1
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: Hey, what's up everybody?

2
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Gatias Charge podcast, presented by the Charters

3
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: Podcast Network. My name is Stephen and I'm the host

4
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 2: is always and and joining me is my guy Tyler.

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: Tyler, what'sup? And Hi? Doing tonight?

6
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 3: Doing very well, but wondering, Stephen, why don't we live

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 3: in r v's next to each other?

8
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: That would definitely make for easier recording process. For sure,

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 2: we'd get more content in person, although recording outside of

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: an RV not the best backdrop or audio quality.

11
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: I would imagine now as well.

12
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 2: But maybe someday down the road, when we're old and grey,

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 2: we can do the RV thing next to each.

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 3: Other sounds good. We'll live in a van done by

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 3: the river or something.

16
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: Love it.

17
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: Jim Arvill obviously had a wonderful press conference today at

18
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: the annual Ownership Meetings, where he and highlighted that him

19
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: and Greg Roman are living next to each other in

20
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 2: our v's. Apparently Greg Roman has a nicer RV, but

21
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: Jim had to clarify that he's getting into his future

22
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: house earlier than Greg, so Jim wins the competition of

23
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: nicer living situation.

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: Apparently, so a lot.

25
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: Of fun stuff to dive into there, and then we

26
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: are going to highlight our draft non negotiables. This is

27
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: an episode idea that we wanted to hit on. You know,

28
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 2: we did a form of this on our own channel

29
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: for free agency. In terms of free agency, must have

30
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: the essentials, if you will. These are the things that

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 2: Tyler and I believe that this team has to accomplish

32
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 2: in free agency and obviously now in the draft going forward.

33
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: So should be a fun conversation today, lots of lots

34
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: of great information from Jim harbos press conference, and then

35
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: we'll dive into the draft show as always before we

36
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: get to that conversation. Tyler and I are fans of

37
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 2: the team just like you guys are. The opinions of

38
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: this show. The opinion that we share every single week

39
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: on this episode are just out there. Are our opinions,

40
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: not the opinions of the organization. At the end of

41
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 2: the day, we are independent content creators and this is

42
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: a great platform for us to share our opinions. So

43
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 2: it's been a lot of fun and will continue to

44
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 2: be a lot of fun as much as we can be.

45
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: So that being said, Tyler, let's dive into these Jim

46
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 2: Harbaugh takeaways today. Again, if you missed it, it was

47
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: like a thirty five minute conversation that Jim Harbaugh was

48
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: giving to the media. Lots of great questions about Justin

49
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: Herbert Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, the draft, overall philosophies. Some

50
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: people ask them out like the forty nine ers, which

51
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 2: is like whatever. But Tyler, he had an initial maybe

52
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: a big key takeaway here from the Jim Harbaugh press conference,

53
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: which which would be the starting point for you.

54
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 3: The quote that basically suggests that Jim Harbaugh really really

55
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: likes Joey Bosa and really loved what he did on

56
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 3: film last year. I think a lot of us going

57
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: into this free agent process, we were thinking, Okay, you know,

58
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: given the injury history and the contract, you know, the

59
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 3: Chargers might have to move on from Joey Bosa, But

60
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: when he's on the field, and if he's on the field,

61
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: he's awesome and and clearly Jim Harbaugh feels that way,

62
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 3: to the point where he said that Joey was having

63
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 3: a better year than Khalil through that stretch until he

64
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 3: got hurt. Now, I'm not sure which particular stretch. I

65
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 3: don't know if it means like all the nine ish

66
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 3: games he played in that ten week stretch before he

67
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: you know, departed for the rest of the season. Was

68
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: it just a key specific stretch after the buye. I

69
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: don't know, but that's a lot of praise considering Khalil

70
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: Mack was someone who could have been a defensive Player

71
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: of the Year and in my opinion, the best player

72
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: on the Chargers all of last season. So for Jim

73
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: Harbot to look at Joey Bosa and say that guy

74
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 3: was having a better year or at least a better

75
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: stretch than Khalil Mack says a lot. So they have

76
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: a lot of confidence in him to be that player again,

77
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: a lot of confidence in themselves to get Joey back

78
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: to that. It's very exciting for him to go out

79
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 3: and say that was a eye opening I'll be honest,

80
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: I did not expect Jim to say that after the

81
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: year that khlu Mac had, but clearly they believe in him.

82
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

83
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: That belief I think probably stems from, you know, his

84
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: days of watching him at Ohio State and everything that

85
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: he's done in the NFL since this point. And we

86
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: when we were discussing Joey as like a trade candidate

87
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: or release or anything like that.

88
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: It was always kind.

89
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: Of like, well, if you're a team who thinks you

90
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 2: can get this guy healthy, you have the potential to

91
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: get a top eight edge rusher in the league on

92
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: your team. And I think it's obvious that Jim believes

93
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: that Ben Herbert can get Joey Bosa right, get sixteen

94
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: seventeen games out of Joey Bosa, and they believe that

95
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: jesse Minzer can get him back to being a top

96
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: eight edge rusher. So you know, the Chargers a lot

97
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: went wrong last season, but the performance of the edge

98
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 2: rushers was right. I mean, we highlighted it every single week.

99
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 2: It felt like whether it was Khalil tu Ley or

100
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: Joe we that was like our staple weekly segment was

101
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: which edge rusher was the best? And it's a great

102
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: luxury to have Jesse Mentor highlighted that in his kind

103
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: of opening press conference to the media as well, where

104
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: you look at it around the league and how many

105
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 2: teams on paper have a better trio of edge rushers

106
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: than what the Chargers have with Khalil Mack, Joey Bosa

107
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: and too Lee tweek below two with everybody presumably healthy

108
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: and taking a step forward in development. So it's a

109
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: it's a obviously the strength of the team at this

110
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: point in time, this is the best position group remainium

111
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 2: the roster. Obviously can kind of remove quarterback because there's

112
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: only the one player that makes an impact there. But

113
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: if once you remove quarterback, right, it's those are the

114
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: best players on the team in terms of the position room.

115
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: So it's it was it was kind of a surprise,

116
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: But then I thought about it more and I'm like, okay, Like,

117
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: if you really believed in your staff the way that

118
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh does, I guess I maybe overthought the Joey

119
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: Bosa thing because you know, he does have that potential

120
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: to get back to that top eight form, and I

121
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: know that a lot of people feel a certain way

122
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: about him. But if you just look at the numbers

123
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: of when Joey Bossa was healthy across that like post

124
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: by stretch the Packers game, he was producing like a

125
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: top eight edge rusher, and I think that's obviously something

126
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: that Jim Harbaugh believes they can get back out of him.

127
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's that's so exciting, Not that it wasn't

128
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 3: excited when they already you know retained him, Like, Okay,

129
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 3: the potential is there, you have mentored super exciting. But

130
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 3: for Jim to go out and say that like that

131
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 3: means they're really excited about Joey Bosa and I personally disagree.

132
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 3: I do think Khalil Mack was always better during that stretch.

133
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 3: I think being healthy and look, he had a really

134
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 3: really good season, So it's not like exact yeah, yeah,

135
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 3: I mean excellent season from him and during that stretch

136
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 3: was still phenomenal all on his own. But Joey, I believe,

137
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: did have a higher pass rush win rate against true

138
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: pass sets during that first ten weeks. So it's not

139
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 3: it's not unfounded what Jim Harbo was saying, Like there

140
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 3: is at least statistics including the film to support that.

141
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

142
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: And I think part of this also is the jesse

143
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: Minter equation. And we kind of talked about this with

144
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: Cody Alexander where he kind of pointed that jesse Minter

145
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: blitzed a lot, did a lot of simulated pressures at

146
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: Michigan in part because he didn't have the edge rushers

147
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 2: to hold up.

148
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: Well.

149
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: Now you have three guys who, as Daniel Popper has

150
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: pointed out, a few times have been on the field together.

151
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: I think it was like sixty snaps last year and

152
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: they had like nine sacks. I forget the exact number there,

153
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: but it's a trio when you get them all on

154
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: the field together. We've seen it be a closing unit

155
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: for the team. We've seen it be an explosive past

156
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: us trio for the team. And then you can add

157
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: in Morgan Fox to that group as well. So if

158
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: you're jesse Minter sitting there like hey, like I know,

159
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to take some lumps of linebacker, maybe

160
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: a defensive tackle. I want to keep the edge rush intact.

161
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: And maybe that was kind of the priority from a

162
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: defensive side of things. And now jesse Minter can kind

163
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: of be a little bit of a mad scientist and

164
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: just cook up NASCAR packages with four really really high

165
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: end pass rushers.

166
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean no disrespect to Jalen Harrold and Brida McGregor,

167
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 3: the two current draftable edge rushers for Michigan, But like

168
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 3: you know, jesse Minter did not get the Aiden Hutchinson

169
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 3: and David o'jabo season that McDonald had. He was making

170
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 3: this defense and creating a great defense the best one

171
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 3: in college football. With two edge rushers that will be

172
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 3: maybe like six seventh round guys could go undrafted, Tullie

173
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 3: Khalil Pack, Joey Bosa. That's a very different caliber of talent.

174
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 3: And sure they're facing a different caliber of talent across

175
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 3: from them, but this is more talent. He's ated edge

176
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 3: rusher by far by quite a bit.

177
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and obviously he was at they ended U built

178
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: before Michigan, you know, the Ravens edge rushroom when he

179
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 2: was still there. This is easily the most talent he's

180
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: had at the edge rushroom. So I would imagine he's

181
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: very excited and Jim harbros Seems to inilicate that as well.

182
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: Flipping to the other side of the all him. Harbaugh

183
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: spoke a few different times about the offensive line. I

184
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 2: wanted to highlight specifically his comments about Jamari Sallier and

185
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 2: Jordan McFadden, highlighting the versatility of both of those players. Obviously,

186
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: we've seen Jamori play at left tackle and right guard.

187
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: Jordan mcfannon played left tackle and right tackle in college,

188
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 2: played exclusively this past season at left guard when he

189
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: was a lineman. He's also done like the fullback stuff

190
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: he's done the h back stuff. He'd lined up in

191
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 2: the slot one time. So Jordan mcfanhnon got a lot

192
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: of different experience playing in roles last season. But Jim

193
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: Harbo believes that Jordan mc fannen could play center as well.

194
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 2: And I think as we kind of transition into this

195
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: period of time where the Chargers are going to try

196
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: and remake their their offensive line, you need guys like

197
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 2: those two, like Bradley Boseman, who can play multiple spots,

198
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: because I think the goal really is simply going to

199
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 2: be get the best five popossible players out there on

200
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: the field and we can kind of figure out the

201
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: positions going forward. Now we've said this before, Bradley Boseman

202
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 2: is not going to preclude me from drafting a high

203
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 2: end center if one is there, And same thing with

204
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 2: Jordan mcfatn. And like, I'm not going to walk into

205
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: the season thinking Jordan Jordan mcfatten is my backup center,

206
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 2: But it gives you the options where if we draft

207
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 2: a guy who can't play center but is better shooted

208
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 2: at guard, like a bou Limmer from Arkansas came out

209
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 2: in an interview with Justin Millow and said that he

210
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: feels best at guard, but he can play center because

211
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: that's what the team needed last season in Arkansas. So

212
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 2: maybe you draft a guy like that in the third

213
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 2: fourth round and he's your starting right guard or maybe

214
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 2: he's your starting center. It just gives you different kind

215
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: of options. And then Jamari can play different spots like

216
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: Fatnan can play different spots. And I think that's really

217
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 2: what this first year is going to be about along

218
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 2: the offensive line, is just getting the best five out there,

219
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 2: and we'll see how they really address it in terms

220
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 2: of the draft picks that they make.

221
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's so much flexibility this this interior offensive line class,

222
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 3: especially if you start if you include like Fatanu and Fuaga,

223
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 3: you I don't think I do, some people do. This

224
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 3: interior offensive line class is really really good. And the

225
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 3: more I dive into you know, some of these Day

226
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: three guys you mentioned Hunter Norzad recently watched him, loved

227
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: him like as a Day three guy obviously, but was

228
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: really really strong there. So there's so much flexibility for

229
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: what these guys can do, center, guard, you name it that. Yeah,

230
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: if they find that there's a better fit, someone can

231
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 3: play right guard, someone can be a center or backup center. Great,

232
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 3: like that does give them options, the Chargers, you know,

233
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: we talked to Tom Telesca, like they try to find

234
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 3: guys that are versatile, can do different things. So I'm

235
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 3: very curious then what happens with Jamari because you might

236
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 3: just come out and say Jamar's our starting guard. Didn't happen, right,

237
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 3: Some guys are starters by default. Zion's are started by

238
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 3: default given the first round draft status, and frankly the

239
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: talent Slater's obviously your starter. But he didn't really come

240
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 3: out outright and say that Jamari is our starter. So

241
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 3: I am very curious what the plan is there? Do

242
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 3: they view him a bit more of as a tackle?

243
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 3: I don't know, because while I do think Jamari is

244
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 3: a guard, if Harbob views him, maybe he's a better

245
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 3: swing tackle for this team that does address and need

246
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 3: this Chargers team really really has had for quite some time,

247
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 3: Like they have never really had a true legitimate, long

248
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: ish term plan at offensive tackle as the third guy

249
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 3: on the field. Even Jamari when he played tackle felt

250
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 3: like a rush. Let's give this a shot. You know,

251
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 3: so far, if he's their tackle, their swing tackle, then great,

252
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 3: But I am curious are they going to bring a

253
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 3: competition to start ahead of him. I think if maybe

254
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 3: the Chargers had started free agency with more cap space

255
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 3: and Head made some moves earlier, then maybe you're looking

256
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 3: at like a Zeitler, for example, coming over from Baltimore

257
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 3: and being the Charger's right guard. But because they didn't,

258
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 3: now they're kind of like, Okay, is it going to

259
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 3: be Jamari? Is it going to be a big fat

260
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 3: and is it going to be a draft pick? To

261
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 3: see how that plays out, But like, like you said

262
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 3: that the best five should be on the field, and

263
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 3: no doubt in my mind, Harback, Greg Roam with these

264
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 3: guys will figure that up.

265
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

266
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 2: I think as it pertains to Jamari, I still believe

267
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 2: that his best position is at guard. Maybe that's a

268
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 2: left guard, maybe that's a right guard.

269
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: I don't really know.

270
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: But you know, when I graded Jamari as a as

271
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 2: a prospect, you know, you look into his background a bit,

272
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 2: and he was I don't know if it was the

273
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: top rated guard, but he was a top five guard

274
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 2: prospect going into college and then he played guard. He

275
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 2: played tackle, and just like from a trades perspective, I

276
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: think he translates best as a guard I think it's

277
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: great to know that he can play tackle in a pinch.

278
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: I think a lot of fans really overvalue like how

279
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: he played in twenty twenty one, or excuse me, twenty

280
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: twenty two played at at a solid level at left tackle,

281
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: but a lot of people make him out to be like, oh,

282
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 2: like he should start at right tackle, like unquestioned starter,

283
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 2: and I'm not there. I still believe that Trey Pipkins

284
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 2: is a pretty clearly better right tackle than Jamari would be.

285
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: But that being said, they don't have that swing tackle

286
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: option right now, and it's not like the Chargers are

287
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 2: going to neglect that, So maybe he's your starting right guard.

288
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: Maybe Jamari is essentially viewed as like he's just our

289
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: swing everything, and if anything happens to the starter, to

290
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: the starting five, Jamari's just gonna come in. He can

291
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: play basically four of the five spots. I don't know

292
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 2: if he could play center, but I know he can

293
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: play guard. I know he can play tackle at least

294
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: in a pinch, So I still believe that his best

295
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: spot is is at guard. But like if push comes

296
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: to shove and you have to put him back out

297
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 2: at left tackle or right tackle then the Chargers can

298
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 2: be comfortable with him knowing that he can at least

299
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: give you you know, average too above average tackle play.

300
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 3: How do you feel about McFadden moving to center, which

301
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 3: he's obviously never played before.

302
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not opposed to that idea.

303
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: I think his athletic traits translate to uh, you know,

304
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: to that position, especially if the team wants to do

305
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 2: a lot of you know, polling or outside zone work.

306
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: I think his athletic traits fit that wonderfully. I would

307
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: be a little hesitant to try him out at a

308
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: new position in his second season. And it's a very

309
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: similar conversation to you know, a lot of people wonder

310
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: if Zion could play center. It's like, well, eventually, you

311
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 2: do want these guys to find one spot where they

312
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: feel most comfortable playing. And it's not just like you know,

313
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 2: a cornerback can switch sides or you can play in

314
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 2: the slot. Like it's a lot of the same movements.

315
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: You don't have, you know, a strong plant leg or

316
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: anything like that. As a corner you generally are doing

317
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 2: the same kind of things. You might have to adjust

318
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: some techniques in terms of zone coverages, but it's a

319
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: lot of overlap. There's not a lot of overlap. If

320
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 2: you're playing left tackle and right guard. It's different movements,

321
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: different strategies, You're playing different kind of body types, like

322
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: you have to relearn a ton of different mechanics. So

323
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be opposed to seeing what he can do

324
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: at center. But I'm definitely not like heading into the

325
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: season with like McFadden being centered too.

326
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: I think that would be a mistake.

327
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: But if center is his best position, then you know

328
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: he can take some snaps and see how it goes.

329
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, just real.

330
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 2: Quick looking at if they wanted to address guard in

331
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: free agency. Obviously a lot of guys have have come

332
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: off the board, but Andrews Pete is still a free agent.

333
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: Hallo Potti.

334
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: How I'm not even gonna try and say that. By

335
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: Tide from the Lions, Excuse me, I'm sorry. If he

336
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 2: signs with the Chargers, I'll get the name right. But

337
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 2: he's a free agent if you want to go down

338
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: that road. Tyree Phillips who played for the Baltimore Ravens.

339
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: He's played some guard and some tackle. He's another one

340
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: who the Chargers could look at. So not a ton

341
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 2: of options out there. But you know there's Dalton Reisner

342
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 2: still out there. I guess you should have led with

343
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 2: that one. He's the best player on that list for sure.

344
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, they have some decent options out there if

345
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: they want to explore a veteran guard.

346
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 3: MH boy. Jim Harbaugh certainly loves his offensive line. The

347
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 3: quote today about you know what position group depends on

348
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 3: no one else to succeed, but everyone else depends on

349
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 3: them to succeed. He's obviously talking about the offensive line.

350
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 3: He loves his offensive line. It's going to be I

351
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 3: don't know how good the Chargers will be or how

352
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 3: great they'll be, but the offensive line is going to

353
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 3: be good, that's for sure.

354
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. I forget the guy's name.

355
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 2: He played offensive line for the forty nine ers and

356
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: he does like a podcast now. I think we talked

357
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 2: about this clip before. This is great podcasting. I shouldn't

358
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 2: have known this, but just brought it up.

359
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: Anyways.

360
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 2: One of the former forty nine ers offensive linemen would

361
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 2: say that Jim would go to the offensive line dinners

362
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: and he was the only head coach of this guy

363
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 2: played for that went to offensive line dinners. Because Jim

364
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 2: just values the offensive line.

365
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 3: That much.

366
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 2: And that's not necessarily a surprise, right, Like he's talked

367
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: about the offensive line and building through the trenches several times.

368
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 2: But you know they're going to invest in the offensive line,

369
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: and we can say that for sure. Maybe it's not

370
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 2: the same kind of pathway as everybody is. You know,

371
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 2: the harball pick right now is offensive tackle at number five.

372
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But whatever happens in

373
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: this draft, whatever happens in free agency going forward, they

374
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: are going to invest in the offensive line. He's gonna

375
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 2: have it be an identity because I mean, look what

376
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 2: he did at Michigan. They won the Joe Moore Award

377
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 2: for like two out of the last three years. It

378
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,479
Speaker 2: was a ton of resources port into their same thing

379
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 2: as the forty nine ers, same thing at Stanford.

380
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: So he's he.

381
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: Loves the offensive line because he knows how important it

382
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 2: is to protect the quarterback and be able to run

383
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 2: the football. All right, Tyler, I think the last thing

384
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: here to mention from the press conference today is Jim's

385
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: stance on the fifth overall pick.

386
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: I had some.

387
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 2: Very interesting comments there, a lot of interesting JJ McCarthy

388
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 2: comments coming out of the ownership meetings. Today, we'll see

389
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 2: exactly how that affects the charters. But you know, Jim

390
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: Jim's comment that caught my attention was that essentially they

391
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 2: view the fifth overall pick as the first overall pick,

392
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 2: especially if quarterbacks go one through four, And he specifically

393
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: mentioned that, like the scale of draft value would change

394
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 2: because at five overall, if quarterbacks go one through four,

395
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 2: he the Chargers or another team could have the pick

396
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 2: of the best non quarterback in the draft. So I

397
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 2: thought it was interesting that he highlighted the various options

398
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: that the Chargers might have in terms of overall plan

399
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 2: if you will at number five, instead of highlighting yeah,

400
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 2: like offensive tackle guys is great, wide receiver class is great.

401
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, we have a lot of options. If

402
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 2: we want to move back, we can, If we want

403
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,479
Speaker 2: to stay, we can. Kind of echoes what Joe Ortiza

404
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: said as well.

405
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 3: It's the right approach they know, and he said they're

406
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 3: going to get a great player, or at least they're

407
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 3: going to get a great prospect at five. Regardless even

408
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 3: if Marvin Harrison Junior goes fourth, they're still getting a

409
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 3: great prospect at five. They can also trade back and

410
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 3: get a great prospect. They could trade back a lot

411
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,479
Speaker 3: more and get a great prospect. Maybe not great anymore,

412
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 3: but it is still a very good one. So they're

413
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 3: confident in their options. You know, a lot of Chargers

414
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 3: fans have mentioned this is the highest the Chargers are

415
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 3: going to pick under Jim Harbaugh for the next five,

416
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 3: ten years or whatever, and that's probably true. I hope

417
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 3: it's true that this is the highest the Chargers are

418
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 3: picking for the next decade or so. At the same time,

419
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 3: it also means this is the most draft capital that

420
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 3: they can acquire by trading back under Jim Harbaugh, getting

421
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 3: going from five to eleven, you know, and getting let's

422
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 3: say eleven and twenty three from the Vikings. That's the

423
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 3: most the Chargers are probably going to have under Jim

424
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 3: Harbaugh too. So everything is on the table, everything is enticing,

425
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 3: and they're going to get a good player. And I

426
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 3: hope that it's four quarterbacks in a row.

427
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be here a lot of fun. I

428
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 2: think the Chargers in a great spot either way. If

429
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 2: quarterbacks go one through three and then the Cardinals sticking

430
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: pick or maybe somebody else trades up for one of

431
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 2: the wide receivers or whatever.

432
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: The Chargers in a great spot.

433
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 2: A lot of this draft is becoming like too chalky

434
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 2: to me, and maybe that's just because you know, we've

435
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 2: heard this same song and dance before regarding quarterback prospects,

436
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 2: and you know, twenty twenty one was supposed to go

437
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 2: one through four and then Mac Jones fell and Justin

438
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 2: Fields fell. Obviously very different circumstances there, but it just

439
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 2: feels like there's kind of a chaos bomb looming in

440
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: the top three specifically. I mean, I'm curious to see

441
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: kind of how that plays out. A lot of people

442
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 2: think maybe the Broncos could trade, could be aggressive and

443
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 2: trade up. The Patriots not sold on this quarterback class.

444
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 2: So it just feels too chocky for me at one

445
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 2: through three, which is probably a little bit of my anxiety, maybe,

446
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: I guess. But we'll see what happens come drafting, But

447
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: one through three I think it's gonna be a little

448
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 2: bit more dangerous than it feels right now.

449
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it could be the Patriots could go, yeah, I'll

450
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 3: take Marvin Harrison Junior, and that would, you know, throw

451
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 3: off every rest of the draft. You know, it's very

452
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 3: possible that is potentially the best player in the class,

453
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 3: so I would I would get why they would. The

454
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 3: Vikings are also just sitting there with eleven and twenty three.

455
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 3: They move up, they're going to move up into the

456
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 3: top five. I think, who is it? So who in

457
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 3: the top five is not taking a quarterback? Obviously the Chargers,

458
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 3: not the Cardinals. But if there's someone in that top

459
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 3: three that wants to trade back and take the eleven

460
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 3: and twenty three and next year second or whatever it is,

461
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 3: you know, whatever it is like that there is something.

462
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 3: The Vikings are waiting to do, something they're assuming that

463
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 3: they can get it. So who is it? Who is

464
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 3: that team? I hope it's the Chargers, but you never know.

465
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 3: There's a surprise every year and things will change. And

466
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 3: right now, whatever we're saying, by the time we get

467
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 3: to you know, a month from now when the draft hits,

468
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 3: could be a total different quarterback that's being talked about.

469
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 3: At two, I think one's pretty set in stone, but

470
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 3: everything else two to three and then what happens at

471
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 3: four all could be very different in a month, So

472
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 3: we'll see. It's exciting though.

473
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

474
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 2: Eric Eager, formerly of PFF, currently of super Sports, planning

475
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: this out that the week of the draft, Molik will

476
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: was getting like top three consensus hype. Malik not on

477
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 2: Lak excuse me, Will Levis last year, same kind of deal,

478
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 2: top three consensus hype, betty markets all that, and then

479
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 2: things changed. You know, Trey Lance was. I don't think

480
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 2: he was one of the three most likely betting choices

481
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: for the forty nine ers at number three until like

482
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 2: the day before the draft. So there's a lot of

483
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: people talking in certainties right now, and a lot can

484
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: change in the next.

485
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: Month as we kind of come down the home stretch here.

486
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 3: Yep, it's exciting though. It gives us stuff to talk

487
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 3: about and speculate about. And honestly, the last time the

488
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 3: Chargers had the situation, and I think Tom Tolasco said

489
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 3: as much, they felt like they had the number one

490
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 3: overall pick in twenty sixteen because they knew that it

491
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 3: was quarterback quarterback and so they had the third pick,

492
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 3: and so whoever that was going to be was the

493
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 3: best player they thought in the draft. And I remember

494
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 3: everyone thinking, Okay, it's Jalen Ramsey.

495
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: N Stanley was the betting favorite that year.

496
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was not Joey Bosa, And I know it

497
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 3: wasn't because I was at SeaWorld at the season ticket

498
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 3: event at SeaWorld and everyone went, what whoa to that pick?

499
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 3: I've got a video of it, so no one can say, oh,

500
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 3: I knew it was Joey Bosa, like everyone thought it

501
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 3: was somebody else. I didn't expect Joey Bosa at the time.

502
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 3: So Chargers are also could be a surprise team. Everyone

503
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 3: thinks it's one of two or three players, could be

504
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 3: the fourth one.

505
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

506
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,479
Speaker 2: Man, Just the wheels are turning right, And I mean

507
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 2: the coaches. The coaches come to this late obviously. I

508
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: mean the Chargers just barely high their coaching staff, you know,

509
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 2: two months ago. So now that the coaches are at

510
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: the same spot as the scouts, as the front office folks,

511
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: this is really when things start.

512
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: Ticket, you know, pushed into motion.

513
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: All the quarterbacks are doing their visits, all the other

514
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:44,959
Speaker 2: prospects are doing their visits.

515
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: So it's certainly a lot.

516
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 2: Of fun and a natural transition point to our draft

517
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: non negotiables.

518
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: Here. We've prepared a few of them.

519
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: We'll see how much we can get to in the

520
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 2: next you know, fifteen twenty minutes or so. But Tyler,

521
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 2: if you had to pick one non negotiable for the

522
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four draft for the Chargers, what is your

523
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 2: first choice there?

524
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 3: The Chargers have to find their center of the future.

525
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 3: And that doesn't mean that the center has to start

526
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 3: this year, but it has to be their center of

527
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 3: the future in the way that well like Tyler Linderbaum

528
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 3: is for the Ravens. Granted that's a first round pick

529
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 3: that Creed Humphrey is for the Chiefs. They need to

530
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 3: find stability at this spot because right now, Justin Herbert

531
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 3: will be on center number five, and next year if

532
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 3: Bozeman walks in free agency, it'll be center number six.

533
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 3: And you need stability there. And it can't be a

534
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 3: stop gap thing. It can't be a one year sort

535
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 3: of thing all the time. There needs to be stability

536
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 3: there because I think that, you know, Justin Herbert needs

537
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 3: that for protection, calls for stability, for confidence and for

538
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 3: avoiding injuries. Corey Linsley goes down, things are a bit

539
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 3: more chaotic. You know, Kellen Moore maybe wasn't able to

540
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 3: orchestrate the best protection plans and Justin Herbert, you know,

541
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 3: it gets hurt and takes a beating on the field

542
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 3: because they couldn't figure that out. They need stability at

543
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 3: the spot. So whatever the Chargers decide to do, we'll

544
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 3: see the Ravens since two thousand and nine, nine of

545
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 3: their centers, their starting centers that they've had before Tyler

546
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 3: Linderbaum since two thousand and nine, are Day three picks

547
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 3: or acquired with Day three picks or undrafted free agents.

548
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 3: So I think I think the Chargers, and I think

549
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 3: it makes sense even just looking at the board of

550
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 3: players and where they are and the prospects in this class,

551
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 3: I think the Chargers are going to look to Day

552
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 3: three at any point to see if they can find

553
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 3: their center of the future. I just think they have

554
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 3: to find that next guy. For a very very long time,

555
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 3: or at least for more than a year. It's so

556
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 3: inconsistent right now with the Chargers. Even with Corey Linsley,

557
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 3: as great as he was, there were some inconsistencies, and

558
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 3: of course, like the health issues is not his fault

559
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 3: by any means, but they got to find that guy.

560
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 3: They absolutely have to find that guy if they want

561
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 3: to be successful, go deep into the postseason, really bring

562
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 3: this offense to the next level, will have a great

563
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 3: run game. They got to find their center of the future.

564
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean having a long term center just

565
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 2: solves so many issues. And I think Will Clap in

566
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 2: a vacuum as a backup was a better player than

567
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: he was given credit for. It was just that the

568
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 2: difference of communication, and you know, just the IQ multiplier

569
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 2: that Corey Lindsley was just had ramifications across the whole line.

570
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 2: And so when you lose that, like legitimate top notch center,

571
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 2: it just it affects everybody. It doesn't just affect the

572
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 2: left guard and the right guard. Affects the tackles, it

573
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 2: affects the quarterback, It affects the running game, affects everything.

574
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 2: And you look at kind of who Jim Harbaugh has

575
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 2: has had, Like center has been a position that they've

576
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 2: invested in across his tenure. They've recruited it really well.

577
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 2: They've had some centers go on into the NFL. I

578
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 2: forget his name, who's on the Seahawks right now, Helo

579
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 2: with Timmy, Yeah, a lot with Timmy was there like

580
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 2: top notch center. And so what's gonna be interesting to

581
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 2: see is the kind of body type that they prefer

582
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 2: if they prefer kind of a Bradley Boseman two point

583
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 2: zero body type, or if they are, if they're okay

584
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 2: with kind of an undersized center. But I completely agree

585
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 2: because it's just the effects of having a quality long

586
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 2: term center are so great in your favor. And then

587
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: also I think this is the best center class we've

588
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: seen in quite some time, from top to bottom. I

589
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 2: think the whole guy can play all five spots. Thing

590
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 2: when talking about an offensive line is a tad overrated.

591
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 2: Like Graham Barton, a lot of people view him as

592
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: a center, maybe in a pinch, but he's not a

593
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 2: true center. He played center as a freshman, but he's

594
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 2: played tackle. He's probably gonna settle into a guard. But

595
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 2: if you want to count him, you can count him.

596
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 2: But you have three potential top tier center prospects in

597
00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: Graham Barton and Jackson Powers Johnson as well as Zach Fraser.

598
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 2: So if they want to be aggressive in the first

599
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 2: round or early in the second round, they can do that.

600
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 2: But then these this collection of like round three, round

601
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 2: four center prospects, it just keeps going.

602
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: Man.

603
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 2: We talked about Mason McCormick on our mock Draft show

604
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 2: as somebody who could play center. Did the protections at guard,

605
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 2: which is very, very unique. But you look at Ceda

606
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 2: Van Prian, you look at Hunter nors At at Tanner

607
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 2: BORDERLINI I mentioned Bill Limber earlier, who could play center

608
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 2: guard for you. You know this group. You know Drake NuGen,

609
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 2: who obviously the team is familiar with. You have a

610
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 2: guy like the Toel Almeya from Utah who could play center,

611
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 2: who was the Utah's emergency center. There's just so many

612
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 2: different options, and so to me it feels very reminiscent

613
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 2: of last year's tight end class, where it's like, I

614
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 2: don't necessarily have like a I'm not super picky about

615
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 2: the choice. I just want a choice because this center

616
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 2: class is just so deep, so stacked with talent, and

617
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 2: I'm very anxious to see them get you know, that

618
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 2: center of the future knocked out of the way.

619
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, and they got to find not that

620
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 3: you can do this in year one, and you may

621
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 3: might not even do it with this particular center prospect.

622
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 3: But Herbert had outlets and comfort things and comfort players

623
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 3: and plays on the field. That was Keenan Allen. Okay,

624
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 3: if it's not Keenan Allen, who is It's probably Mike Williams. Okay,

625
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 3: I it's not him. It's maybe Austin Eckler. It's not him.

626
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 3: You have Corey Linsley taking care of everything. That's all changed,

627
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 3: and so you got to find the next consistent thing

628
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 3: that makes Herbert comfortable on the field. Could be a

629
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,959
Speaker 3: wide receiver at five, or tight end at five or whatever.

630
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 3: Certainly could be Bozman, could be Quentin Johnston, I think

631
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 3: is Josh Palmer. But you got to continue to establish

632
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 3: that that comfort. I think Herbert plays so much better

633
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 3: when he's comfortable, and that makes sense. Every quarterback plays

634
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 3: better when they're comfortable. But I do think with Herbert,

635
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 3: you got to find that guy. So I think center

636
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 3: is a great foundational building piece moving forward for Herbert

637
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 3: to play his best self.

638
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's just a natural transition, right. You have

639
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 2: Bozman on the one year deal. Herbert can handle a

640
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 2: lot of the protections, and so this center prospect and

641
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 2: sit and learn for a year and then transition right

642
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: into the starting role in year two. That was a

643
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 2: great one. I think my first one here. I need

644
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 2: to see the Chargers double dip at corner and they

645
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 2: signed Christian Fulton this week, and I really like I

646
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 2: think that's a good dart throw signing, but there's a

647
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 2: lot of risk there in terms of his availability. He's

648
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: never played a full season after his rookie season. You know,

649
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 2: he's been up and down. From a consistency standpoint. The

650
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,959
Speaker 2: peaks are certainly peaks that you're you're very interested in

651
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 2: and optimistic about. You know, twenty twenty one, he was

652
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 2: the guy who kind of was transitioning towards being at

653
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 2: potential top tier corner He was. The numbers of that

654
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 2: season were fantastic for him. You have as Santa Samuon

655
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 2: Junior on the roster, but he's a free agent after

656
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 2: next season and I'm not super sold on his fit

657
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: in this defense. And then you have just Here Taylor

658
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 2: and Dean Leonard, who are great special teams players.

659
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: I think Dean showed some flashes.

660
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 2: I think just Here so showing some flashes, but they've

661
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 2: never had the ability or opportunity rather to show really

662
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 2: the kind of consistency that you are. So that's a

663
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 2: lot of uncertainty at corner and cornerback is kind of

664
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 2: transition away from being like a top premium position in

665
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 2: the NFL based off like how they're paying it and

666
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 2: things like that, but it still is a position where

667
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 2: you have to have a pipeline of talent, and the

668
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 2: Chargers do not have that right now. And so I

669
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 2: look at what the Chiefs did a couple of drafts

670
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 2: ago when they were able to draft Trea McDuffie and

671
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 2: Joshua Williams. That's kind of like what I'm picturing. Maybe

672
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 2: not in the first round the charge straight down, that's

673
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 2: probably more of an option. But this is a great

674
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 2: cornerback class. I have twelve of them inside my top

675
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 2: sixty players so far. There's a lot of different flavors.

676
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 2: Whether you want somebody who can do inside, outside, straight outside,

677
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 2: play the slot. This is a draft class that can

678
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 2: give you a lot of different profiles. And so the

679
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: Chargers need a starting slot corner. They need a long

680
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 2: term outside corner option, and I think you have to

681
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 2: do that in the draft. They can go pay somebody

682
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 2: else in free agency if they want, But similar to center,

683
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 2: you've got to get some long term assets here into

684
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 2: the pipeline because right now you don't really have any.

685
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 2: So take advantage of a great cornerback class, take multiple bodies.

686
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 2: You have two fourth round picks courtesy of the Keenan

687
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 2: Allen trade. I think this is the right opportunity to

688
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 2: double dip at cornerback and give Jesse Minter a long

689
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 2: term option outside of the current players on the roster.

690
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 3: One hundred percent agree here. This corner class is awesome,

691
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 3: and I think that especially because this is a new regime,

692
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 3: new defensive play color, defensive coordinator scheme, etc. You want

693
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 3: to establish these guys early on, get them in year one,

694
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 3: and you're going to spend the next few years with

695
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 3: this group and everyone's going to understand what's going on

696
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 3: in this defense. So go get those guys. This corner

697
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 3: class is awesome. You can pick anything, any player you want,

698
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 3: any style you need, similar to wide receiver. I feel

699
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 3: good about it, and I'm looking through the list of

700
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 3: names that I've watched. I've watched only fifteen so far,

701
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 3: but I mean, you can get guys very late, like

702
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 3: a Josh Wallace from Michigan, obviously, but there's this nice

703
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 3: like round three, round four, maybe even into round five

704
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,439
Speaker 3: range of guys that are really good obviously, like Max

705
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 3: Melton probably goes second round. But then you're talking Cam Hart,

706
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 3: DJ James, Jerry and Jones. The slot corner from Florida State.

707
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 3: Love him. There's so many good corners. I know you

708
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 3: just watched Cam Hart. You are head over heels for

709
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 3: that guy for sure, because he's awesome. Like, there's so

710
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 3: many good corners. It really does feel like receiver. You know,

711
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 3: I'm waiting to be really disappointed. And maybe I don't

712
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 3: have a first round grade on everybody on fifteen players.

713
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 3: I don't, but you're never really disappointed. These guys are

714
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 3: all good. So I agree with you, go get one

715
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 3: of these guys. Maybe it's round four, but double dip

716
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 3: there for sure. Continue to get bodies, and I'll just

717
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 3: continue with that because we're on the same page. I'm

718
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 3: just a bit flipped because I say one of these

719
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 3: fourth round picks needs to be a wide receiver. I

720
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 3: think you have two of them. You know, maybe you

721
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 3: can use Keenan Allen's pick, the pick that you got

722
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 3: for him, to get a receiver. You're not getting Keenan

723
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 3: out in the fourth round. I don't think you're getting

724
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 3: a Pukuinakua player. The odds of that happening are very

725
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 3: very small for the Chargers, but you can get a

726
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 3: really good player. Do you want someone fast on the

727
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 3: outside who can fly and get open. So you can

728
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 3: get toaj Washington from USC You can get Anthony Gold

729
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 3: from Oregon State. Really like Anthony Gold. I wish more

730
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 3: people were talking about him because he played so much

731
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 3: on the outside and won so much on the outside.

732
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 3: He's not just your traditional like gadget speeds to your type.

733
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 3: You can do a lot on the outside. And oh,

734
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 3: by the way, he runs a four to three, Go

735
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 3: get him. You want a slot player, you know, go

736
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 3: ahead and get Malik Washington, who I still don't understand

737
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 3: why he's projected to go as low as he is,

738
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 3: but whatever, if he's there in the fourth round, go

739
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 3: get him. Who else? I liked Anaya Smith from Texas

740
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 3: A and M. You want a yak monster, go get him.

741
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 3: You know, shall acrossor to the house, go for it.

742
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 3: I like Utah's Devon Veile. I don't know if I'm

743
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 3: saying his name right. I don't know if that's a

744
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 3: fourth round selection. Probably again, like like yeah, like corner though,

745
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 3: there's so many of these guys. Pick whoever you want.

746
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 3: They're all fantastic, So whatever the Chargers need, you know,

747
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 3: Darius Davis will have a role. He's obviously their core

748
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 3: special teamer. He's going to be the returner, but this

749
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 3: team is going to need to cycle through some receivers.

750
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 3: Josh Palmer is in the final year of his deal,

751
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 3: so we don't know what the plan is there. So

752
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 3: who is that next guy? If Quinton Johnson doesn't work out?

753
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 3: Do you have someone else in the pipeline? Like continue

754
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 3: to add you take a receiver at five awesome, do

755
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 3: it again on day three, probably around that fourth round range.

756
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

757
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 2: I think Josh Palmer is kind of like the key

758
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,280
Speaker 2: thing here because Josh Palmer can play all three spots

759
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 2: for your team, so it just gives the Chargers a

760
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 2: lot of flexibility. I think that Quentin Johnson is best

761
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 2: suited as a backside Z receiver. I think that is

762
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 2: where his skill set can be maximized as somebody who

763
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 2: can be that yards after the catch guy be able

764
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 2: to have a little bit more space and flexibility.

765
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens there.

766
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 2: Obviously, his physical profile would theoretically translate to an X,

767
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 2: but I think he's a Z. I think Josh Palmer

768
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 2: can play anywhere, and so if you want, if you

769
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 2: get Marvin Harrison Junior, he's your ex Palmer's your slot,

770
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 2: Quentin Johnson is your Z, and then later on you

771
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 2: can get somebody else who can fill in maybe a

772
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 2: little bit of different roles as well. If you get

773
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 2: Leak Neighbors, Neighbors is your slot, Palmer's your.

774
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: Ex Quentin Johnson is your Z.

775
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 2: So it just it gives the charges a lot of

776
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 2: flexibility because Palmer can play anywhere and play anywhere really

777
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 2: well in my opinion, So he's kind of the key

778
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 2: thing for them because it just gives them that flexibility

779
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 2: to attack the wide receiver position in any facet.

780
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: But I I kind.

781
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 2: Of would prefer that that corner gets attacked in the

782
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 2: fourth round just because it is, you know, much easier

783
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 2: to find those wide receivers late than it is the

784
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 2: cornerback class. I know this is a great cornerback class,

785
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 2: but like you mentioned, these wide receivers can you can

786
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 2: pick them at any point in time. So I am

787
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 2: curious to see how much value is placed on the

788
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 2: wide receiver position. You know, Joe Hartiz and Jim Harbaugh

789
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 2: both highlighted, Hey, we really like the depth of this

790
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 2: wide receiver position. So what does that mean? Is that

791
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 2: a second and a fourth round pick Is it a

792
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 2: first and a fifth, Is it a second and a sixth?

793
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 2: Is it a first and a six Like, I think

794
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 2: there's a lot of different options here, and because Josh

795
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 2: Palmer can play all those spots, it just gives them

796
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 2: that added a flexibility going forward.

797
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, as Joe Hortiz said, even if they don't get

798
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 3: their guy, because this draft class is so good at receiver,

799
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 3: someone's getting cut. Someone on another team is getting cut

800
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 3: at that player and obviously a veteran maybe you know them,

801
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 3: have scottered them before, whatever, have some sort of history

802
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 3: with them. So Chargers are I think adding two receivers,

803
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 3: whether it is two in the draft, one of the draft,

804
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 3: win free agency after a cut, et cetera. But I

805
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 3: do really like that chunk of player at corners and

806
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 3: wide receivers in the fourth round.

807
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think as an adjacent point to that, to me,

808
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 2: I think you For me, it's it's they need more

809
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 2: explosive playmakers on offense. I mean, I like Josh Palmer,

810
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 2: I like Winton Johnson, I like Us Edwards. I like

811
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 2: the signings of Willdesley and and Hayden Hurst. There's not

812
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 2: a lot of explosive plays there. I mean Justin Herbert

813
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 2: can create explosive plays with his arm, but they do

814
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 2: need an explosive running back.

815
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 1: They need an explosive tight end.

816
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 2: You know, they need to find probably two guys who

817
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 2: can be you know, at that explosive element for this

818
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 2: team doesn't necessarily mean like you have to get like

819
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 2: a third.

820
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: Down scap back.

821
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean you have to get like an undersized

822
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 2: tight end or something like that.

823
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 3: You know.

824
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you have to go get Jahem Bell.

825
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you have to go get Blake Watson,

826
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 2: although those players are are fun to watch.

827
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 1: But I think.

828
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 2: Highlighting explosive playmaking potential is the approach that I would

829
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 2: like to see at wide receiver. That also does not

830
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 2: mean I am anti Marvin Harrison Junior or Romadunza. I

831
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 2: think those two players can also create explosive plays for you.

832
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 2: So it's just about giving this team easier opportunities to

833
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 2: create high end potential plays and not just have to

834
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 2: march down the field constantly with the run game and

835
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 2: short passing game and things like that. You need some

836
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 2: curve balls here in the form of explosive playmaking potential,

837
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 2: and I think that's probably my preference and how they

838
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 2: would highlight the playmaking positions in the draft is focusing

839
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 2: on that explosive playmaking potential.

840
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree. You have two good receivers or

841
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 3: at least guys you feel good about, and they at

842
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 3: least said they felt good about those guys. So if

843
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 3: you work in the play action game, go find those

844
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 3: explosive players. I like the idea of what Kellen Moore

845
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 3: was trying to do last year, but they could never

846
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 3: figure out the protection to hold up in those instances.

847
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 3: I'm pretty confident that gets figured out that Jim Harbaugh

848
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 3: and Greg Roman. So now go continue to mine through

849
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 3: that and go to those explosive plays because we saw

850
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 3: it in camp and we saw it with you know,

851
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 3: many plays throughout the season. It just the protection wouldn't

852
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 3: hold up as much. So you can figure out the

853
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 3: offensive line, continue to mind through those explosive playmakers. That's

854
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 3: where Justin Herbert exceeds succeeds.

855
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think if.

856
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 2: If if you watch the Michigan offense, that's a lot

857
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 2: of high low reads. You know, it's a lot of

858
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 2: Roman Wilson over the top, and I forget there are

859
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 2: other short receiver's name, but you know him underneath, or

860
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 2: or Colson lovel and the tight end who I love,

861
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 2: by the way, I very much would like to see

862
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,760
Speaker 2: him in the charters next year, or a J. Barner

863
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 2: or whoever the tight end was. It's a lot of

864
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 2: the let's go explosive first and then let's go short second.

865
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 2: And so they do need some guys who can create

866
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 2: explosive plays deep, although I think you have that in

867
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 2: Palmer and Clinton Johnston. So it's it's that intermediate short

868
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 2: area field be able to catch a five yard out route,

869
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 2: five yard slant round and be able to make it

870
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 2: a fifteen yard play or twenty yard player.

871
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: Or something like that.

872
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 2: So it's it's gonna be a lot of fun to

873
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 2: see how this all comes together. Man, we're officially one

874
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 2: month away from the draft as of today. Very important

875
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,280
Speaker 2: draft that really sets the tone for the Jim Harbad

876
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,280
Speaker 2: Joe or Tees regime. And we've highlighted this a ton today.

877
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 2: A lot of options for the Chargers at any position

878
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:10,479
Speaker 2: of need.

879
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: Draft strategy.

880
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 2: It really is their oyster this year because it just

881
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 2: it's the draft class fits all of their needs pretty perfectly.

882
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 3: Honestly, it's it's kind of scary that it does. You know,

883
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 3: I'm looking through and they've set themselves up a bit

884
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 3: for this, but the free agency moves like they've they've

885
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 3: made sure like, Okay, we're pretty solid new spots we

886
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 3: don't have to reach, So go get one of these

887
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 3: defensive tackles, corners, receivers, offensive tackles, you name it. I

888
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 3: guess it gets. Continuing with that, then don't take a

889
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 3: lion bracker in round two. You're going to have a

890
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 3: few good options there, like Junior Colson. I think it

891
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 3: is a genuinely good option. But this class man, detackle, receiver, corner,

892
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 3: whatever you take receiver in the first round, there's an

893
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 3: awesome corner sitting there in the second round that might

894
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 3: have been a first round or last year just happens

895
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 3: to be one of those classes. So I really really

896
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 3: don't need them to take a linebacker in the second round.

897
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 3: They'll take a good player if they do. But yeah,

898
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 3: like one of these corners, receivers or detackles go that way.

899
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: Yeah.

900
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 2: I think a linebacker and running back, tight end, as

901
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 2: much as it pains me as a rock powers guy,

902
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 2: I think those are positions you address on Day three.

903
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 2: You know, we're the league has dubbed that defensive tackle

904
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 2: as a premium position, so that's a thing now, and

905
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 2: so premium positions. Round one, round two, round three, I

906
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 2: think is the way you want to go with this,

907
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 2: and I think it just kind of it sets up

908
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:39,720
Speaker 2: really nicely.

909
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: Man.

910
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 2: They have a lot of great defensive tackle options, corner options.

911
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 2: Running back on Day three is really deep, really deep too.

912
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 2: So it's like it just kind of works. Like the

913
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 2: way that I look at this draft class for the Chargers,

914
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 2: it just like my brain, it just like works. It's

915
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 2: like an easy tetris game, if you will, this year,

916
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 2: as opposed to other pieces that you're like, we know

917
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 2: about this guy or that guy, or that guy's a

918
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 2: little bit complicated. This year just it just seems like

919
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 2: it lines up really nicely for the Chargers all the

920
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 2: way from one through seven.

921
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a lot of fun. This is going to

922
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 3: be I think the most fun I've had watching the

923
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 3: draft in quite some time. Like this is this is fun.

924
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 3: This is fun for the Charges. I'm excited for this organization.

925
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 3: It's so new, we don't know what they're going to do.

926
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 3: A blend of you know, different backgrounds with Jim, with

927
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 3: Joe Forties, current existing Chargers organization as well. I don't

928
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 3: know what's gonna happen. I really don't. Nobody does. Nobody

929
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 3: has any idea of what's going to happen technically. Jim

930
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 3: Harbaugh has even said that we don't know we're picking

931
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,680

00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 3: might know.

933
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,480

934
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,240
Speaker 2: at this point, but to your point, they have nine picks.

935
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 2: They could end up making more. I think they should

936
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 2: make more, just giving their needs and things like that.
