2026 Draft Superthread And Draft Prospect Discussion

[electricgold]

Alt and Slater on the left
Freeling and Strange on the right ?
If you want to protect Herbert's blind side, you got it !
But the right side seems not safe to me.

Nah... After we drafted Freeling, Id follow it up with Keylon Rutledge...

Alt, Slater, Biadasz, Rutledge, Freeling That could be a solid Oline.

This still feels like DT pick in the 1st. Looks like I am circling back to McDonald.

I don't know why people are still stuck on an OG in the 1st rnd. The Chargers have proven that they don't have a high value on the OG position and it's not a high priority. If it were, they would have spent the money on one when they had 100m in cap space. I don't see why that is so hard to understand.

Nah... It will be OL-DL in the first two or DL-OL
Unless Sadiq or T. Simpson is there for a trade down

You’re out of your element, Donny

Just treat my remains/ashes with some respect in my next incarnation, Walter.

A Coffee Can! Well ok...but a Folger's Coffee Can?!

[YAC]

He looked very good at the Alabama Pro Day--carries 360# well.

Kadyn can carry that 360 pounds, plus some water for my team any day. As a 4th round pick.

I have finally realized the same thing. Ioane could change their minds if he was there though but I think they prefer to use first on more premium positions...edge. WR, CB,

I just cant get into McDonald, really uninspiring to me to use our first on a run stuffer over edge...or at least a DT that can rush the pocket from inside. I mean I know he is a good player but not a very exciting pick and I think we need a 3rd edge rusher more, the defense got a lot better when they had a 3rd rusher and Mack is 35

McDaniel doesn't value Gs, but I assume that both Harbaugh and Hortiz still do. All 3 of their jobs will be riding on offensive improvement and Herbert's survival. So can JH2 just override McDaniel, and do they even want to?

Lomu > Proctor....Lomu is Joe Alt lite....I would take another quality Tackle in this draft if they're still on the board before even a guard unless someone stellar slips to us at #22.

It’s not like they spend a ton on DTs either … they seem fine with plug n play journeymen …

They seem to value Edge and CB the most on defense. Both are also high value / cost FA positions. Just guessing like everyone else, of course …

The draft is typically a group decision...the Bolts have their big board, and McD has had a ton of input on O big board players even before the draft...now, when they get on the clock for #22, if McD is banging the table for a particular player, and it's close between the O player McD wants and a D player, I'm guessing they go with the O player...
