Official Charger Season Discussion - News - Roster Moves - Injuries

TRUE TE? No. One-of-a-kind Chargers TE in Moore's offense? Yes.
I like Washington, Kincaid, Mayer in no particular order, let the draft board and Moore sort them out but draft one.
..and if Bijan is there, take him.Go downstream for TE.

I don't advocate a position change for Darrell but one of my favorite players, "Dirty" Dielman played TE in college before he moved to DT and Marty moved him to OG.

And thats cool. I dont need much of an excuse to go get Bowers in 2024 lol. Washington with some added weight could be a very good OT imo and mentioned that a few times. He would be a lighter version of Trent Williams who ran a 4.81 40 at 315 lbs.

IF we don't get Bijan, the only other 3 backs Id be happy with in this draft initially are Gibbs, Zach Evans, or Chase Brown! The UCLA RB was a great college RB but unsure he'll be all that at the pro-level.

The closest RB I've seen in style to LT or LTesque is Roshon. It's like he;s his younger brother in some ways with his fluidity, Speed in accelerating thru holes when he sees a lane. I;m not saying he's the NEXT LT but he certainly reminds me of him in his running style.

Comments like this is why I can't help you. Some people are good at math, or music, or painting etc. etc. etc. You do not have any skills in evaluating RBs. Kelly is still twice the RB of Spiller.

OK, we'll see. I dont need your help and not asking for it. Im also not a scout but ive done pretty well when ive dug in on players i like. Always admitted im not one to focus on OL much.
Never said Spiller was a great one.
He wasnt on my radar last year as i liked other RBs better but im just saying im not passing a final judgement on him after his rookie year after he had the high ankle sprain but you do what you think you know.

Kelly has 2 years in the NFL on Spiller who didnt miss any injury time and he stunk as a rookie so thats just a moronic comment imo.

LOL! You have 1 RB that is a for sure #1 RB... Bijan. But let's face it... he's going to Chicago or Philadelphia.
Gibbs and Achane are RBBC types... and then you have A BUNCH of RB's that have very little separation (depending on which pundit has your ear)...
The Chargers met with Kendre Miller (hence by hypothetical).
The current roster looks like RBBC is the philosophy...
The one RB that looks like a #1 RB (not named Bijan) could be Zach Charbonnet... if he slipped to the 3rd round...

My personal favorites for 1st/2nd round are CB and EDGE.
There is zero reason to become enamored with a RB... and over-draft said RB... IMO.

You need help my friend. Zach Charbonnet is like an over sized TE/Halfback or such. You have no skills.

LOL, when did you suddenly become the forum draft guru? Did you take an online class or something? Did Chain take over your account?

QSmokey, keep an eye on this guy for traits of Chain lol.

Im kidding...sort of.

Had the Chargers drafted my guy Isaiah Mitchell a couple of years ago... we wouldn't even be having this conversation.
I know you're desperate when you start mentioning Roschon and LT in the same sentence... LOL! Even Bijan isn't LT.

In my lifetime.... Barry Sanders, Eric Dickerson, Marshal Faulk, Walter Payton, LT, Emmitt Smith, Bo Jackson, John Riggins and everyone else! Bijan could be a great RB but to think he is going to match LT though not impossible, we just need a RB who can reach an over 1000 yards/10 TD season on the ground per average for the next 5 years!

[Lefty2SLO]

Why not? Use him sparingly there, but if yer looking for a power short-yardage RB, El Condor is the man...if yer an opposing LB, who would u rather tackle on 4th and 1: Kelley or 6-7, 270# "El Condor" Washington?

I guess he could FALL forward for 2 yards . . . . . . . .

I liked Elijah Mitchell too but he was listed at 215 lbs during the college season on draft sites but was 201 lbs at his pro day (didnt run at combine). Now he is listed at 200 lbs on the Niners site and been injured often so we would be in this convo. He has been productive but missed many games.

Are there any "real" MLBs left in the NFL?

Which is why Bijan in the 1st makes so much sense. The old snotknockers whose job was to slow down the running game are pretty much gone from the game. The smaller speed ILBs don’t have as much stopping power as the older generation of ILBs did. So that’s an area that can be attacked.

Front 7 specialist?

[Formula 21]

Pinkett was wrong on his speed but if he likes Addison that much I'm sure he won't get past Pittsburgh if he gets that far.
I don't expect him to get to us.

I have trouble seeing PITT draft anything but OL in the 1st.
