Prediction....... Bolts actually do roll with Taylor. and.... Tua falls. I kinda sorta agree in that I think the Bolts really are willing to have Tyrod Taylor start, but lately my gut is that they will sign Cam Newton after the draft! And I still think Tua is taken early- either at #3 in a trade up (not us!), or at #5 to the Dolphins staying put. yep. I think the bolts are eying Tua. If he is not there they go taylor

But QB hell... remember Those flames are not ignorable No franchise QB certainly, but I think Taylor won't be terrible, and giving him an o-line will be nice. Won't surprise me to see a QB drafted either, 3rd to 5th round. It will just depend on who is there obviously.

This has been hinted at on here, but what if the Chargers really like Pipkins and plan to start him at Left Tackle? Based on his play last season, none of us fans are willing to say out loud that Pipkins will be a great LT this year. But he was drafted in the THIRD round (not 6th or 7th) and he did play ~average-ish~ late in the year and perhaps he's been improving in the offseason... giving the Chargers the belief he'll be the player they envisioned he would develop into when they drafted him. Which could also explain the willingness to start Tyrod Taylor- a mobile QB!

Which could also explain the willingness to start Tyrod Taylor- a mobile QB! It’s reasonable. The Chargers are weakest and have the least invested in LB, that’s our greatest position of need. At OT we have Bulaga for 2 years and invested a 3rd in Pipkins knowing he needed a lot of development. At DT we have Joseph for 2 years and invested a 1st in Tillery on the other side. At QB we have Taylor who has a few solid years under his belt as a starter while providing the ball security and mobility that Lynn covets. At LB we have Perryman for a year and Tranquil. In order of need I’d say it’s LB, OT, QB, DT. In order of positional value I’d say it’s QB, OT, LB/DT. So we’re not going DT at 6, the rest just comes down to what happens before we pick and simple player evaluation. I’ll bet the front office is hoping either Tua or Simmons are available at 6. The consolation prize is gonna be an OT. There’s a small chance TT and crew have a guy rated higher than everyone else and take him based on talent, or we get a great offer to trade down, but nothing else makes sense. I love Tua but I think my favorite scenario is Simmons at 6 and Cam after the draft. Edit: forgot CB. It’s a weird situation with Harris and Casey both getting long in the tooth. They’re both savvy enough to be great players for several more years but it’s a concern. King and Harris are both more effective on the inside. Davis is just ok, but he is young and cheap. There’s an opening here for Okudah despite the plethora of talent.

There’s an opening here for Okudah despite the plethora of talent. Tua is off my board, too many concerns. Simmons would be a run to the podium moment, but I just do not see him dropping to 6th. A surprise player that the Bolts have rated very high....perhaps, but it is based on evaluations. Okudah, if drafted, would be the best CB on the team.....instantly. Bolts would be very solid in the CB area......

So they get rid of lead foot at qb after all these years cuz they won’t a mobile qb and now they’re going to spend #6 on an OT? I’ll throw up |
