Chargers Draft: Sizzling Hot Takes (2024) | Director's Cut 

The director energy is back. Idk if it’s the draft excitement or him being welcomed into the chargers facility. I love it!

I’d like Rome on a trade back over Nabers, since he’s a true X. Palmer and Johnston then would take the Y and Z accordingly, creating a true WR room

Love your optimism. I enjoyed your live draft show last year. I appreciate you sticking up for QJ last year, especially emphasizing his speed during the live draft despite the a majority of fans saying they should have drafted Zay Flowers. When a lot of fans jumped off the playoff hope wagon mid season last year, you stayed the course . Your optimism is contagious. Keep up the good work.

I keep hearing you mentioning brock Bowers and I like it

Lights, camera, CHARGERS!

Always a good day when I can come home and see a director video notification

Can't wait for next week! I'll be down in Detroit for the draft all weekend!

It’s going to be interesting to see if the staff ends up trading up more for earlier and fewer picks or trade down to get more picks.

We are drafting OL, DL, or Cb if we trade down to 10+

You could be right multiple trades

Agree on the OL take! The Michigan OL men are falling to the 7th round in some mocks, some of them even may be undrafted, (Nugent, Jones, Barnhart) and they would be good pieces for depth… I would like to get the tackle from Yale though, maybe on the 3rd rd, and JPJ if he falls to 37th… Dont move from 5! Nabers is gonna be elite! … and yes we need 2 wrs and 2cbs Is gonna be interesting, even after draft, watching the team build to the season

I like it!

I'll take your under 11.5 picks for the draft. Also, your intro video needs to be updated. You still have Keenan, Mike Williams, and Austin Ekeler in it. Can't wait to watch your draft party Thursday.⚡🙂⚡

Bowers and then McConkey. Then we start hittin' teams in the mouth. Can't wait for the "East Coast tough guy" run game. See how long that lasts.

If we get 11 and 23 should we trade 23 to the Redskins for their 2nd and 3rd? Edit: I doubt we'd give up this year's draft capital, Pete Carroll pretty much built the Legion of Boom off of his college coaching experience and knowledge of the talent there

Let's Gooo!!!!!

Hi Director if the Chargers make the trade with Minnesota and we get 11 and 23 and then we trade both picks afterwards. Let’s say for the 11th pick we get a 2nd and a third and for pick 23 we end up getting a 2nd and a 4th. So we end up having three second round picks, two third round round picks and in the fourth round we would have three picks. Does this make sense?

Your most intriguing take was that the Chargers may surprise us with a Line Backer.

I'd rather have 7 quality picks then a couple good ones and 10 scrubs. Trading down a lot is nice but having to keep picking at bottom of rounds you're pretty much always getting next round talent. Just saying

I just wanna say Herbert to Harrison has such a nice ring to it. No way we are drafting a RB or TE after all the FA pick ups. It’s pretty obvious.

Man if we could get a bunch of Michigan players I’d be pumpeddd. Colson Jenkins Sanristil.. ooweeee

Director you are talking my language!!!!

I can really see us passing on RBs this draft and picking some up from udfas

Ive seen some mocks wbere ae trade down with Minn. When we pick @ 11 Bowers is still there, @ #11 ws take Johnson Jr # LSU guy. I'D be all over the Surtain trade in a heart beat.

I am very much about that trade with the Broncos! I hope that could really happen, that may be the best trade package there is.

"Winning football games has cured more ills than penicillin."

Would not be shocked to see the Bolts draft two CB in the first three rounds, especially if they are able to trade down in Round 1

The "no oline until day 3" is really likely in my opinion, unless they grab a centre in the 2nd! But no OTs before day 3 for sure.

Over ❤let’s goooo😅😅😅

OL not until the fourth: If the staff feels confident with Sayler and/or Pickens starting at Right tackle this year than I love the idea of not having to get an OT earlier.

Really dont want Rome as a top 10 pick if we traded back. Id prefer MHJ, Nabers or Bowers (if we traded back not at 5) over Rome

Our OL got Herbert hurt. We definitely need the upgrade.

Eight picks in the first four rounds would have a big impact on the team.

Agree the Chargers might not draft a RB this year, we don't need it. We have more urgent needs! Also, liking the new hairdo, looks great, Director!

I think the trade in 3rd to pick up extra 3rd n 4th is huge to end up with 3 4ths and 2 3rds cause u gotta go wr or db then tackle with your first 2 picks in first round via trade bck then iol wit early 2nd this here is why id prefer taking arnold or mitchell at 11 fuaga at 23 barton or pawers johnson at 37 then go like troy franklin brenden rice bck to bck in 3rd round take junior colson corrum amd sainsrstill in the 4th then luke mccafrey in the 5th with a saftey and edge to end the draft

Also have Jarret Patterson at RB

@ Director, here's 1 to pop yer cranium: NE trades w/LV, AZ trads w/DEN, LAC trade/ MIN , then we trade. back up w/NYG & We get Bowers, Odunze & RT of our choice...😢😮😅😂

Wow that no RB take, hate it.. lol but does make sense. Maybe Frank Gore jr undrafted 🤔

broo imagine having surtain chargers D is going to be crazy

COMPLETELY agree no need to draft RB! Finally, someone that makes sense.

If the coaching staff along with Ben Herbert think that this O line can improve with their tutelage, then that take may not be crazy stud. O line regressed last year maybe due to the loss of Frank Smith? This all-star coaching staff may be the difference.

Playmakers, playmakers, playmakers

Good morning, DIRECTOR, IT'S ME TIMOTHY, I THINK THE CHARGERS SHOULD KEEP THE 1ST ROUND PICK ,AND USE THE 2ND ROUND TO TRADE BACK TO GET EXTRA PICKS.

Im all for not drafting a RB. I'd like to see what Harbaugh canndo with CJ, and Dotson. Dotson showed some good skills in preason than all sudden was Ghosted same.

Lights camera Ravens.

I really really hope that we stick and pick at 5 and take 1 of the top 3 wr's. I don't think that we just can't pass on one of them and be a even decent team this yr. 2nd tier wr's aren't going to let us get past KC NO WAY! I don't care how good our coaches are we're just not going to be able to.

Every time you trade down the talent gets less. More picks is not always better.

I would be happy if a Running back was not selected this year if they like the 5 running backs they have all ready!

⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

I am at the point where if at pick #5 Marvin Harrison Jr is our #1 guy on our draft board & he's taken I'm trading down with Minnesota and I am not sold on guys we've brought in on 1 year deals meaning although we signed Bradley Bozeman I'm still concerned with Center long - term & RT I still believe we'd take a RT with #11 or #23. Now with how stacked this WR Class is I'd say between rounds 2-4 we double down on WR. We coukd even Go back to back especially with this class. I wouldn't be surprised tho if we were to grab an extra 2nd or 3rd round pick with the #23. like trade with Arizona possibly 🤔. Where I'm getting at is imagine this & bare with me. 1.11. Jackson Powers-Johnson 1.27. J.C Latham 2.35. T'Vondre Sweat 2.37. Keon Coleman 3.69. Mike Sainristill 3.90.Troy Franklin Just a thought that has been on my mind

We're getting Nate Wiggins and Brian Thomas jr

nah not worth trading down if we’re able to pick nabers at #5

Imagine picking up Nabers and Thomas 🤷🏾‍♂️

My hot take: Chargers Trade down twice from a first round spot.

If Harbaugh had a solid professional wr in his Niners days he would have won a SB. Must grab that top notch wr. The Chargers haven't drafted a game breaking wr since Anthony Miller.

One week to the day! All eyes on you Hortiz! All eyes on you Director! BTFU!

I don't think McCarthy is getting picked until pick 6 by Giants or 11-32. I have him going to the Giants or Vikings by sticking at their spot or possibly falling to Bronchoes or Faiders.

At some point the Chargers will have at least 11 picks in the draft. They may not end up with 11 players though.

I can see a running back getting drafted in rounds 5-7 unless they trade some of their picks to move up.

First! Let’s go bolts

Den won't trade Sertain & they don't have enough draft capital 😅

So many needs, we have to trade out of 5.

I Will Keep Saying,No WR until rnd 3, Trenches, Trenches, Trenches

Cardinals already said if they don't trade outta #4 They Pick WR Marvin Harrison Jr What will our Bolts do then stay at #5 draft WR Malik Nabers Or Trade Down??? No Joe Alt at #5 ⚡⚡⚡⚡

Don’t really want nabers. Seems like a liability due to his unregistered firearm found in his vehicle

Hopefully NO OL until 3rd day🙏🏼

Offensive line is not a position you generally develop late round guys for. Physical freaks get taken early. I think it’s a bad take

I'd love for the chargers to trade down with the vikes and get Bowers at 11. that way raiders and broncos dont draft him.if 4 QB's and 3 W R go in first 7 picks, 8, 9, and 10 might draft OL, edge, or CB and get the top player at those positions. if we dont take bowers at 11, raiders or broncos probably will. Herb hasn't had a Winslow, or Gates, or Kelce, or Gronk. he has had to use Ekeler in that role. Ekeler is gone. Herb needs a relief valve he can dump it off to who can get YAC. imagine a stout run game, AND a play maker at tight end. make defenses stack the box, then take your shot deep. make them choose their poison. stop the ground and pound, or defend the deep end of the field. Hopefully, Q J will redeem himself this year.

I want to watch football without the restrictions of blackouts or cable.

What’s the deal with your hair? 😂

As a life long FSU fan PLEASE DO NOT DRAFT JOHNNY WILSON! im appreciative of him and what he did at fsu but he is as inconsistent as they come and he had alot of absolutely TERRIBLE drops

PLEASE DONT DO BAD TAKES DIRECTOR !!! NOOO!!! LOL

Rome over Nabers that sounds like you don't know football. SEC TESTED NFL READY 4.35 42 INCH VERTICAL. NO WONDER ROME DIDNT TEST. STOCK DROPPING

Word on the street is that Chargers are gunna trade away their 1st round pick, their 2nd round pick, and next years 2nd round pick, and Justin Herbert all to the Bears for #1 pick, Harbaugh will draft Caleb Williams stunning the football world, opening up cap space for the Chargers, while Herbert reunites with Keenan Allen and Gerald Everette in Chicago, Harbaugh & Hortiz have just let the league know that the Chargers belong to them now, that the new Chargers brand in history starts now, and how better than to start with a cheap rookie QB whos gunna have a great running game and O-line under Harbaugh, and a defense already boasting Derwin, Bosa(comeback season), and khali freakin Mack
