And lost Oweh. That position ranks as high to me as IOL to others. FA leftovers won’t help so it has to be addressed at the top of the draft.

The odds Mack and Tuli will be injury free all season are dicey too and I have no confidence in Kennard or Dupree.

A lot more talent needed and so few picks. Hortiz has to pull a lot more rabbits out of the hat.

The difference is that there is more supply of usable players. IOL was scrapping the bottom of the barrel even before players were signed. There are still a number of serviceable player at edge, even after 4 days of FA.

Edge is also deep in this draft class. Hoping to come away with some combo of Edge/OL/DT in the first three rounds this year.

Robert Mays and the others start talking about the Guard market at the 21:45 mark.

The dude in the LSU hat is an idiot. Just throw money at an OG because the optics are bad is just dumb. He wants Hortiz to overpay for an OG and doesn't care if it doesn't work out because the optics are bad. So, Hortiz's overpays for an OG to protect Herbert and if he doesn't work out Herbert still gets killed and lose money but hey at least Hortiz did something and spent stupidly.

Playmaker refresh? Hampton, Vidal, Gadsen, Q, Harris, KLS, Ladd...how much fresher can you get? All on Rookie contracts...except Vidal as UDFA...but he is only yr 3...

Maybe we should give these young playmakers a chance...with an actual oline, and an innovative offensive scheme...before we "refresh" them...

An example of our #1 need now is a receiver who can make plays downfield, via speed and separation, ala Tyreek (hold your nose, and make sure he passes the physical.) Another example is a receiver who consistently wins at the catch point downfield, ala Mike Williams, Mike Evans or Denzel Boston.. Alex Pierce does both.

We have shown interest in this type, as have many other teams. Which leads to this. The coming NFL trend on defense will be to mimic the Seahawks. Light boxes, Two High Safeties, cloud coverages, umbrella, what ever you call it. Up front it's waves of rushers. We need a DT who can anchor + pressure ala Byron Murphy II , Quinnen Williams, Jeffery Simmons, or Kayden McDonald. We also need EDGE to give us depth, or waves.

BTW I am gonna need those TP Reports by next week...

[Charge!]

Hill will not be a Charger!..... Spanos does not allow woman abusers on this team!

The Seahawks brought their corner effectively on a number of blitzes. Unlike Minter, O'Leary is thought to be fond of blitzing from anywhere

[jamrock]

The hat Oweh came out of should do. Oweh was nobody until he played for the Chargers.

Oweh's FA market if he stayed at Baltimore last season would have been in the $5-$7 range. We made that sucka rich

This is Mike McDaniels team now

I want that specific receiver type.
It will probably be a burner for McD, to make our offense hum like early '25 Colts offense.
One C/G.

I see our DB groups as OK.
Hit it serious at EDGE/DT for O'Leary.
As you indicate we must.

[Charge!]

does not affect ethics!

can you legitimately support a player who abuses women????? I can't!.... most of the Chargers podcasts can't.... many other fans cannot!

No way Harbaugh wants a bad person like that on his team!

[CanadianBoltFan]

This is what I think happens. First 2 rounds will be DT and Edge, then maybe an IOL in the 3rd. I do think they trade back in the 1st.

Unless they don't get Teller or Bitonio...then I don't think you can leave IOL until round 3

[Jack Burton]

Even if we don't, I still think it's going to be defensive heavy draft. Been saying this for a while. At this point I feel the Chargers will either draft a WR if one of the top ones fall or if they don't sign/trade for one or they will take Thieneman in the 1st. I could see something like Thieneman rnd1 and Ted Hurst rnd 2. Hurst would be a perfect fit in McD's offense, IMHO.

Wow. Thieneman, huh? Interesting. Hurst is a solid WR. I think you've been high on him for a while, man. He’s good.
