I think Lawrence has his Pro Day tomorrow. They do nothing at this point...... You are a believer, and if his efforts tomorrow are less than stellar, it won't change your mind. If he is stellar, it just confirms your thoughts. The opposite works for the non-believers..... Combine....at least gives medicals and interviews to teams. Pro days are just marketing for those that had less than at the combine, or were not invited. Minds are pretty made up by now, or should be.....

Yes. Yes. It is only because of ProDay diligence that Austin Ekeler is a Charger.

I'm trying to read the tea leaves here. Does the fact that we were in need at DT last season and have failed resign some of our DT's combined with the supposed better than average pool of DT's in this years draft indicate we'll be going early after a DT? Or, does it indicate TT thinks he can fill in the need at DT a bit latter in the draft? What do you guys think?

If they can't get the guy they like in the draft they will look at FA's. If they can't get the FA's they like, they will wait for cut downs from loaded teams. If they can't pick up a scrub off another team, they will pick off a bigger scrub during the season.

I sure hope they do better than pick up someone else's FA throwaway. I'm hoping they brought back Mebane to mentor a young DT they draft this year.

I believe TT intends to draft DT in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd depending on who is available when he's on the clock. Lot of good choices at DT - have to be balanced against OL & other position talent but he will draft DT early. 1st rd definitely if Oliver or Wilkins can be taken. The BFB Podcast reviews @ 12 DTs that might be a fit for us.

I'd be very surprised if Oliver and/or Wilkins are there. Do you think those DT's are stout enough to stop the run? Or do you believe that stopping the run is not that important?

question:
with Ingram Jones Bosa thats 3 good pass rushers, but as we saw O-lines double team Bosa / Ingram and it all goes away. So the question is should Chargers take another good pass rusher up the middle or someone who relieves the double team pressure off Bosa / Ingram?

Doesn't 'another good pass rusher' take away some of the pressure on Bosa and MI regardless of where that player plays ?

Personally I am hoping we do go for one of the stud DT's with our 1st round pick We have really lacked a push up the middle these last few years.
My choice would be Lawrence or Wilkins. Would love Jeffery Simmons but with his ACL injury he may not see any action this year and I'm not to sure how long our window with Rivers will remain open. To pick for "next year" like Dallas did with Jaylon Smith might pay off down road.

In answer to the original question, maybe a solid pass rushing ILB would be the way to go on draft day.....
