Assembly work has begun today for the NFL Draft in Las Vegas. Looks like it will be pretty cool but .....it's going to be crowded.

Hate to bring up the c-word but Covid is ticking upward. Stay safe fellow Bolts.

Well, don't, as Covid discussions are not permitted anyway, until further notice. (but I have no worries, I take normal precautions.)

Ok my bad.

On a separate note while watching the draft on TV. I find it very very irritating they have very short clips of Chargers' picks. Especially the 1st round. Fans are waiting for an hour into the show and they give a mere minute or sometimes seconds to display our pick then cut to commercial.

We get no respect at all

Yeah, seems like it for sure. A long block of commercials just before the pick, or after. However, I think they have set packages for a number of guys that they think are going to be drafted earlier, and face it, the Chargers often pick some guy out of the blue (or so it seems to the talking heads who have nothing...). The draftniks here have a better idea than the Mel Kiper's of the world.

So true. Seems they always go to a commercial when its our pick coming up. Bolts need to win consistanatly to get some respect being in LA.

Hey, Mel Kiper won me a Chargers cap here.

I saw the Red Carpet stage on a live stream yesterday... they floated a stage just in front of the fountain jets at the Belagio.. all that for about 20 draftees. At the Draft Stage, the VIP section has the Raiders and Rams at the front (No 1st round picks), but the rest of the division right next to them, the Chargers right behind the Raiders section. The Strip will be closed to private traffic between Belagio Ln and Flamingo, and Flamingo road closed between the Strip and Coval.

Good guide for those who may be going: https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/nfl-draft/

Well, Bosa, James, Herbert, Slater aren't exactly "out of the blue" picks.
