LAC 2021 Draft - Value, Reaches and Steals

[Topcat]

Raiders didn't do so hot...long live Chuckie and Mikey!

We may have got a DUDE in UDFA - Jared Goldwire to compete for/fill this role

6-6 and 305#...that's some serious beef for our D-line, and I like that he's a good run-stuffer...

Huge improvement in 2020 vs 18 & 19.
Leaner, quicker, found his consistent motor, violent hands.
Needs more good mass/muscle development to increase power & anchor and technique work with hands/leverage/passrush arsenal.

Here’s our grades from another place. We did really well and were ranked third overall:

Look at that. The same teams on the top (CHI) and bottom (HOU) that I mentioned in a post in a different thread yesterday. Maybe I am not completely crazy after all.

Do you think he can play as a 3-4 DE if we are using such players in Staley's scheme? He has length and is not completely slow for a DL player.

I think his ideal base position is a 5T/4I but could play anywhere from T2T.

Looks like Mikey needs to stick with fantasy football analysis.

Chuckie might want to hit the eject button if Rodgers goes to denver. Would you want Mahomes, Rodgers, and Herbert in your divsion?

Ranking NFL NFL Draft classes from 1 to 32: Eagles, Browns, Lions and Bears top Dane Brugler’s list

5. Los Angeles Chargers

1	13	Rashawn Slater, OT, Northwestern
2	47	Asante Samuel Jr., CB, Florida State
3	77	Josh Palmer, WR, Tennessee
3	97	Tre' McKitty, TE, Georgia
4	118	Chris Rumph II, LB, Duke
5	159	Brenden Jaimes, OT, Nebraska
6	185	Nick Niemann, LB, Iowa
6	198	Larry Rountree III, RB, Missouri
7	241	Mark Webb, CB/S, Georgia

Favorite pick: Rashawn Slater, OT, Northwestern
Call it luck or call it smart process, the Chargers could have been pressured to trade up for the quarterback last year or the left tackle this year. But they stayed put both years and landed Justin Herbert and Slater. Regardless, job well done by Tom Telesco and his staff.

Day 3 pick who could surprise: Brenden Jaimes, OT, Nebraska
I loved what the Chargers did on Day 3, especially with Rumph and Niemann. But the value of Jaimes (pronounced HYME-iss) outside the top-150 picks was outstanding. Nebraska has a vast history of producing offensive lineman, but none started more consecutive games than Jaimes, who should at-worst be a rock-solid swing tackle. With Slater and Jaimes, the Chargers remade the tackle depth chart in one draft.

Anyone who’s participated in a fantasy draft knows that special feeling you get when a player you love surprisingly falls in your lap. The NFL version of that is what happened with GM Tom Telesco in the first and second rounds.

It was no secret that the Chargers needed a left tackle entering draft weekend. They were able to stay put and take Northwestern’s Rashawn Slater at 13. Then in the second round, they were able to grab playmaking corner Asante Samuel Jr., who should be a perfect fit for Brandon Staley’s zone-heavy scheme.

This is a talented roster without a lot of holes. If Justin Herbert makes a second-year leap, look out. The Chargers could become a trendy Super Bowl pick by the time September rolls around.

Grade: B+

SEC, B1G, ACC, that’s some nice waters to go fishing in.
