2024 Chargers Roster Build Discussion - Transactions | News

[Leslie Grossman]

I think a scenario that can play out is that the Cardinals trade with the Vikes, get the two 1st round picks. Then the Cardinals take 11, trade it to the Chargers along with two 3rds for the 5th overall pick. They take MHJ at 5.

Could see it, or the very rare 3 team trade.

I agree with everything you said here. But some are calling for Harbaugh and Hortiz to be fired for making this trade. That's downright ridiculous.

Seau with the Dolphins and Patriots. Rivers with the Colts. LaDainian Tomlinson with the Jets. It happens. Time to move on.

I thought the OP that started that thread was 100% joking. I added a troll post to it.

Agree with you - they have a plan, they are in the first inning of execution and some nuts are pulling their hair out like its opening day.

Thats light on the draft value chart. Whats better - both 3s or their first 2 at 35?

Yep...agree...two 3rd rounders, as Kevin on Shark Tank would say, is not enough to wet my beak...if the Cards can get #11, I would trade down for that pick PLUS #35 AND #66...if the Cards squawk about that, I tell them give me #71 instead of #66 and that's my FINAL OFFER...if the Cards are so desperate to trade up, let 'em squirm...

I like that deal. I liked 11 and 23 more but … oh well

Trader Joe needs to play hardball...a #5 is a premium pick...several elite players will be there...u want it, u gotta pay extra...if not, it's "hold on, I got a call on another line..."

That there is the ultimate in trade-down mania. They could even trade all of their 7ths for more future 7ths and just go pure UDFA. There is a balance - a team needs workhorses but great teams almost always have some great players making great plays.

Exactly. I am not against trading down but it better be WAY over paid for, whatever that so called value chart reads? Double it at a minimum or no dice. Gotta take great players, you need the superstars when you have the chance to get them.

If we were to pull the trigger on the 5 for the 11 & 23 realistically-

@11 maybe Bowers would be there, probably one of Dallas Turner, Terrion Arnold, Latu and Fuaga may all be on the board!

@23 OC Jackson Powers, DT Newton, DB Nate Wiggins, DB Kool Aid, S Cooper DeJean, DE Byron Murphy, OG/OC Graham Barton may be on the board!

We don't need production there??? Wha, whaaa, WHAAT?"

See signature.

I Like that as well,...so we still have possibilities for getting 11 and extra picks. Hopefully AZ really wants MHJ and let's us know about that plan before they make that deal with Minnesota.

Dielman and Gates were UDFA. I like this idea.


Someone should pound the table a few times, too.

and.... being notoriously in favor of trenchmen more oft than not.... what's your call ?? do you have one yet.... ??

I never expected them to trade KA away. So now we are missing our two best WR. What's the right move now?

So, I ask myself; if we take an OT to replace Pipkins, how much better would the team be? If we stay put and take the best WR left, how much better will the team be? I guess it comes down to how bad is Pip? The third option, trade down, is a crap shoot. You could end up with two new starters or you could miss on both of them.
