Yes, I changed my user name from Just Win Baby to Tau837 to be consistent with the other sites I frequent. Love this song!

Need to digest, but immediate reaction: Would rather they traded down rather than up for McConkey. Would rather they had drafted JPJ, Newton, or DeJean. That said, I like McConkey fine and trust that since they moved up for him, they will be able to use him effectively, and he will make a...

You guys got on me for Telesco comments previously, and I come in peace here. I will just observe two things: IMO the first two Raiders picks in this draft may be better than the first two picks Telesco made in 11 drafts for the Chargers, with the only exception being the draft when he got...

Those guys are all on my list for the Chargers as well. :popcorn:

Fair enough. It seems reasonable to point out that Deebo's PFF receiving grade (87.0)was #12 out of 212 graded WRs in 2023 and #2 on the 49ers to Aiyuk (91.7). Deebo also led all NFL WRs in rushing attempts by a large margin and had a 68.2 PFF rushing grade, which is good. Per Player Profiler...

Right now, these look like an easy top 3 choices for the Chargers (not necessarily in this order): C JPJ IDL Newton CB DeJean If they are all gone by 37, then presumably they consider (again, not necessarily in this order): CB McKinstry IDL Jenkins WR McConkey WR Mitchell I will be mildly...

I think Bowers was an excellent pick for the Raiders. One of the best first round picks Telesco has made in his 12 drafts IMO. I'm not thrilled that the Chargers will have to face him at least twice per year for the foreseeable future.

Agree. IMO there is a lot of unnecessary chicken little overreaction going on in here and elsewhere. Getting drafted onto a team with Mayer is a great thing. It means Mayer will take the majority of the TE blocking snaps, freeing Bowers to run routes. Bowers is unlike most TEs in that he...

So in your view Deebo getting hit in the backfield almost every time he touched the ball was exclusively Deebo's fault? ETA: I read subsequent posts and this was covered. Opponents are ready for the plays, which is primarily on the playcalling, not the player.

His schtick? Deebo isn't calling the plays. And that is a really small sample size. 2023: 14-4 with Deebo, 0-2 without 2022: 11-5 with Deebo, 4-0 without 2021: 12-7 with Deebo, 0-1 without 2020: 3-4 with Deebo, 3-6 without 2019: 14-4 with Deebo, 1-0 without Total: 54-24 with Deebo, 8-9 without...

I will post my comments along with ranking and draft profile info for the Chargers draft picks here: 2024 Draft Rankings/Discussion My comments there on the Alt pick: One pick in, this already has the potential to be better than most of Telesco's drafts. No surprise there.

I didn't list a single cumulative metric. So "throws it more often" doesn't really factor in. #10 of 21 really equates to #10 in the league. The guys with fewer than 50 attempts aren't good at it, so they don't do it. This has been a well known strength for Wilson throughout his career. I...

Surprised no mention of Fuaga here.

You can reasonably criticize Wilson for a lot of things, but deep passing seems like an odd criticism for him. According to PFF, there were 21 QBs who attempted at least 50 deep passes in 2023. Some of Wilson's ranks among them: #4 in deep passing attempt % (13.4%) Tied for #1 in ADOT (32.9)...

I agree. Hortiz was quoted as saying they would have to be blown away to trade down from 1.5, but IMO it would make no sense to draft any OL other than Alt at 1.5. If they really want Latham, they should trade down. People will point out that you have to find another team that wants to trade up...
