2023 Official Charger Draft - Post Draft Discussion (Daily Links In OP)

Just came on here to say go noles.

I want to see more of the other tight end, Darnell Washington. At 6-7, 270, that's quite a threat if he has the skills to match.

He isn't the play making TE Bowers is. He may even end up a OT if he keeps getting bigger. Bowers can block and a threat in the passing game.

I guess Georgia runs four deep at the position. That's something.

Georgia’s ridiculous TE talent


The furthest Georgia coach Kirby Smart was willing to go Saturday night was to acknowledge his team had “good depth” at the tight end position.

In reality, Smart’s tight ends might be the most talented position group on any team, in any conference. Smart has Brock Bowers, Darnell Washington, Arik Gilbert and Oscar Delp — the first three on that list are almost certain to be high draft choices, and the fourth, a true freshman, could one day join them on that level.

Washington was a one-man wrecking crew early in Georgia’s 49-3 romp over No. 11 Oregon. The massive 6-7, 270-pounder not only runs like a receiver — and can split out wide for Georgia — but also flashes truly dominant stretches as a run blocker. The first quarter of Saturday’s game was littered with clips of Washington knocking people over, on the line and in space.

He threw a crushing lead block on a swing pass, which sprung a pass 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage for a gain of 17 and a first down. On the next series, he sliced across the formation on a play-action flat concept, then tossed a linebacker en route to a full-sprint hurdle on a 25-yard reception. The latter was as impressive a play as you were likely to see all weekend.

Washington did have a drop when a ball hit him in the face mask — he’s still working on getting his massive hands out in front of the ball rather than letting it get into his body. Still, Washington started the game alongside Bowers (who’s the team’s best tight end despite being just a true sophomore).

Interestingly enough, Delp cracked the lineup against Oregon before Gilbert, No. 19 on Brugler’s preseason board and a player who’s considered the most dynamic of Georgia’s positional group. All four of these guys are getting drafted, eventually, but only Washington and Gilbert will be eligible for the coming year. And in more competitive games, Georgia might opt to shorten its bench, meaning someone gets squeezed out of the rotation. This could be the most-watched position battle of the 2023 draft evaluation cycle.

Sewell not a factor today as Georgia is kicking the snot out of Oregon.

Watched Penn st vs Purdue on Thursday night and watching a couple games today.....the tackling in college is so bad!

SDSU's new stadium is half empty and their tackling is atrocious.
SDSU needs to recruit a good QB. Haven't had one for a while now.

That's a bit misleading.
Temperature at kickoff (noon) was 100+ degrees. It was reported that many attendees left seats to seek shade.
Attendance was listed @ 34,000+.
Snapdragon seats 35,000.

Maybe they counted seats sold. There is no way there were 34k at that game if it holds 35k. Sideline shots there were barely any fans in the background and full shots, it looked pretty empty to me. Im sure the heat did have a factor though.

Its like what the SF Giants do. They say the game is sold out (according to them, had a string of consecutive sold out games) and i saw empty seats all the time when they are on TV playing us. Especially this year since they suck but i dont know if they are claiming that this year.

I rode the trolley down to Old Town today and decided to hop off at the stadium and check it out. I ran into a security guard... who worked the game on Saturday. He said everyone came out to the pavilion to get in the shade. Apparently, they have a bunch of TV's out there, too. Many fans watched TV's in the shade and from the bars out on the pavilions. Except for the lack of shade, the stadium looks really cool. I'm gonna see if I can get out there for the next game (@5pm).

Noah Sewell absolutely exposed by Georgia's speed. Manti Teo vs Alabamaesque. Not going in the top 50 me thinks.

Lacks height and length, heavy feet, slow to change direction and one dimensional. Appears different player than last season.

Wow. That’s a brutal review. San Diego went cheap again.

You don't see empty seats in the south on those hot, more humid days. San Diegans are spoiled lol.

But I get it, isn't normally like that.
Going to have to schedule them later in the PM is all, which I think they usually do.

I believe the school paid for that stadium but not 100% sure.
