If Hayward has a down year we save nearly 10 mil but trading or releasing him after this season. His cap hit will be nearly 12 mil

RapSheet is making it seem like Trent Williams could be traded. The Chargers have the cap space to manipulate a deal. Who knows, a 3rd plus Des King might work. or a 3/5 .
I think the Chargers will get either Trent or Peters IF they do not draft OL in 1st round
Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

I agree. I used to be the guy that waited until the 5th/6th/7th round on WR... because this is a deep draft @ WR.
But recently I got back to considering how to make this offense click again... even if Tyrod is our starter next year. The guy I settled on was KJ Hamler. Hamler replaces the deep speed we lost in Benjamin. Hamler also replaces the drag routes we used to throw to Tyrel Williams so effectively. And Hamler is a PR/KR option also.
Imagine having Hamler and Eke in the slot. MW and KA outside. Put Eke in motion pre-snap, and you have an option to hand it to Eke (Deebo-style) or hit him in the flat as a receiver. Meanwhile, you have Hamler in the opposite slot running a slant/drag to opposite side of Eke and have to consider Hamler's big play speed (4.30) while deciding who your safeties will help over the top with (KA or MW). And since I've only mentioned 4 playmakers (+QB and 5 OL)... chose whether you want to include HH pressing the deep seam or a RB out in the flats to opposite side of EKe (same side as Hamler's drag route). Defenses would have a lot to think about. I would hate to scheme against that offense...
We need some elite speed at WR...Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

Joe Thomas on the top 4 OTs: he ranked them in this order for the Browns
Mehki Bechton: "I still have him as 1a because of his ceiling, and I don't see anything that a great OL coach can't correct"
Jedrick Wills: (ranked as 1b) "Pros; change of direction, ability to create power, ability to stop power quickly, mobility, technique is clearly the best in the draft, size
Cons; if you watch a lot of his tape, he has had some mental lapses with penalties and getting lulled to sleep by lesser opponents"
Andrew Thomas: Thomas calls Thomas a good athlete with good technique, just that he isn’t quite as polished in run blocking and pass protection as the first two
Tristan Wirfs: "Wirfs Pros; extremely strong and powerful, smart, tough, good technique; Wirfs Cons; sometimes guys who have powerlifter lower body strength have "heavy" legs and you can see that on tape from Wirfs. His first step quickness and change of direction suddenness could be better. Overall, a great player who likely will be a tackle long term, but might be best suited to start at guard because of less than perfect mobility and suddenness. A mauler (good) but those types sometimes struggle to keep up with the athletes you see on the edge"

C'mon guys solve both of your problems (LT protection and WR depth/speed) with Ol' Nutty's mock... OT Thomas, WR Hamler...

[QUOTE=Bolt4Knob;n984596]
I like the idea of Hamler. Compared to Tyreek Hill (hopefully without the off field stuff). And yes, the Chargers need a person at WR that can move with the ball. Thats why I like Deebo Samuels - he was good with the ball. You bring up Tyrell too on those crossing drag routes. I don't think the Chargers need to go WR in R1 but they need one that is a different player than MW - who is your deep threat big target and your elite route runner in KA.[/QUOTE]
I agree.
