2021 Official Chargers Season Discusssion

If Ingram isn’t returning to us on a bargain deal then I hope he goes to the NFC instead. Or at least outside the division.

[Cdn Bolt]

So yeah, this is why it’s hard to take PFF seriously sometimes. King was not the third best coverage CB in 2019 and 2020. Two down years.
Edit: maybe we should get Sherrick McManis then since he’s 2nd overall since 2018 lol.

Fine. Down years from his probowl year perhaps lol. Is still better than what we have behind our starters now.

I am torn on Ingram. He didn't look good last year. But when the options are Dunlap, Houston and Kerrigan -- nobody is standing out
Low dollar, high incentive - maybe post draft
And again, Bosa is the the Edge rusher in this scheme. He is the Khalil Mack role. So who knows


Also, looks like Malik Hooker is signing in Dallas. Wonder if that means Xavier Woods will be on the market. Ricardo Allen signed with the Bengals. Maybe Staley is rolling with Naz Adderley but Woods could be an option at FS.

I would definitley kick the tires on Houston out of that group.

Apparently down enough that we signed Harris to push/replace him. He did not take the competition well. And a team is willing to put up with someone if he at least show it on the field. He apparently didn’t.

Apparently Tevi feels like he's worth more than $15/hour and a fruit basket.

Gavino says it is a tell about Pipkins.

I say it is a tell about the uncertainty of Bulaga's back.

:shock:

BTW didn't Sam have the sniffles a while ago ?
Something about the Chargers wanting to go in another direction.

:shock: :shock:

Harris was the top CB on the market and signed to be a starting CB. King played the slot - 3rd CB. And we don't know how much was his or mgmts fault. The pt is we need CBs and let a serviceable one go aside from who was more at fault. Either way we'll leave it at that.

I decided to look at the Rams 2020 roster of CB and S to see if we can see a pattern of how Staley may see the DB position. I found some interesting information. Here is the rams 2020 DB list:

Jalen Ramsey, 1st Rnd pick-Jacksonville
John Johnson (S) 3rd rnd pick, 4 yrs Exp
Troy Hill, Undrafted Free Agent (UFA), waived by two teams
Taylor Rapp (S), 2nd rnd pick 2019
Darious Williams, UFA, 3yrs exp
Levonta Taylor, UFA, Rookie(R), waived
Nick Scott (S). 7th rnd 2019
JR Reed (S), UFA Jacksonville
David Long, 3rd rnd 2019
JuJu Hughes (S), UFA 2020
Jordan Fuller, 6th rnd 2020
Tyrique Mcghee, UFA 2020
Jake Gervase, UFA, 2019
Donte' Deayon, UFA 2016

The Rams have a few quality pieces, otherwise they do not value high picks for the secondary. The Rams find many DBs through UFA and mid to late round picks. In fact, a lot of the players they are looking to keep and promote are UFA players. Given this list, lets look at what may happen during our draft. Staley has his joystick in Derwin (like the Rams Ramsey), Staley has his one corner in Davis to have on one side if Derwin is in another match-up. This gives Staley his foundation of the secondary. There is a real chance we are not going to use high picks for DBs. We may use later round picks and UFAs to fill this gap, and then coach them to the system. This means we may go in other directions with the 2-4th round picks.

I wanted to offer Hooker, shucks.


... Malik would have been nice too haha

Pretty sad if they couldn’t sign a guy they wanted who took not much money to leave

I think the new staff looked at the old roster and said half of this is trash. At some point they said, hey as a transition if we can have Tevi at 2.5 million or so lets keep him, otherwise we will find better or at least as good with a possibility of upside.
