Speaker 1: Late fifteen to ten Touchdoup, Welcome to Chargers Weekly, and
Speaker 1: what a special treat the broadcast team is together, even
Speaker 1: though it is his busy season. Daniel Jeremiah kind enough
Speaker 1: to join us for a little bit.
Speaker 2: Of a preview.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be out of the combine, so four days
Speaker 1: there and certainly way too big of an ask for
Speaker 1: DJ to swing by all of the responsibilities you'll have
Speaker 1: on the NFL network and everything surrounding that. DJ, so
Speaker 1: certainly appreciate you coming in here and giving us a
Speaker 1: little bit of a preview of what we're going to
Speaker 1: be looking at when we make our way out to Indianapolis.
Speaker 1: Going to do a daily show Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, probably
Speaker 1: multiple shows we'll have for you. So just I guess
Speaker 1: first question overall is how's the class. The Chargers don't
Speaker 1: need a quarterback, so I don't need to focus on that,
Speaker 1: but otherwise, how is this draft class?
Speaker 3: It's interesting, I think I would say maybe a little lopsided.
Speaker 3: There's some years where it's just kind of spread only
Speaker 3: across the board. It's a not a great year for quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: I'll start with the negative, then I'll get to the positive.
Speaker 3: So it's not a great year for quarterbacks receiver. I've
Speaker 3: got some more guys to watch there before we get there.
Speaker 3: But as we you know, stand right now in the process,
Speaker 3: i'd say it's a little bit down at the wide
Speaker 3: receiver spot. So those are the ones where it's not
Speaker 3: quite what you'd want it to be. Now, the strength
Speaker 3: of it is, you've got defensive tackles galore. I mean,
Speaker 3: it's ridiculous. I tweeted this out the other day. I
Speaker 3: had twenty four guys at that position that I gave
Speaker 3: potential started grades. So I'm not saying slam dunk starters,
Speaker 3: but they at least had the potential to be starters.
Speaker 3: And for perspective, last year I had twelve. So it's
Speaker 3: stacked at defensive tackle. It's a good group of edge rushers.
Speaker 3: It's running back is really really deep. Tight end has
Speaker 3: a good seven or eight deep at the tight end position.
Speaker 3: So you get kind of a feel for it there
Speaker 3: of what the strengths and weaknesses look like.
Speaker 1: So you look at you know, let's just focus then
Speaker 1: in on the on the chargers. You talk about your
Speaker 1: defensive tackles, right, and you have, like you said, some
Speaker 1: really good ones. I was going through your top fifty
Speaker 1: and you see Kenneth Grant and Walton I'm just thinking
Speaker 1: of the guys that might be available when they pick
Speaker 1: at twenty two, right, whether it's Walter Nolan. Know there's
Speaker 1: some issues there off the field, but on the field,
Speaker 1: incredible Kenneth Grant, Derek Harmon. Then you kind of I
Speaker 1: get into your next tier with Alfred Collins and t J. Sanders,
Speaker 1: and then I look at the free agent pool and
Speaker 1: I see a guy that just dominated on Sunday at
Speaker 1: the interior line position in terms of Milton Williams, and
Speaker 1: you think about ODIGGI zooa, Like, so, how does that work?
Speaker 1: As someone who's been in the front office, you see
Speaker 1: what's available in the draft, you see these incredible players
Speaker 1: available in free agency, you have all this money, Like,
Speaker 1: what is that combination for what Joe Hortiz is going through?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's both sides of it, right.
Speaker 3: So you've got on the side of the existing team
Speaker 3: being the Philadelphia Eagles saying, man, we love Milton Williams
Speaker 3: and that was a heck of a game, but there's
Speaker 3: a whole bunch more detackles coming up, and we're going
Speaker 3: to be able to move our money around other places,
Speaker 3: and so we wish you the best and off you go.
Speaker 3: And then if you're Joe Hortiz, you look at it
Speaker 3: and say, okay, well, we want you know, we want
Speaker 3: an impact defensive tackle. We know we can find one
Speaker 3: in the draft here. But is this a situation where
Speaker 3: we say that would free us up, that would free
Speaker 3: us up for some of these other positions there in
Speaker 3: the first round. So literally they are taking and I'll
Speaker 3: just you know, take a card here. You are just
Speaker 3: taking a piece of paper and you're gonna write option A,
Speaker 3: option B player one player two player one player two,
Speaker 3: and you're gonna put this up on the board and
Speaker 3: you're gonna say, Okay, guys, which which package do we
Speaker 3: like better? Do we like the veteran with the rookie
Speaker 3: or the rookie with the veteran. And that's that's what
Speaker 3: you're doing.
Speaker 1: So what do you think, you know, let's just kind
Speaker 1: of go through that then. But just I don't know
Speaker 1: how comfortably are you know, sharing your position, considering your
Speaker 1: relationship with a lot of these guys in the front office.
Speaker 1: But Punaford heck of a year on a bargain tier
Speaker 1: tart heck of a year on a bargain deal. I
Speaker 1: feel like Morgan Fox has been just great in that room,
Speaker 1: plays with effort, solid veteran presence. Kind of what do
Speaker 1: you make of what's available to them, you know, considering
Speaker 1: what they had last year and all this money they
Speaker 1: have to spend, and how they might go about addressing
Speaker 1: because to me, that might be position number one that
Speaker 1: they're kind of in this conundrum with Yeah.
Speaker 3: You hear you know, we hear it with Jesse Minner
Speaker 3: the way he talks about kind of building the run
Speaker 3: wall and Puna Ford was the wall.
Speaker 2: I mean, he was outstanding in the job that he did.
Speaker 3: Tier Tart gave him some upfield penetration presence that they were,
Speaker 3: you know, sorely lacking. So those guys absolutely coming off
Speaker 3: big years. I'm curious to see how it all works
Speaker 3: out because my theory, and this is from seeing this
Speaker 3: in years past, is that the high end market guys,
Speaker 3: and I think maybe Milton Williams might fall into that,
Speaker 3: they're going to get their eighteen to twenty million like that,
Speaker 3: the high end guys, even when the draft is loaded
Speaker 3: the position, some team out there is going to pay
Speaker 3: the top dollar for the top guys who's going to
Speaker 3: get squeezed is that list right below them of real
Speaker 3: solid starting players. But I could see some team saying,
Speaker 3: you know, we can get one a similar type player
Speaker 3: in the third round this year. You know, maybe we
Speaker 3: don't dole out that money, so it could end up
Speaker 3: working out well for the Chargers and that maybe one
Speaker 3: or two or both those guys you end up getting
Speaker 3: back for in a normal year a price you wouldn't
Speaker 3: be able to get.
Speaker 1: Them at in terms of them versus like you said
Speaker 1: that next tier on Wuzo Rique Adiggy Zuoa, DJ Hill.
Speaker 1: Does it just when you're in the room and you're
Speaker 1: building a team, is it, Hey, we got our guys,
Speaker 1: they played well. It makes more sense the money is
Speaker 1: similar or maybe even a little less. Is that kind
Speaker 1: of how it works.
Speaker 3: I'm one hundred percent a fan of certainty. You know
Speaker 3: exactly how they fit. You know how they fit in
Speaker 3: the scheme, you know how they fit in the locker room.
Speaker 3: You know what they do well and what they struggle with.
Speaker 3: You understand how to help and cover up those things.
Speaker 3: Unless it's I mean to me, if it's even or
Speaker 3: even close to even you're keeping the guys you got
Speaker 3: I mean, it's got to be a significant improvement if
Speaker 3: you're going to swap out.
Speaker 1: That's stick on defense then an edge. And it's interesting
Speaker 1: to see kind of you know, yours compared to some
Speaker 1: of the other big boards that I've been cross referencing,
Speaker 1: and certainly the one name and I guess it just
Speaker 1: depends on whether or not you view him as an edge, right,
Speaker 1: and that's Johah Campbell, and so kind of walk us
Speaker 1: through if let's just say, Mike Green, if James Pierce slides,
Speaker 1: if they because that's the kind of to me, that's
Speaker 1: the most interesting position group. Is Khalil Mack coming back.
Speaker 1: I feel like he's not unretiring or he's not staving
Speaker 1: off retirement if he's not coming back, Yeah, what he
Speaker 1: do with Joey's thirty six million bucks is truly ready
Speaker 1: to be a full time star. And then I look
Speaker 1: at this group and it feels like this is a
Speaker 1: really deep group as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a fun group. And Campbell is an interesting
Speaker 3: one because he plays both. He plays off the ball,
Speaker 3: he plays on the ball, And you're going to see
Speaker 3: the same thing at the top of this draft with Walker,
Speaker 3: with Jalen Walker, who is someone who does both plays
Speaker 3: on and off the ball.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: When I watch Campbell rush, I'm sitting there and going, whoa,
Speaker 3: I could dream on that a little bit, like let
Speaker 3: him just stay out there and let him rush full
Speaker 3: time and see what he can do.
Speaker 2: I thought he was just a really really.
Speaker 3: Dynamic player who's long, explosive, and who can do so
Speaker 3: many different things. And you know, one of the cool
Speaker 3: things is is you watch the tape and you kind
Speaker 3: of fall in love with the player, and then you
Speaker 3: call the school and I'm talking to the guys at
Speaker 3: Alabama and They're like, I'm like, man, this guy popped
Speaker 3: like crazy. You know, I just you know what, you know,
Speaker 3: what was the difference and how did it go? He said,
Speaker 3: this guy came in here and we had Will Campbell
Speaker 3: and then we had Gosh with the with the Vikings
Speaker 3: last year their first round pick.
Speaker 2: Why am I blanking on his name? Money? Their edge
Speaker 2: r Miles Turner.
Speaker 1: Oh, Miles Turner.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So they have both those.
Speaker 3: Guys, and You're sitting here going, well, we got two
Speaker 3: first round picks, two high first round picks. So they
Speaker 3: were like, well, we got to get this guy in
Speaker 3: the field. He's too athletic, so they move him to
Speaker 3: off the ball. He was an edge rusher in high school,
Speaker 3: they never really been an off the ball linebacker, and
Speaker 3: turned himself into a first round player as an off
Speaker 3: the ball linebacker. But I still think when I look
Speaker 3: at him, I'm like, dude, this guy could still you
Speaker 3: might put him outside. You might have something really special
Speaker 3: with him.
Speaker 1: So let's uh, you know what, then let's just execute
Speaker 1: this sort of that. Let's do this exercise right edge
Speaker 1: interior lineman, uh wide receive. It was Dallas Turner, by
Speaker 1: the way, Dallas Turner, that's what it center for the
Speaker 1: Indiana Pacers. There you go, there you go. So and
Speaker 1: you know what, First, let's get into the tight end group.
Speaker 1: You said seven or eight, But what's the gap? Because
Speaker 1: you have Colston Lovelan as your number seven guy, I
Speaker 1: can't remember what you had Tyler Warren.
Speaker 3: As he's up there above him. So I have there
Speaker 3: five and seven. So I have Tyler Warren at five,
Speaker 3: I have Colston Loveland at seven. Then I have Mason
Speaker 3: Taylor at thirty five, who I love, Elijah Royos at
Speaker 3: forty nine. So those are the guys in my top fifty.
Speaker 3: But I mean that's a that's a great group and
Speaker 3: of like in terms of the value there, right man,
Speaker 3: you get if you get Mason Taylor in the second round,
Speaker 3: I mean that's I mean, he's going to catch eighty
Speaker 3: balls a year and it's going to be you know,
Speaker 3: just reliable. He does not drop the ball. You know
Speaker 3: where he's gonna be. He's got a big catch radius.
Speaker 3: He's a really quarterback friendly target. To me, I think
Speaker 3: he's a he's going to be an outstanding value. So
Speaker 3: that's that's kind of that. Do you think he'll be
Speaker 3: there at fifty five?
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm a little doubtful on that coming off of
Speaker 3: a strong senior ball. I'll tell you what I will.
Speaker 3: I will give you a firm yes or no after
Speaker 3: the combine. Right, so let's run, he runs, Well, he
Speaker 3: ain't gonna be there.
Speaker 1: So let's say what like what what to you is
Speaker 1: more value getting Colston Lovelan, your number seven player at
Speaker 1: twenty two if he's sitting there, if you think he's
Speaker 1: and I don't know if you think he's gonna be
Speaker 1: sitting there, or getting let's say Taylor's gone a royo
Speaker 1: at fifty five, Like, what what sort of lines.
Speaker 3: I would I would I would look at love one
Speaker 3: as the as the play there. Even though you have
Speaker 3: some depth and even though man we can, we don't
Speaker 3: have to take a tight end.
Speaker 2: I think we get someone like a Royo.
Speaker 3: You know, Fanning from Bowling Green's gonna be around in
Speaker 3: that next you know, second third round you got Ferguson
Speaker 3: from Oregon, who's an intriguing player. There's there's other guys
Speaker 3: for sure, but I don't know that you're gonna get
Speaker 3: the impact you're gonna get with Krin.
Speaker 1: So what like, what is he? What is he compared
Speaker 1: to for people? Because it's not like there was great
Speaker 1: quarterbacking there. The numbers aren't eye popping. So like if
Speaker 1: you draft Colston Loveland, can you make that Hey, this
Speaker 1: is sort of who we compares closest to in the NFL.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna just do what you're not ever supposed
Speaker 3: to do in this business and compare guys to Hall
Speaker 3: of famers. But he is, like a Kelsey is the
Speaker 3: type of player that you're dealing with. I mean that's
Speaker 3: I just put tight ends and I say there's two trees. Right,
Speaker 3: You've got the Gronk tree, in the Kelsey tree. So
Speaker 3: when you look at Tyler Warren, he comes from the
Speaker 3: Gronk tree. You know, big physical seam runner can help
Speaker 3: the run game. You know, he's gonna be just impossible
Speaker 3: to get on the ground after they catch because of
Speaker 3: his brute strength. And then you've got more of the
Speaker 3: choice route option route field players with the quickness and
Speaker 3: the suddenness. That's the Kelsey tree and that's where where
Speaker 3: levelin falls. And I just I mean, if you want
Speaker 3: to talk about matching up with him and you have
Speaker 3: Mconkie in the in the slot, good luck man like
Speaker 3: that that they are going to torture the middle of
Speaker 3: the field.
Speaker 1: All right, So let's go to because there's a few
Speaker 1: positions and heat tight end certainly feels like one two
Speaker 1: I'd be. I'm hopeful that they'll bring back JK. Dobbins
Speaker 1: thought that was just an incredible season from him, but
Speaker 1: obviously with injury concern he ends up missing four games.
Speaker 1: You gotta sort of support that. It feels like it's
Speaker 1: a great running back draft. So when you look at
Speaker 1: running back, you know, let's say Ashton Genty's falls to
Speaker 1: twenty two. If what do you do there. Now you've
Speaker 1: got Loveland, You've got jet Like, do you think that's
Speaker 1: a possibility that genty could fall the way to twenty
Speaker 1: two or now?
Speaker 3: I think it's possible just because of the position he plays.
Speaker 3: I don't technically own track spikes, but if I did,
Speaker 3: I would probably put him on to run the card
Speaker 3: up to the commissioner. I love Ashton gent Man. I
Speaker 3: think he's one of the five best players in the draft.
Speaker 3: I think he's outstanding, so I would have no problem
Speaker 3: with that. But again, that's the decision and the discussion
Speaker 3: that takes place in the in the meeting room, which is,
Speaker 3: you know, similar to the one we just had, which is, okay,
Speaker 3: we have him grated up. Here be a great value
Speaker 3: for us if we got him, but we could also
Speaker 3: fill one of these shallower pools of players with our
Speaker 3: first round pick.
Speaker 2: No on we have backscalore in this draft. We turn
Speaker 2: around get one second or third.
Speaker 1: So give us a couple of names to keep it
Speaker 1: for these guys, to keep it out for our listeners
Speaker 1: to and viewers here on YouTube, to keep an eye
Speaker 1: on in the in the at the combine, because like
Speaker 1: you said, it's you got the two out of out
Speaker 1: of Ohio State that we just saw perform at an
Speaker 1: incredibly high level in Judkins and Henderson. If they're available,
Speaker 1: what is that a two? Are they a third?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: And then you got I mean, I can throw Skataboo
Speaker 1: as the one that everybody's excited about. I don't know
Speaker 1: what his pro prospects are, but kind of walk us
Speaker 1: through that position.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I'm a Scataboo is a fun one. I
Speaker 3: think he's gonna you know, he's third. Fourth round is
Speaker 3: where he's gonna go. He's there's a chance. I was,
Speaker 3: you know, doing some homework and talking where these guys
Speaker 3: are training and talking to a bunch of folks, and
Speaker 3: it sounds like he's got a chance to run the
Speaker 3: four fives. He runs in the four fives, he'll probably
Speaker 3: run his way into the third round. He's a good
Speaker 3: player to me when you look at the list, Treyvon
Speaker 3: Henderson's got a chance to go in the first round
Speaker 3: out of Ohio State because of the.
Speaker 2: Jamiir Gibbs factor.
Speaker 3: You know, people saw us a running back with big time,
Speaker 3: big time juice, explosiveness and the impact he made with Detroit,
Speaker 3: and I think there's you know, gonna be some of
Speaker 3: those comparisons with Travon Henderson.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's as.
Speaker 3: Loose of a runner, like quite as fluid as Jamier Gibbs,
Speaker 3: but he's got tremendous value in the past game. He's
Speaker 3: a home run hitter and really, you know, in that
Speaker 3: pass game, probably one of the best pass protecting running
Speaker 3: backs that I that I've evaluated in the last handful
Speaker 3: of years. So he's gonna go twenty to thirty five
Speaker 3: forty in that range would be my guess. If you
Speaker 3: don't take him in the first if you're the charges,
Speaker 3: you're not going to see him in the second round.
Speaker 3: I don't think Judkins is going to be in that
Speaker 3: you know, probably mid to late two to, you know,
Speaker 3: middle three is.
Speaker 2: The range for him.
Speaker 3: Omarion Hampton has got a chance to go in the
Speaker 3: first round from North Carolina. He in talking to the
Speaker 3: folks where he's training money. He's two hundred and twenty
Speaker 3: three pounds, he's got six percent body fat and like
Speaker 3: all of the power explosiveness stuff he does is like
Speaker 3: in the one hundred percentile of the guys they've trained there.
Speaker 3: So he's a freak. So he's going to another one.
Speaker 3: I think with him and Henderson, both those guys are
Speaker 3: going to go twenties thirty. So but for the charges,
Speaker 3: if you want to go down the line and find
Speaker 3: some value, I like the idea of trying to, you know,
Speaker 3: bring back JK. Dobbins and then maybe pair him with
Speaker 3: a real dynamic, explosive player, a home run hitter. And
Speaker 3: you look at you know, Dylan Samson from Tennessee, he
Speaker 3: can hit some home runs. Jayden Blue down the line
Speaker 3: from Texas, who can really catch the heck out of
Speaker 3: it out of the backfield. He's a little a little tight,
Speaker 3: but he's got huge, huge speed. Those are a couple
Speaker 3: of interesting ones, and we'll see what Caleb Johnson runs
Speaker 3: runs from Iowa. He's a big fast runner. Kind of
Speaker 3: think of you know, if you think of the Chiefs
Speaker 3: and what they had when it was going well with
Speaker 3: them in the backfield, when you're like you look back
Speaker 3: there and you go, okay, oh that's what that seventh
Speaker 3: round pick. Oh my gosh, I can't believe that we
Speaker 3: found this gem. But you know, it's there's limits there.
Speaker 3: It's just straight line speed. It's a little bit tight,
Speaker 3: but man, you hit a crease and you're gone.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go corner. Because certainly the front office,
Speaker 1: led by Joe Ortiz and Chad Alexander, found two gems
Speaker 1: in Hart and Target guys that you put out there,
Speaker 1: and certainly, you know, maybe not elite level corners, but
Speaker 1: great production. Especially tar He's still ball production. You would
Speaker 1: assume going into next season they're they're in the conversation
Speaker 1: as starters one outside. Maybe Tarheb's is your slot corner
Speaker 1: there or your nickel corner, however you wanted to name him?
Speaker 2: What about this?
Speaker 1: I mean, you have a guy at corner in Barron
Speaker 1: that every other big board, I don't see him anywhere
Speaker 1: near where you have. You got him at seven. I
Speaker 1: got other boards that have him in the forties. So
Speaker 1: kind of walk us through that player, and I would
Speaker 1: imagine that's going to change right after the combine and
Speaker 1: as we get closer to the draft.
Speaker 2: I've done this a couple of times last few years.
Speaker 3: So I did it with Sauce Gardner and it was like,
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, you're crazy. I did it with Devin
Speaker 3: Witherspoon and he can't have that guy up there.
Speaker 2: He's tiny. What are you gonna do with him.
Speaker 3: This tape is so good and I'm just watching these
Speaker 3: guys going through one after another, and he is unbelievable
Speaker 3: as a nickel and coverage. He's got incredible ball skills.
Speaker 3: He does not his tackles. If you watch that Super
Speaker 3: Bowl and saw Cooper Degene and what his impact was
Speaker 3: in that game, this is a similar type of player
Speaker 3: and Baron in what you're getting there. And if I
Speaker 3: think the league had a do over, maybe Cooper Degene
Speaker 3: doesn't fall to the fortieth pick. Brian Branch. Look at
Speaker 3: the impact that he's had with the Detroit Lions. For
Speaker 3: some reason, the league has decided, oh, we're not gonna
Speaker 3: you know, we're not going to take those guys up high.
Speaker 3: I think it's idiotic. His tape is outstanding and right
Speaker 3: you know, the question was, Wow, he's playing the nickel
Speaker 3: because he can't really run, you know, That's that's why
Speaker 3: they put him in there at nickel. And I'm like, well,
Speaker 3: I don't see any issues with him running when I'm
Speaker 3: watching him on tape and when I talk to the
Speaker 3: folks that are training him, and the second number starts
Speaker 3: with a three, I don't know that seems.
Speaker 2: Good to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so behind him, you have him ahead of Will Johnson.
Speaker 1: Everybody's got Will Johnson is like a top seven.
Speaker 2: And Will Will could Will could. You know, Will could
Speaker 2: easily end up going ahead of him just because he's
Speaker 2: so big.
Speaker 3: My Will project is, once I get through watching all
Speaker 3: these guys for the combine, I'm gonna circle back to
Speaker 3: twenty three tape because the twenty four wasn't as good,
Speaker 3: and I want to go back and see him at
Speaker 3: his best because there is some precedent there. When you
Speaker 3: look at Derek Stingley junior, you know his last year
Speaker 3: at LSU, Right, it's not as good, but the guy
Speaker 3: knew he's going to be a top ten pick. The
Speaker 3: team ended up not having a great year, and his
Speaker 3: play kind of fell off a little bit and he
Speaker 3: missed some games. It's the exact same thing with Will Johnson.
Speaker 3: So that may bite one of those deals when I
Speaker 3: go back to twenty three tape and maybe he slides
Speaker 3: that up again.
Speaker 1: All right, we know you got to get out of here.
Speaker 1: Let's wrap this up. Interior offensive lineman guards centers, and
Speaker 1: certainly you know we know that we've heard tip of
Speaker 1: the spear, We've heard what coach our boss said, and
Speaker 1: and kind of what one of my favorite names out
Speaker 1: of the Senior Bowl, Gray's Abel. You know that we
Speaker 1: heard you talking about him an awful lot, but kind
Speaker 1: of walked us through the interior lineman in the draft
Speaker 1: versus free agency with Freeze and I know that Dolman
Speaker 1: I think is the center out of Atlanta. So just
Speaker 1: kind of how that matches up free agency versus the draft.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I I think it's a better interior
Speaker 3: group than it is a tackle group in this coming draft.
Speaker 3: But I Gray Zabel was one of my favorites. You know,
Speaker 3: he was one that's you know, I feel like I'm
Speaker 3: going out on a limb when i put him in
Speaker 3: the second round, like in my top fifty in the forties,
Speaker 3: and then you go to the Senior Bowl, I'm like, well,
Speaker 3: actually that was too low on him. Someone who has
Speaker 3: five position flexibility, who did what Quinnon Mitchell did at
Speaker 3: corner in the Senior Bowl, which was go from a
Speaker 3: you know, a non power school from Toledo and just dominate.
Speaker 3: And he did the same thing out North Dakota State.
Speaker 3: So he's someone I think could be in the mix.
Speaker 3: I think he'd be a plug and play center for
Speaker 3: the Chargers and set it and forget it, you know,
Speaker 3: for the next decade.
Speaker 1: It would that have to be a first round pick.
Speaker 2: You're not going to see him at fifty five, No chance.
Speaker 4: It's it's kind of like a Graham Barton deal from
Speaker 4: last Yes, yep, exactly. Just watch that steady, steady rise
Speaker 4: and steady climb. Booker from Alabama is the guard that
Speaker 4: I'm kind of enamored with. He is big, he's powerful,
Speaker 4: the intelligence in the leadership stuff that you get from
Speaker 4: the school when you talk to him off the charts,
Speaker 4: you know, when they tell me he's the Will Anderson
Speaker 4: of the offense and JC Latham should give him half
Speaker 4: of his signing bonus. I'm like, Okay, that stands out
Speaker 4: a little bit as the kind of guy you'd like.
