I wanted Ladd McConkey. We Got XL. I wanted Blake Corum. We got Jonathon Brooks. I wanted Payton Wilson. We got Trevin Wallace. I wanted Luke McCaffrey. We got Ja'Tavion Sanders. I wanted Caelan Carson. We got Chau Smith-Wade.

With all the wasted trades for our 2024 picks, we could have added Malik Mustapha too.

I know I am not the only one

Ladd was jack poo this year. Seems like that draft second round WR are going to be pretty mid.

I will gladly take McConkey's "jack poo" of 66 Rec, 789 yds, 6 TD's with a 62.3% catch rate as a "down year."

You can keep XL.

Chargers lost Alt and Slater on the oline, brought back Keenan Allen, spent big on Omarion Hampton in the draft and Quentin Johnson finally took off (somewhat), which all resulted in lower production. I would not write off Ladd just yet and he is still miles ahead of XL. Not even close.

Second year knocked it out of the park.  I'll give him a pass.  Coker and Mike Jack more than made up for it anyway. 

or so let's be perfectly honest & say Brandt Tillis leaves the KC Chiefs in 25'  & then helps Dan Morgan finally knock it out of the park .prior to hiring Brandt Tillis Dan Morgan was clueless he had a really bad draft in 24' , let alot of his defensive talent walk just to turn around & over spend on the most expensive oLine in the NFL...just saying thank God we have Brandt Tillis

No team hits on every pick.  Every coach and GM will eventually get fired.  

We are a better team and have greatly increased the talent on the roster.

Bad GMs lead to losses.  

I love the teams current setup in the front office and the process in how we look at talent and coaching.  Canales has often said we want to have a player developmental philosophy as a core tenant.  I love that combined with cutting edge analytics and good football knowledge and experience.

    • Right...I think they've done really well. No one's going to bat 1000% but they've addressed areas of need and there's no comparison to the overall talent of the team now than when DC and then Morgan got the reigns. This whole season is about seeing how much of a step up can Bryce and this team make. If Bryce can't and last year is as good as it gets for him then at least we have a talented roster for the next guy. I think we're going to be good this season 
    • I said could, not would. I recognize he has potential based on past performance. Compared to what KP has done, Howell has more potential and the physical traits to make noise. KP has small hands and a weak arm. Not something you want in even your backup QB.  I've been hammering since last off-season before we re-signed Dalton, improve the room. Other than getting younger, I don't see how anyone can say we legitimately improved the room or even tried. We might as well have signed Josh Rosen.  Dalton is still on the roster for now. That's 3 QBs unless we trade or cut him. He's still Bryce's mentor after all. Do you believe we are going to draft someone with potential and give them a legitimate opportunity to develop from the practice squad? Are we going to carry 3 QBs on the active roster? 4 for a developmental rookie? Are we going to potentially cut KP if we draft a rookie and he's outperformed? Doubtful. Cutting Dalton(if we can't trade him) and KP would be 8m in wasted cap space.  I chose Howell as an example because he showed promise in his only full season as a starter. You could plug in another name with the physical traits and potential and what i said would still apply. KP showed almost nothing and was benched. I genuinely don't care if it’s rookie pick as long as there is the potential to develop into a future NFL QB.  As much as I can't stand him, Bellichek was always developing a number 2 QB even with the GOAT as his starter. The wisdom of that was evident when Cassell came in when Brady was hurt week 1 and went 11-5 and almost made the wildcard, which 11-5 gets you almost any other year. I give credit where it's due though. Cassel and Jimmy G both came into the league as developmental QBs, potential QB1s, and went on to have careers.  You never know if you never try. KP feels like a punt in addressing the most important position on the field. Bryce has never played 2 full games of franchise QB level football back to back.  If Bryce progresses, are you ready to offer a 280m 5 year extension based off a one hit wonder year? If Bryce regresses and we need a QB in 27, are we going to trade a fortune away again to trade up to 1 to get one? Are you ready to do the past 3 years all over again?  To me, it's not about Kenny Pickett. It's about the move itself. It was a feeble attempt to improve the QB room. We better hope Bryce succeeds, because if he doesn't, we literally have no backup plan right now.   
    • IOL that early isn’t good value at all. We have a LT who might not ever be good again and a RT that might retire soon. T seems deep early in this draft, so I’d go there in the 1st.
