CB Desmond King Potentially Available

Finally, a CB worth our time that would be an exciting addition. 25-years old, $2.5M in 2020, FA in '21.

Some LAC fans would be elated with a 3rd rounder for him. There's also folks linking the Chargers moving up to #3 and the Lions needing a CB since trading away Slay.

Get on it Hurney....send that email back over to LA and make this happen!!

We can still add a quality CB and edge rusher after the draft. Someone like prince amukumara or Everson Griffen who is holding out for a big contract. Even players like Kirkpatrick and Clowney would be good stop gaps till next year. No reason to trade away picks this year.

Read up a little on him. If I'm being honest, he sounds like their version of Donte Jackson.

Interesting. Thought more highly of him than DJax, but I would entrust Charger media and fans more than me having a draft crush on him a few years back. 
 

Still think with his age maybe a change of scenery turns it around for him. He certainly has the tools

I just wish I knew more about Rhule and Snow in terms of what they value in CBs. I don't even know if they plan to run a primarily man or primarily zone based secondary scheme.

Without a hint of understanding on what they want out of their CBs, it's really tough to make a call on any CB, either in the draft or in free agency.

To tell the truth, based on what I've read, it sounds like he started off showing loads of promise then seriously fell off. One piece I read said they were thinking of moving him to free safety.

I won't claim to have watched him, but it sounds like the same story as Jackson, potentially worse.

That’s not necessarily a good thing either. You have to be coachable otherwise you end of up with a whole lot of talent and nothing to show for it.

That's kinda where I'm going.

And if I'm being honest, I'm not entirely comfortable with Donte Jackson being our number one corner this year.

Two Donte Jacksons? Oy...

I’ve been preaching for quite some time that he would make sense for trade bait if you’re looking for a semi fresh start with the franchise. Do you really want him being one of the few “vets” left?

He didn't seem receptive to coaching under Rivera and his assistants.

Will it be different with Matt Rhule, Phil Snow and Evan Cooper? No idea.

You’d have to think for as much of a “players coach” Rivera is that maybe if it didn’t work under his leadership then who could make it work?

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
