2020 NFL Draft Discussion

What do you think of D. Jeremiah's last mock ?
1. Burrows
2. Young
3. Okudah
4. Wirfs
5. Herbert
If that happens, I will be very nervous.

If Miami passes on Tua, the Chargers will pass on Tua.

There is a great deal of similarity in how GMs assess risk.
The risk would be too great at #5/6. Less so further down.

Tua will not be a Charger. I'd be happy if the Fish choose Herbert.

Fromm = Drew Brees 2.0

Jake Fromm Statefarm is the next Brees?

Here's the other thing with Tua if you draft him top ten. His fifth year option will be astronomical compared to drafting him at 11. You sit him for the first season and then get some success out of him as QB. Do you want to pay him $30 mill for his fifth year? I'd rather see the chargers move down with a trade partner to #13 or #14 etc. and if he's still on the board fine. Haven't we learned enough from Verret and Ryan Mathews? Players with injury histories do not get better....

If you’re paying that fifth year option, odds are that things are working out just fine for that top 10 pick. Whoever we end up with, I hope that four years from now we’re paying the guy and bitching about TT getting his extension done. Don’t worry, the Bears aren’t gonna be worry about paying Tribisky’s option a year from now.

A franchise QB will win significantly more games for the Chargers over his career than a great LB/S/whatever hybrid would. I'll take my chances on the former, even if it's not guaranteed, it's just worth the risk IMO.

I'll take a HOF player anytime regardless of position. If there's a good chance of getting one at 6, take him. Tua, Simmons, Brown, Okudah, Thomas appear to have that potential. Tua is an injury risk that many teams are allegedly unwilling to take. Gimme one of the other 4 in the above order, or Tua if they absolutely believe in him and we're ready to go with TT for a year.

It's just incredibly risky on all levels given that some of the second rounders Like Hurts, Eason, Love might have better overall careers given they're available to play. With that bears offense Dan Marino would have a hard time making anything happen let alone a young insecure QB.

stick w/the bolded, and.... Isaiah.

We will probably gain that many wins just based on the fact that we lost so many close games last year, and the historical fact that bad luck in close games doesn't happen to the same team (or good luck) 2 years in a row.

Our league fewest defensive takeaway number combined with 3rd most offensive turnovers may have stimulated the bad mojo. Being relatively avg in those areas would have probably resulted in 3-4 more wins.
IMO we have that covered with the current roster if most of the key starters play most of the season. If we score an impact starter and some useful others in the draft, I'll be thinking +5 or 6.

Telesco has heard all of your collective concerns

fortunately he understands that being a real GM in it’s nature is a duty of constant risk assessment.
we fans can mock safe drafts all we want without the pressure to produce results.
in real life, he has one opportunity to build a winning team post-Rivers era and by far the most important piece is thy mighty franchise quarterback.

Telesco has been given the green light to make it happen and will roll with a Tua with an injury history over a Taylor with an average history.

it will be very difficult for me to be disappointed tomorrow regardless of who we draft but there’s a bug chance many of you will be disappointment if/when we draft Tua.

I ask that we handle our disappointment responsibility and support this kid as I know we can. Send out positive mojos, stay optimistic and enjoy the ride.
if we fail, there will be ample time to piss and moan and throw this shit in my face (I’m not going anywhere anytime soon).

boltup brothers (and sister)
like way up.

You confuse disappointment with concerns. Again my biggest concern with Tua is him not being able to stay on the field and a cut short career.

I hate to say this...I'd rather trade this years 6th pick for next years 1st and 2nd rounder for the trevor lawrance sweepstakes if they're contemplating this stupidity. 2 1sts and 2 2nds should get us to the promised land. LOL!
