    When you’re franchise QB is actively campaigning for his #1 target from college, it’s hard not to listen.

      But thats how you might get Mike Williams instead of say, DeShaun Watson.

      A franchise LT helps more than a WR. Reiff has a couple years - Sewell has 10

            Agree. But from an ownership and GM’s perspective they might care more about short term elevation. Reiff has about a 5M cap hit this year, so having that $ on the bench isn’t optimal.

            But they could get an immediate impact by drafting Pitts or Chase while still getting a RT of the future in the 2nd or 3rd, giving him a year to develop behind Reiff.

            If the Bengals want to invigorate their fan base and sell tickets, a flashy impact receiver that helps Burrow is the way to go.

            My crystal ball was blurry for a while, but now an image of Chase is materializing.
            Our quarterback is a golden god.

                The Broncos have a ton of needs and Fant. I don’t expect they’d take him. That said, Pitts is a freak, so I won’t fault any team for taking him. I would lean away from wanting the Chargers to take a WR at 13, but Pitts is something different. He’s actually a passable blocker, and he’s a freak athletically. He doesn’t fill a pressing need like LT or CB, but if we get him at 13 I’ll be very happy. And stunned. Because he shouldn’t fall our of the top 10.

                  Same projections. No date filled in or anything else. That is NOT trust worthy and as i said, his school didnt have a pro day so that why it isnt filled in.

                  So im gonna go by the actual measurements taken at University of Colorado Buffalos Proday which he was at.

                  You want to show otherwise, you need to find where he said he is 5'7" and post it. And i dont know why he would say he is 5'7", if he measured over 5'8", unless he had elevator shoes or inserts on like Kyler Murray probably had on lol.
                  He is closer to 5'9" than he is 5'7". Regardless, he is much stouter than Darden who is a measley 175 lb . I just doubt we are looking for a tiny WR.

                    We already have speedy undersized receivers on the roster. If we go WR in this draft we’ll take one with size and speed.

                      Priority #1 Protect your Franchise QB

                      Priority #2 Implement Staley’s Defense

                      2a. Secondary man coverage DB

                      2b. Pass rusher who compliments Bosa

                      2c. Safety versatility both against the run & pass

                      Priority #3 add depth @ positions of need that align w/BPA. OT/OG, DT/DE, OLB.

                      As a draft fanatic, someone who cherish the process, falling in and out of love with prospects for your team, you have to let go sometime and maximize draft capital to its fullest in order to build a complete roster. After the blue chip prospects fall off and all that remains are only slightly better than player just a few picks later @ position of need. You trade down. Teams will always want to trade up, especially early.

                      Key is trading that #13 pick for better value, later in first, 2nd and 3rd. Nobody knows who those trading partners will be but if you can lock down a player of need, OT/CB, let’s just say #17-#21 and pick up extra 2nd. Then just do it. If either of those 2nd’s looks like player coveted might go before that pick, you can trade back up with later rd 3rd. Or maybe 4th depending how for you want to jump ahead.

                      say all that to outline these for prospects that fit Chargers in first 3 rounds of the 2021 NFL Draft.

                      Trade 13th and 118 (4th) to Chicago for 20th and 52nd selections.
                      20th - Teven Jenkins, OT 6-6 320. Very definition of enforcer. Smart, tough, exceptional footwork, finishes every play of every down. Reminds me of a young Duane Brown.

                      47th - Carlos Boogy Basham, DE 6-5 280. 3-4 DE opposite Joey Bosa. Gives Staley pass rushing threat @ both ends.

                      52nd - Ifeatu Melifonwu, CB 6-3 213. Has size and speed to play boundary corner, drop down in slot or slide over as 3rd safety.

                      77th - Eric Stokes, CB 6-1 185. Press corner who adds slot depth, bolstering Staley’s secondary with much needed depth and playmaker.

                      97th - Tommy Tremble, TE 6-4 250. Need pick, to develop as future starting TE, who can block, chip on the edges, good route runner with reliable hands. Hopefully can turn into a Hunter Henry clone.

                        Thats what I am saying - I don't think he makes it past the Panthers to even get to the Broncos.

                        I just don't see him getting to the Chargers and I kind of hope he is picked - I want Tommy T to focus on LT and CB.

                          We dont have any undersized WR's. Tyron is undersized. He is 6'1", 193, Reed is 6", 224 lbs, Hill is 6', 195, Guyton 6'1", 212. And of course we know Keenan an MW size.

                          If we go WR , which we could or not.....there are several good sized recievers in this draft. Hec Scrachan as a late pick would be a nice one to develope. Fehoko is another, Watkins, Marlon Wiiliams, Imajujube...however you say his name lol.

                          Hec if we got Nico, thats'd be great if he fell for a steal. Not sure we go WR i just mock one anyways because it is a deep WR class and insurance if MW ends up wanting to test FA'cy.
