebacker with great athleticism and all the intangibles teams normally fall in love with when scouting linebackers. He has been one of the best coverage linebackers in college football over the past couple seasons after earning an 83.3 coverage grade in 2018 and 90.1 in 2017.

Emeke Egbule, PFF's No. 212 overall player in the class, is a solid pass-rushing off-ball linebacker coming out of Houston. He earned an impressive 76.4 pass-rush grade and totaled 22 total pressures this past season.

Cincinnati's Cortez Broughton, a favorite of PFF's Andrew Russell, is a sneaky good pick to take before the frenzy for undrafted free agents starts. During his career at Cincinnati (2014-2018), Broughton racked up 94 quarterback pressures and 98 defensive stops by putting all of his power into a vicious first step. He can apply interior pressure on any down, and he can clear lanes in an instant. Against the run, Broughton was just as efficient. He never fell outside of the top 10 among qualified AAC interior defenders during his final three seasons, posting a run-defense grade over 80.0 each year.

DRAFT GRADE: EXCELLENT

I just read from kyle posey that the Chargers offered Arizona a 3rd round pick for Rosen. Miami swooped in at the last minute and offered something better.

TT loves PFF.
