    Three QBs. Burrow, Tua, Herbert.
    Three OTs. Thomas, Wills, Wirfs.
    Four defensive difference makers.
    Young, Okudah, Brown, Simmons.
    Two WRs. Jeudy, Lamb. (huge plus for us if say Jeudy goes top 5.)

    Is it possible for the Chargers to fail at 6 ?
    Yes it is possible.

        According to this article, over the past 7 years, first round draft picks have a 53% success rate so it's roughly 50-50 if we screw up or not:

        Evaluating NFL talent at the college level is nearly impossible; if only 53% of first-round picks are ultimately successful, how can we do better? Vincent Richardson tries to take you through his process and how he tries to eliminate the biases that plague all evaluations.

              Just the facts. There is a big chance half those players don't pan out.
              Which ones remains to be seen. But I'll start with Herbert.

                Yes, I realize there's that difference...but the basic premise is similar...in 2004, the Gnats in essence moved up from #4 to #1 to get Eli, whom the Bolts had picked...but AJ Smith demanded and got a king's ransom: the Gnats 04 3rd rounder, (Kaeding) their 05 FIRST rounder (Merriman), even their 05 fifth rounder, later traded away. That's a lot to give up to move up just a few slots. If TT is entertaining any thoughts of moving up from #6 to #2, the price will be roughly similar...if it's from #6 to #4, depending on how much they play hardball, a bit less, but still substantial...a fourth rounder won't cut it...

                  Imagine had we drafted mahomes instead of Williams, he’d be primed to start this coming season. Must be nice

                    Imagine if we had drafted TB12 instead of Shannon Taylor. We’d have what 6 Lombardi trophies?

                      I’m happy standing pat at 6
                      I’ve said for months now that I believe Tua will be there and even expect Herbert to go before our pick after he blows away the combine.
                      no need to trade up or down
                      as big a Tua fan I am, I’m happy going defense or OT if I’m wrong and Tua goes early.

                          So if that's true then probably takin OT in the first.Could be wrong though but wouldn't be too upset if we were able to get Thomas and then From or Eason 2nd.
