2020 Draft Prospect Discussion

[Lone Bolt]

Herbert will blow up the combine
Miami will opt for the hulking, healthy dual threat, dirty blonde.
we’ll settle for the injury risk
and be rewarded with a soon to be fully healthy franchise qb who will lead us into a new era of quarterback competency
its a game of accuracy and Tua has it
redshirt rookie year or not, we’ll secure the position in 2020 while giving Tyrod a chance to run the new offense
happy days ahead of us brothers
Tua will drag some of you kicking and screaming

Lol...not the direction I prefer, but gotta admire your resolve...let em' hang bro!!:hello:

Tua n Tommy til the hip heals.

Tua coming out is good for bolts...

1. Increases chance, though no guarantee, that we will have a worthy, future francise QB on the board when we pick.
2. Increases chance a better non qb falls to us, due to QB run
3. Increases chance we are offered beneficial trade for our 6, due to QB run

[captaind]

Nope. Just means we get Thomas.

Thomas is gone at 4.

This may keep Rivers here another year, regardless if Miami takes Herbert or Tua. We’re likely taking the QB they don’t pick, and I’m inclined to think Tua will be the one.

Not that I’m crazy about it.

I’m fine with Tua at 6.

All of those are true.......

and by march(start of new NFL year) or sooner, we will know whether Rivers will be a Charger, and what we do in FA will also go far in affecting draft day decisions or trade attempts........

If Rivers is let go, and we pick up one or 2 solid vet OL in FA and maybe a vet run stuffing DT, then it will be pretty obvious Chargers will draft or trade up for the QB they want........

Maybe true...... I agree Hebert will blow up the combine........ but like many who have done that will fail in NFL because he is missing something great QB's have.......

could he blow up so much that CIN decides to take Hebert over Burrow???... at beginning of season, many mocks had Herbert to Tua as top pick.........

MIA was said to be loving Tua so much that they were tanking for him........ with Tua available, would MIA take him leaving us Burrow?

of course every pick Burrow would drop would make that pick a huge target for teams like Chargers, NE, PIT, TB, CAR, OAK, ... or others to trade up for......

and it would also figure that with the Chargers history of drafting or signing injured players, Charger would leap to draft him and Tua would fit right in........ has he ever played a full season anywhere?

Ive seen a decent amount of mock drafts with Thomas still sittin there waiting at pick #6.Of course knowin my team even if he was TommyJohn would probably pass.

I don't believe ANY team woukd tank so they can draft a certain player. If that were true they would have left Rosen as their QB and not Fitz

But,....could they take Tua at 5? Sure, why not. I'm not crazy about Tua or Herbert at 6. Only Burrow that early but that isn't likely to happen.

played through nagging injuries
some believe (myself included) his hip injury occurred partially because his mobility was compromised by playing through an ankle injury.

[blueman]

Ideal for him he goes to a team where he can sit for a year...hey, we got Taylor!

exactly. Tyrod, Stick and Tua.
Tyrod is a good mentor (professionality, similar size/mobility) for Tua.
rehab and learn the playbook.
meanwhile, all our key players know Tua is the heir, and will be less tempted to jump ship in FA
