Well, we don't have a slot.  That's like calling Miles Sanders a receiving RB.  You can throw him the ball.  He can catch it.  But that's not what he is.  Theilen isn't a good slot WR.   We just play him there.  He is slow.  He has zero YAC. 

Mike Williams is older.  He is a short term rental.   Why would signing him or Dionte Johnson who likely a one and done move.....prevent us from actually attempting to solve our massive WR hole in the big picture. 

this is a deep and good WR class and we need WRs. 

So you rather spend money on lesser players in FA to fill the other holes?

 

Mike Williams is probably the BPA right now.

 

If we going to spend money I would probably take the BPA. 

 

Clowney and Young aren't coming here for cheap they could go to a contender if that's the case.

I'd like us to draft a WR or even two in a deep WR class.  We need long term solutions.  I'd rather spend the remaining FA money in the trenches.

30 is not old for a WR. Man why do you guys do this every year. We need a upgrade at WR. Nobody wants to see Mingo and TMJ again. Get guys that can play regardless of age.

 

We are the laughing stock of the league we gotta start acquiring talent!

I hear you but I'd rather put that into a TE honestly. We've got Ian Thomas Tommy Tremble and who?

see, I think this is back to getting caught up in our reoccurring issue.  The whole rebuilding yet win now team approach we have been every season since Tepper bought the team.  What are we. 

We need young WR talent.  Heck, we need offensive skill talent. This is the draft to add it. 

and if you want to land good vets down the road and not overpay? Well, the first thing to being attractive is a successful and good offensive outlook.   It's an offensive league.   Folks got to start thinking they can come here and win.  I just think young offensive talent should be the focus.  Even if the D goes backwards in the short term.

He would be a significant upgrade if we could convince him to come back home.

He has been unlucky with injuries the last few seasons, but that's an outlier for his career thus far. 

 

Looking at his games played is not a good way of judging his health, as the Chargers have had a history in recent years of playing him while not fully healthy and using him mainly as decoy knowing he wasn't able to do what he normally does.  He also has a history of being able to play in games but get pulled early because he gets banged up, but is able to get back out there the following week at less than 100%.

Remove his rookie season where he was barely used and this past season when he got hurt in the 3rd game and he's played 75 career games, but has 26 games with 2 or less catches out of those 75 (the number goes way up if you use his rookie season where he barely played).

And unlike someone like Jeudy who I was strongly against, who put up bad stat lines because he just isn't that good, most of those games where he only had 1 or 2 catches were because he was out there more as a decoy due to being banged up.

He's someone who if we were a contending team, yea, I'd be all for throwing a sizable contract at him and hoping he can stay healthy and put us over the top.  But since we're not, the contract it will take to sign him is too big of a risk for a team that needs to use it's money to build a base, not find a final piece to the puzzle.

He's a great player when healthy, and kudos to him for being a tough guy who can at least suit up when he's banged up, but he's just an injury prone player.

      I appreciate the honesty in your posts--I am not sure Canales is rusing(?) because I don't think we are good enough yet to draft players for depth on day 1.  I do think we are in limbo, fwiw.  At 19, I think you are drafting second rounders in the first.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By strato · Posted

      We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.

      Mike Kaye: “I would keep a pretty close eye on {KC Concepcion}.”

      I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first.
