I bet none of their preferred guys are there so they trade out of the first and get a few extra picks. Not a chance this happens......

I disagree with this. If you just take QB's, Tackles, and EDGE out of the picture, we will be shocked at who is still on the board at 21. Those 3 groups should eat up a lot of the draft above us. If that's the case I am all for a skill player. TE, WR, I am hesitant on the RB pick though we have just had really bad luck with 1st round RB after LT. Funny, but when I watch Robinson replays I see plenty of LT style in his runs.....yes, I just compared him to LT. Go get him TT!

Neither will be there and they need more picks, not fewer, so doubt a trade up. The late picks are not making the roster......unless they suddenly figure out how to draft the flawed. I was speaking to a trade back to pick up another 2 or 3. Tons of value in those rounds this year. |

We got a couple starters from post draft undrafted FAs. Ekeler & Vato. 6th rd OL Salyer- Starting RG. 5th rd DL Otito Ogbonnia played well in rotation. 6th rd S Gilman- good depth. D6 Taylor, D7 Leonard- Special team stars. I think they're going to nail some useful late- UDFAs this year. The Team is looking at a lot of them and have some new young coaches and assistants to give a fresh perspective on Sammy Small School products.

No its not. I don't think we're that desperate at RB to move up for Robinson, the cost would be too great. Ekeler is a beast, Kelley is serviceable, and we still haven't seen what Spiller can do. Trust me, the only people drooling over Robinson are the fans. Moore > Lombardi, our run game will improve with Robinson or without. Ekeler has asked for a trade.....unhappy he has not received the extension he believes he deserves. Yea, no problem there at all. Kelly has not shown to be much more than any RB straight out of the draft. Yea, no problem there..... Spiller hasn't shown anything. Yea, no problem there..... Even you can't ignore the accolades that have been thrown about with Robinson. The fans are not the only ones recognizing the talent. You are putting a big bet on Moore.....I like him too, but until he has the offence producing.... Ekeler is still working for a paycheck, he'll produce in 2023. Kelley is as consistent in RB as Palmer is at WR... They both need to show something in year 3. Spiller was a rookie... You're giving up on him already??? Robinson will go top 10. There is no way TT trades up that far. I'm just trying to save you all some anxiety.

It's ok to pump your guy, but they are putting to much weight on him at something we desperately need help in. I don't likey that.

TT can trade up from 21 to 17 and not have it cost a ton, but Robinson would still need to be available, eh. Kelly and Palmer are both as you say, Palmer maybe a bit less so, but you are right in saying they need to show this year. af, you love Ekeler so much, tell me his future.....where do you see this saga in 18 months?

af, you love Ekeler so much, tell me his future.....where do you see this saga in 18 months? No he doesn't. His rookie year down the depth chart he had 33 catches for 353 yards. His second year he slightly more than DOUBLED that playing behind 2 starters. When asked to start he played well. 72 catches for 769 yards.
Improved year over year. He is right on track for us. Doesn't "need to show" crap.

Nice stats for a complimentary player, but pretty certain af was wanting to see 'primary player' results for both Kelly and Palmer. Are either one the answer for starter this time next season.....that is what needs to be seen.

My official prediction for the Chargers first rounder is Mazi Smith, DT from Michigan.
This is not my preferred pick, just my prediction. This may or may not be the 21st pick.
If Bijan Robinson is still available at 21, I hope the Chargers do not hesitate to take him! But like most others, I doubt he falls this far and I don't see TT moving up.

Its not that I love Ekeler, he is just our biggest offensive threat and that cannot be denied. For Ekeler I see a few scenario's... 1. We trade Ekeler in the draft and move up. 2. Ekeler performs on par or exceeds 2022 and we resign for 8-9 Million for 2 years. 3. Ekeler has an average season for "him" and we let him go to free agency. We'll see how it goes.

If Bijan is not there who do they get at RB? Roshon Johnson who was Bijan’s back up is getting a lot of 3rd round love. Zach Charbonnet? Can’t take another UCLA guy. Gibbs? Just give Ekeler the 15 mil for ten years.....they are set!! Everybody knows that RBs don't really come into their own until they hit 37.
