Spoiler rule...

Charger picks will have their own thread for initial analysis... same rule applies, don't post until the pick is announced.

The draft is here, the draft is here!!!!! I am so happy to dispense with silly season. I have read probably 200 mocks since the end of the season, some I agreed with and some I question if they were taking stupid pills. I think the trade down scenario is going to happen for us and the best plausible scenario that I like is 5 for 11, 23 & a 2025 3rd. I like it as it seems realistic. I have read trade scenarios postulated that boggle my mind. My favorite "areyoufugginkiddinme" trade was 5 for 11, 23 a 2025 1st AND Justin Jefferson. Yeeeaaahhhhh hoooookay.......... That's how a GM would get fired on draft day.

I think if we pull the trigger with Minny I see us go OT and the CB. I like Fuaga/DeJean but have seen Fautanu/Wiggins mock as well. Either way I like the combo of getting Justin and the run game more beef AND helping the CB room in the same round.

Thoughts for round one are I will not be surprised to see 11 - 12 OL go round 1 with a couple of centers in the mix (Powers-Johnson and Frazier). I would be mildly surprised but not upset if both the Broncos and Raiders pass on a round 1 QB. I would also not be surprised to see one or both jump up to try and get QB4 or 5 off the board. It will make for a very interesting first round. While I know Bowers won't go top 5, I believe there is no way he gets past 10, maybe 7 to the Titans or even the Giants at 6. I mean, who wouldn't want that man beef on their line of scrimmage. Would I be upset if we dropped 5 on him? Nope as I have watched literally every game of his at JoJa and have drooled over the prospect of him in powder blues. My last thought is that I do not want to see Ladd McConkey in the AFC West. He has been mocked a ton to the Chiefs, and I would just rather not have to deal with him 2 or possibly 3 times a year if we could avoid it.

Well let's bring it Joe & Jim. I am on board with whatever they do..........It is TIME for a new era to shine!!!!!

We're going trench warfare and we're going to love it.

My head/heart/gut all say OL, be it with a trade down or not.

[Ghost of Quacksaw]

If the pick at #5 is Alabama RT J.C. Latham (as currently rumored), I can't help but notice the irony, that Tom Telesco's first ever pick as Chargers' GM was Alabama RT D.J. Fluker.

I'm great with selecting an O-lineman... but AFTER-- and only after-- trading down.

Would love to do so but I don't think Hortiz will get a good enough offer he likes. So we should all be prepared for any of the OL at #5...

[Kellyb72601]

No trade down, Mccarthy falls. Napa, Californias own Brock Bowers stays on the west coast & becomes our next hall of fame tight end. Harbaugh will get up there and say, "There was never a doubt!" 15 years from now people wlll wonder why there was ever a doubt.
