The Chargers are an example of a franchise who have done a great job recently just drafting good players that fall into their laps regardless of need/positional importance. titanskick8851, and titanruss 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite differencing making players always trump extra draft picks and role/average players. RTs/RBs and Austin Johnson are a dime a dozen regardless of the shape of the roster titanskick8851 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't change passing on Bosa/Ramsey for much lesser positions/players And it's TBD on how elite Evans or Landry are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans/Landry have the potential to be very good but i'm not sure they were considered potentially elite prospects. Just think if a guy like Simmons who is a top 5 talent in this year draft drops into our laps this year due to his injury JRob should take him even if it means potentially waiting till 2020 to see him on the field. Same goes for guys like Bradbury/Hockenson/Ford/Lindstrom while C/TE/RG aren't exactly glaring immediate holes that need to be filled, why not grab a prospect that could be potentially elite at their position if they are available at #19.

I would take Simmons over any of the IOL. That guy has the chance to be a game changer. titanskick8851 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minus the extra picks? I'd say that is very debatable. One guy doesn't make a team. How are the Cardinals doing with Patrick Peterson at CB? The only guy I don't take that trade for is a QB if we needed one. In fact the Chargers at 12-4 had a better season with Bosa having only 5.5 sacks and playing less than a half season (wow, how did that even happen). And how did the Jags do with all their high flyers including Ramsey. Traditionally the teams that really do well are the ones who through luck or skill find superstars all over the draft. Like Byard. This idea we can have trash except for a few Bosa's has been proven wrong every year since the NFL started. Yet we have experts claiming that all the time? Wow, so there are about a dozen elite players in this draft.. Yea, hope we get one...... People just don't get it. Year after year after year the same thing happens. Look back 3-5 years and check it out. All those super studs listed before the draft are what? Decent player maybe.... some suck, some are out of the league. And guess what. There are studs dotted all through the draft. Gee where were AB taken, or Bell? The Steelers had two superstars they took no where close to the top 10. The discussion is more based around switching from a BPA at a position of need mentality that JRob has run with to a BPA strategy. There is no doubt while building a solid core to the roster JRob has passed on higher rated players to draft guys that have filled holes in the roster, that philosophy isn't as relevant now the roster has a more solid foundation.

Tomachek Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 I have a funny feeling we are going offense early a combination of TE/WR/G/C and filling out the defense later in the draft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
