Cards Trade Request Will Be Met

[Krangodnzr]

Don’t forget that you’re talking about Jim Harbaugh. He has already emphatically stated that he wants the Chargers to be the nastiest, meanest team in the NFL. I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t take an OL to protect the very QB who has been injured in each of the last 2 seasons. I think Harbaugh wants to do what the Cardinals did last year. He’ll maximize his draft picks and use 2024 as a year to evaluate what he has on his roster.

Joe Alt is far and away the obvious pick for the Chargers. He's a pretty safe prospect because his floor is really high. Guys that big that move like him just don't really bust much.

I watched a film break down comparing Fautanu and Alt. Fantanu has insanely good technique for a college player, but he kind of has to because he's smaller than average. Alt's technique could improve a lot (and it has) and he's already really dominant.

Harbaugh wil take Alt because he's just such a monster of a player.

I will say this much, the Cardinals are getting pretty good press with the idea that a trade is on the horizon. Personally, I take MHJ and hope I can package the 27th pick to move up the board to select the defensive player they covet. I like Kerse. Maybe we can get both the offensive and defensive rookie of the year in 2024.

And if nobody trades back with us?

Then you stick and pick.

 

[Dan H]

Man, I just feel at some point you have to go with quality over quantity. Does anyone really think we’re going to have 11 rookies on the team from the draft?

 

[Chris_Sanders]

So why hasn’t it happened yet?

I would gather because it depends on who is there at 4.

Daniels is the Raiders target and if he somehow fell they will offer probably 3 1st and more.

Each team probably has their flavor

Alt is my second favorite player in this draft after Harrison. I see a dominant LT.

 

[Krangodnzr]

I do get where you're coming from, but Harbaugh actually hasn't drafted an OL in the first before.

He didn't really have to. He had Staley, Anthony Davis, and Mike Iupati pretty much his entire tenure.

It seems like coachspeak/a smokescreen to me. I know these conversations are had ahead of time, but if we move back and try to move forward, I could see us being caught flat footed.

The coachspeak coming from Harbaugh is the McCarthy hype.

 

[daves]

Should but he has to drop to a pick who is willing to deal. There’s no guarantee of an avenue to trade down and back up. Just because it worked-ish last season doesn’t mean it will again.

Gotta have that deal to move back up worked out in advance... as they did last year.

Or make it a three-team trade in a single transaction.

We got so burned by this last year I have PTSD.

Losing out on the highest floor player and highest ceiling player for some future mid rounders is so bad.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Players I would say will not bust, they may not be superstars but solid NFL starters. Zero busts here

Harrison
Alt
Odunze
Bowers

That's it.

Very likely no bust but probably 1-2 do

Daniels
Williams
Fashanu
Turner
Nabers
Verse
Maye

And that is just 10. You can add in McCarthy but now you are in the 3-4 bust range in this draft with the 11-25 range

 

[BACH]

That depends if the Chargers really want to move back. I honestly don't believe they're going to let their promising young franchise QB throw to an absolute trash receiving corps and just run the ball with Gus Edwards.

They have a their 1st rounder from last year

 

[BACH]

Just for conversation.

The 2020 had 3 stud WRs (although none as highly rated as the 3 this year).

The generational WR of the classs was….Justin Jefferson. The 5th WR drafted in the buttom of the first. The 2nd best is Lamb. The 3rd WR drafted.

The 3rd best WR of the class is the 6th drafted in Aiyuk.

Tee Higgins and Michael Pittman Jr. Were the 7th and 8th WR drafted.

Ruggs (1st) didn’t show much with 920 yards in Two seasons before tragically going to prison.
Jeudy (2nd) has Been so-so and a headcase.
Reagor (4th) is a bust and No longer with the Eagles.

PFF has Fautanu as the highest rated pass protector Since Tunsil. They are just worried that he Cannot develop as a Good run blocker as Tunsil, hence Alt is the total package and the highest rated OL in years

The Chargers have you, me, & @Chopper0080 as their WR core right now.

As with most things on this site, the phrase “magic beans” is being beaten to death, but while it’s overly simplistic, it’s also pretty accurate.

No one was calling Jeudy or reagor generational.

Well they have a guy they picked in the first round just last year if we are playing honestly.

I have a non-roster invite to minicamps

Yes, but Quentin Johnston was embarrassingly bad. Michael Wilson massively outperformed him in less games. If you guys think we need to be concerned with Wilson as our #2... QJ is even more alarming.

And Josh Palmer is a #3.

 

[Devilmaycare]

Where are the Giants at in all of this right now? My hope has been that the Vikings, Raiders, and Broncos cause enough pressure them to trade up the two slots. I'd consider playing the lottery with them for something like their 2024 and 2025 1st. Maybe see if we can squeeze a day 3 pick too.

This draft is filled with plenty of solid receivers that can be had after round one.

The Giants apparently think it's 2020 and it's Danny Dimes SZN

Sure, but just like us I don't think the Chargers want to hamstring their young franchise QB with what could be a bunch of dreck.

It's really almost the exact same situation for both franchises, so I'm not sure why the narrative is any different.

Pretty much what @Solar7 said, word for word.

Not to mention the Chargers arguably have a worse group of WRs than we do.

 

[az jam]

Bottom line is that this is going to be one of the most interesting drafts we have ever had for Cardinal fans. It will be something we will be debating for many years. Sit back and enjoy it!!
