HIT BY SPIKES Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) Given the Chargers have no 2nd round draft pick due to their previous trade with Chicago for Mack, they will patiently wait until the last possible second for a trading partner to trade down from the 17th overall pick. Why wppete would give a thumbs down to my simple post announcing the Chargers desire to trade down is unclear. Then again, I don't post here very often and couldn't really give a crap why. Use your words if you are capable. The Chargers are open for business. Edited April 19, 2022 by HIT BY SPIKES 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 With the 15th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft....the Philadelphia Eagles select.... Devin Lloyd / LB / Utah. Lloyd was 2nd in college football with 22 TFL's. He also had 8 sacks and 6 PBU's. The young man can do it all. He can play multiple LB positions if need be as well. He also isn't afraid to hit a would be blocker right in the mouth. We haven't had an enforcer like this in the middle of our defense since Jeremiah Trotter. Lloyd will be that enforcer, but with the modern day athleticism it takes to be successful at the position. He can play the run, we can send him on the blitz, and drop him into coverage without hesitation. A true 3-Down LB. The Jets and @Big Blitz are on the clock 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIT BY SPIKES Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Take your time with the pick Jets. I have a dentist appointment at 10:00 AM ET and would love to wait until after the appointment to make the Chargers pick to allow as much time as possible to make a trade down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIT BY SPIKES Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) Just so potential trade partners know what the Chargers intend to do at #17 if there is not a trade down, there is only the Jets pick before the Chargers pick and WRs Williams, Olave and Wilson are still undrafted. Justin Hubert needs targets more than Josh Allen does, so the Chargers will simply draft one of the WRs that remain after the Jets pick. So if you covet one of those WRs, I suggest you package your 1st round draft pick along with your second round pick and make an offer quickly. Yes, other offers have already been made to the Chargers for the #17 pick. Edited April 19, 2022 by HIT BY SPIKES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 This seems like a terrible draft setup for the Bills so far. There's only a few guys left I think worth taking at 25, or else I would want to trade back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he a guy you care that much about having that you are willing to make that jump? I am not sold. If the Lions decide they want a QB out of this draft they will take Malik Willis at #2 IMO. EDIT: because the Lions don't need a guy who can just play competent football. They have that in Goff. They need a QB who can be a difference maker and be "the guy" long term. That to me says you take Willis or you wait until next year. Taking the 3rd or 4th guy out of a weak class doesn't move the needle.

They may have a 2nd round grade on a handful of QBs with Willis rated behind others. If they have Corral, Pickett, Howell or Ridder rated above Willis it makes sense to not reach, take the BPA and either roll the dice that they fall to them @ 32 or to trade up for them. the chargers took LT #5 overall and then draft Brees @ 32. They didn’t use #5 on brees because they didn’t think he was worth that draft section. They rolled the dice and got both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t agree with this. Just because team team views a QB worthy of their 2nd round pick, that doesn’t mean they also think they’re worth the 2nd overall pick. That line of thinking pretty much eliminates any QB from ever being selected in rd 2 or in a trade up. it’s not a black and white matter. There is a lot of grey area in between. the bengals took AJ green #5, then Dalton in rd 2. the niners took aldon smith #7, then took kap rd 2. why? Because they didn’t think the qb was worthy of a top 10 pick….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it’s tough to have the same exact situation as another team….but I think that we can agree that it would be a stupid move to draft a Qb @ 2 overall if you have a 2nd round grade on them. You don’t have a 1st rd grade on any of these guys…..if you were the lions GM (and you had a handful of guys with 2nd rd grades, like you do) would you take any of these guys @ 2?
