2025 Official NFL Draft At Thepowderblues.com - Day 2, Rounds 2-3

[Charge!]

Is that db from Michigan falling to us?

That is another possibility.... how bad is he hurt?

[Charge!]

Hoping for a run on RB's and QB's in round 2 so more players we need drop! =)

DD is a PR/KR who is only on the field for gimmick plays

QJ has shown he is not a boundary vertical threat and is best used on crosses and bubble screens and the like. Maybe some digs - but sidelines, not his strength

MWill - needs to show he can play 12 games plays
Conklin - nice signing but he has his skill set. I like the signing but he is what he is

None of the players you listed above besides Ladd should stop the Chargers from trying to upgrade the X WR position and a long term answer at TE.

Again I ask, based not on personal preference, but Harbaugh concepts, what value is there in additional weapons ?

IMV not as much as yesterday.

I would not dismiss value in the specialized albeit limited tools we already have, including Dissly.

Nor would I underplay the value we place in WR blocking, which would bring up MW, QJ and maybe Keenan.

We'll see B4K, I suspect we liked Tet, maybe Golden somewhat, and who knows what juicy weapon is there at #55.

I have pivoted, post "Hammer" Hampton selection.

[Charge!]

After reading about OG in 2nd round, I revised my prognostication:

#2 Center/OG
#3 Edge depth to go with Mack, Tui, Dupree, Morris Brash/Collins
#4 WR (Deep draft...lots of 5' 10" guys remain that are good/fast, reliable) + KEENAN ALLEN. (Would have Ladd, Keenan, QJ, MDub, this #4 pick, DD)
#5 TE Gadsen (Stats/productivity greater than Loveland, Arroyo, Mason Taylor - An absolute STEAL here!)
#5 DT 464 Lb Watson
#6 LB depth (Dolec 6 sacks, 5 int; Simon 7 sacks)
#6 DT
#7 CB depth (we signed St Juste(1) and Jackson(2)....Still(3) and Hart(4) are depth.....Leanard is the #5 CB). This pick competes with Jasir Taylor.
#7 OT another body to compete w/ Pipkins, Tyler McClellan (high on McClellan -- had 6 yrs of college exposure at OT)

All areas covered on the team starting w/ trenches in Round #2, and #3. Mostly Ending in Trenches in #6 and #7

I just watched some Gadsen highlights.... like most highlights, he looks great.... so what are his flaws, why not a first rounder?...this question aoolies to most players.... lol

A bit on the fence with the selection of Hampton. Just my opinion, but think there are impactful RBs that will be around in rounds4/5. But I trust the Chargers brain trust. Would not have minded a ‘reach’ for Taylor @22. If there is no trade up in round 2 and no Taylor, would love Landon Jackson.

[Jack Burton]

Bad. He may only last a few seasons supposedly.

Gadsden is awesome but he’s basically just a flexed out WR. No blocking. Like a big X reciever. I don’t know if they’d like him in Romans offense. He’s good though.

When the Chargers are in an obvious passing situation - what player other than Ladd does the defense have to worry about?

I am all about getting a good running game but the Lions were able to still create mismatches in the passing game even with the solid 1/2 running back model.
Thats my vision: LaPorta, Amon Ra St Brown and the veritcal threat of Jameson Williams

That’s actually a really good point.

They’ve got to get a true inline TE and a WR. Or teams will just stack the box. DEN now has a seriously elite defense. They’ve added Barron, Hufunga and Greenlaw now. This is getting ridiculous

[Leslie Grossman]

I certainly want weapons like the lions have too, but the offensive line has to be done first the way they did it.
Last night confirms RBs before receivers, tonight we find out if TEs before receivers.

[Bolt4Knob]

That’s actually a really good point.

And though it is a need - I wouldn't mind if CBs went off the board too. Emmanwori is a safety. Maybe a couple LBs like the UCLA kid too

I doubt Higgins or Taylor are there - -but if one gets to the upper 40's - cash it in Joe and make a move
