    BTW Deculus is gone.
    I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.

      I would LOVE to be wrong but with these 4 players i just can't see it.

      My post was meant to start a real constructive draft discussion. Wrong thread i guess though
      In the draft projections I've looked at Fano goes early a Lot. Ioane makes 22 in about half., Lomu frequently.
      Pregnon was ranked over Ioane at this time last year. I'd be fine with him at 22.

        Lomu is a possibility i didn't mention yes and he could be there at 22. Seems like a LT but they could probably switch him.

        By the end of April i will be beaten down enough with o line paranoia that i will probably happily accept Pregnon at 22

          What's funny is most of this forum wanted Hortiz to sign Becton on Day 1 of free agency last and for a longer contract. He waited until later in the week and gave him a short-term contract that allowed us to release him with little cap ramifications this offseason if he didn't work out. Thank goodness Hortiz is the general manager. With the members of this forum making the personnel decisions, we'd be in cap hell worse than Telesco put is in.
          I was a skeptic but he did play well in Philly. Must have been a Roman want.

          Ive seen panic from here this year with now added desperation.

          I'm with some of you that we were going to add a couple good Vet OL and was surprised at the OGs we signed. Knowing Penning is depth but don't like Pip being depth and don't care for Strange so I'm with you there but now we being desperate wanting bottom tier guys like Teller. ....who I said I didn't want from day 1.

          Now I'm hoping we draft a OG and get another post draft. It will come together

          Trading for AJ Brown is a fantasy. Signing Pierce or Evans would of cost Hortiz no picks.

            Since ages ago. I honestly can't remember. I can't recall a better trade down draft day scenario to pick up some draft capital.

            Wonder what the price would be. Their 27 #1 and a 2nd rd swap and a mid rounder?

              So the reason the Chargers keep losing playoff games is solely Justin Herbert. Based on the last two years, they would be a 6 win team without Herbert each year depending on the QB
              Hortiz , the front office, the coaching staff has failed the team in playoffs 100 fold over Herbert
              Didn't say that at all. The defense played well enough to win the last two playoff games. The offense as a whole sucked, and that includes Herbert, who looked like Kerry Collins against the 2000 Ravens when we lost to the Texans and John Elway against the 1989 49ers when we lost to the Patriots.

                    Hortiz can't trade for players AND develop them. Devlin blew it with Count Deculus. And we had such high hopes.

                        I am just laughing as Austin Deculus would be Greg Roman's fault, on the other hand this year's lack of IOL upgrades is a vision of OC and GM l, schemes fit thing that will cover for lack of talent...

                          I have a hard time seeing Ioane make it past the Steelers at 21 - unfortunately.
