Melvin Gordon was a 1st round pick. I'll keep harping on it till April... We need a WR more. If nobody is there and Robinson is then fine, but we need a playmaker at the WR position. And MG's first 4-5 years he was wildly popular here too. If you don't like the way he left, that doesn't mean you never try again in all of time. I have you down as riding Roundtree. Hard. That's ok you can be disingenuous to fuel justification for a first round pick we don't need. Ekeler is fine and Kelley is getting better, he is already leaps and bounds better than Justin Jackson was. Nobody thinks Rountree has any kind of future on this team and will likely get cut... If YOU want to ride into this season with 7-8 games from KA and Mike Williams thats on you... Palmer is not the answer and nobody else comes close. We are 1-2 injuries from a decimated WR corps... But yea RB in the first.

Nobody expects Rountree to do anything but you use him as a reason to waste a 1st round pick on a RB. I know it and you know it my friend

Its like using Stick as a reason to take a QB in the first. Teams that have a RB like Ekeler do not take another RB in the 1st, show me a team that has.

There are other positions on a football team that have to be addressed. "Oh but Freak I fantasize about getting Justin Jefferson and watching him and Herbert "connect". I'm just sure that will fix the running game and the defense !!!" You will just have to get over it. REACT AS I VERBALIZE YOUR VERY INNER DESIRES !!!!!!!

REACT AS I VERBALIZE YOUR VERY INNER DESIRES !!!!!!! Keenan Allen is not chained to the team this year. 4 million in dead money and a cap savings of 17 million... overthecap.com/player/keenan-allen/2227Mike Williams on the other hand we are stuck with... overthecap.com/player/mike-williams/5591We can and should draft a WR in the 1st round if the player is there. Like I said, we are an injury away from a depleted WR corps.

I am beginning to lean towards Robinson RB as my preferred choice at 21st pick..... I have seen mock showing fall to 32nd pick.....really hard to believe that happens. Melvin Gordon was a 1st round pick. I'll keep harping on it till April... We need a WR more. If nobody is there and Robinson is then fine, but we need a playmaker at the WR position. But do they..... Restructure KA, you have MW and Palmer, that would be the three starters..... I know you do not like them, or MW more specifically, but they all have starter talent......when healthy. (that could be said about any starter though) Adding a beast of a runner such as Robinson would be a significant addition......significant. I believe more so than that speed WR you seek. So the question would reduce down to, which path brings greater value.....

I'm not missing the point though, I'm just not agreeing emphatically. Look, its not that I don't LIKE them... KA has earned his place in the Charger HoF IMHO. BUT he is old and its obviously harder to get open when he is double covered. SOMEBODY is always injured, ALWAYS. Get Robinson if he is there and a top WR is not whatever, BUT if that WR is there we better get him. RB's are a dime a dozen... Not sure why this year it has to be a 1st rounder when every draft for the last several NOBODY on this board would touch a RB in 1st.
30th in rushing was playcalling NOT talent...
WR > RB and its not even close.

WR > RB and its not even close. So, you are moving on from KA, and drafting the new WR......correct? Probably some money savings, being an ELC and all, but perhaps a step back in NFL skills. Now when one of your WR's gets injured, you are in the exact predicament you had last season. Double covering the threat WR, and no worries about a run game. As far as RB in the 1st, Robinson is the only RB I would go with. If he is gone, and quite likely he will be gone, I look at other positions. That said, at 21st pick, it is extremely unlikely top WR talent is still on the board. I would guess you would be looking at 5th best WR.....which might be a solid pick, I don't know yet. You call KA old, might want to think about the wear Ek has on him, RB being a rough position. 30th was not all play calling..... Won't surprise me to see CB>>WR and RB......

Never said move on from KA... Freak tried to make it about money on drafting a WR and I showed him otherwise.
You may very well be right about what's available at 21 or you could be wrong... Justin Jefferson was a 22nd pick.
If Robinson is the only pick @ RB you would go with then that tells me you're not up to date on the talent available in the draft. Pacheco was a 7th rounder, Ekeler was undrafted. There is more out there than just Robinson.
Ekeler might have wear but that is any back... Plus he is ONLY 27... Kelley is coming into his own. Nice try though.
Rountree is trash and Spiller will be in his second year (although also likley trash)
Ekeler's 12 TD's tell me it was playcalling MOSTLY.
CB? That's fine if its BPA.
What else do you guys got?
