Could be looking to get Darrisaw if he falls far enough or Trevon Moehrig/FS who Rhule really likes.

You’re right LP. It’s the New York Post...the closest thing to sensational level tabloid news there is. Doesn’t carry much weight.

Not sure if Pitts makes it past the Falcons or Dolphins but we should run the card up if he’s there. Anything can happen on draft day.

For now I’m expecting the Bengals to take Chase @ 5 but if they don’t he won’t make it past Detroit @ 7. Their cupboard is bare @ WR.

Nice analysis MHS. With this being the last year of Paradis’ contract, it wouldn’t surprise me if they signed Elfein as his eventual replacement. I think he’d do great @ Center.

I wouldn’t mind trading down but not beyond #15. Let’s say the Chargers want to move up to draft Sewell and reunite him with Herbert and are willing to trade their #13, their 3rd and a 2nd next year. We could still get Slater or Farley, we’d have an extra pick in the early rounds and recoup the 2nd rounder we gave up for Darnold.

How great is it to finally have a competent front office?

I just read the Broncos are planning to re-sign him. Call his release a “procedural move”. Go figure.

Because a) we’ll need time to evaluate if Darnold can truly be our answer at QB; and b) if he isn’t and flames out like Bridgewater, we’ll need a competent backup just in case we take a swing at a franchise QB in 2022 (Howell). And if we trade him, his cap hit is not cost prohibitive.

You read my mind. Sewell had said it be a “dream come true” to be reunited with Herbert in Los Angeles and the Chargers do have hole @ LT. We could trade down to #12 for additional picks this year and next and still get Darrisaw. I believe we have interest in him also. sorry about the double quotes

And that’s a good thing. We’ve gone the players’ coach route for many years and that really hasn’t made us consistent winners. Based on what we know about some of Rhule’s mentors (Parcells, Reid), I’m sure he’ll find the right balance when it comes to developing players.

I’m being cautiously optimistic. Worse case scenario is Darnold is a less expensive placeholder than Bridgewater. We have know way of knowing right now. But we can build a really good OL for McCaffrey’s prime years and whoever the next franchise QB will be.

Agreed. The D made steadily progressed last season and should continue to get better this season with the new additions. Burns and the D in general could benefit from another disruptive force on the DL. Hope we can find one in the later rounds.

I think we’re better off taking his replacement in the later rounds of the draft. There are some good ones to be had e.g. Nixon/Iowa, Johnson/Indiana or Tufele/USC. We need depth and youth there instead of a retread IMO.

Great analogy. Having a great OL will do wonders for the offensive weapons we have. Just ask the Saints and the Cowboys (before injuries and age set in). On the other hand, Fitterer has seen what happened with a below average OL in Seattle so it wouldn’t be a shock if OT is the pick @ 8.

Hornets coming out flat after halftime of this one. And Gordon Hayward WTH? He’s in an awful slump!

Gotta give ‘em props. MIA putting in work today.

As bad as Washington played, we would’ve had to stay in the locker room after halftime to have lost that game. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rivera screwed us on purpose to help knock us down in the draft order. Kind of like the Saints did us a few seasons ago.

I’m really hoping we can sign FA DT Jarran Reed (released from Seattle today). That would help our depth on the interior DL. I think we’re set @ pass rushers. This will allow us to focus on OL and DB (or QB if one’s available).

Either Chase or reunion with Tua and Devontae Willams. Flores did coach him in the Senior Bowl and he’d be lethal in their offense.

Wouldn’t mind it but considering the moves me made @ LB in FA, if a QB is not there @ 8th pick, our options are likely going to be BPA @ OT, CB or trade down.

North Carolina native, 28 yo, drafted in 2016. Good size and would provide nice depth on the DL. Would be a nice pick in FA or trade for later round pick.

Same here. If we didn’t have other major concerns e.g. QB, OL, CB or made the additions at LB, I’m sure he be at the too of the list @ #8.

Nice breakdown sir. Wish more of our fans understood this. It’s a process. Looking at the contract structure itself gives you an idea of what the organization had in mind when they signed him: a veteran QB familiar with a new offense and a bridge (pun intended) to an eventual successor. Makes sense to me.
