fans who've dealt with a more typical bad GM experience thinking that someone who's sat through the Al Davis twilight years and the Mayock/Gruden run are gonna be fazed by only the low end of the draft sucking is a funny one outside of the brief blip of Reggie McKenzie, I don't even know what it's like for your team to understand what the first round of the draft is

The medical stuff brings up a good question since I honestly don't know. I assume that medical staff is controlled by ownership but is it actually a GM thing? I always thought that the Chargers medical failures were just a result of ownership being cheap and/or stupid.

Maybe mediocrity is a step up, but when every year it feels like the Raiders are a dark horse to make the playoffs and always fall far short of their potential, it's a ride that you'll be happy to get off of once it's reached its final obvious conclusion. The only real difference between Telesco on the Chargers and Telesco on the Raiders is that he didn't get to choose his own head coach this time. If that makes all the difference, congrats, have hope. But as of right now, Telesco remains a fraud until proven otherwise.

no one's ever happy to be mired in mediocrity it's just comical to act like being a perpetual mediocre dark horse is the nadir of football fandom, particularly in relation to one of the absolute biggest tire fire franchises of this century I can't imagine a Chargers fan even considering swapping the Telesco era for what the Raiders were doing in the same time frame, especially if that included the Chargers current post-Telesco era where they could easily bounce into success with no real hiccups (possible franchise curses not withstanding) The337th fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Apr 28, 2024 |

Telesco has missed on a good share of early picks. The Raiders absolutely should have gone all in on Penix and moved up in this draft and rode that magical ride until his body exploded. 3 DONG HORSE posted:Love the absolute hype around Worthy, drafted by the Chiefs who are known for their quality WRs Either he will be a bust or somehow in trouble with the law.

Honestly I think every AFC West team drafted pretty well. Nobody had a perfect draft, there were some dart throws, but they all hit positions of need for the most part even if the value was questionable at times. So I'm giving everyone a B+ and everyone passes the class!!!!!!

More concerned at RB where if Pacheco needs a breath, MEH is taking the field.

I think the Chargers draft was pretty good. I wanted Nabers, but getting the best OL prospect since Sewell is a nice consolation. We've also had good results with middle linebackers named Junior

Since 2004 the Raiders have drafted exactly 4 elite players in the first 3 rounds of the draft (Jacobs, Mack, Cooper and Miller) and you can even throw in Carr if you're feeling generous enough to include him based on 2016 and the importance of the position which would make 5. Extending it out to all 7 rounds only adds 1 more player in Maxx Crosby. 5 (or 6) elite players chosen in almost 20 years of the NFL draft out of 145 (!!!) selections is absolutely abysmal and anyone presented with this should understand why most of us are okay with Telesco usually nailing the top picks but making GBS threads himself the rest of the draft. Can't believe I wrote that all out, it's like reliving the nightmare. Time to drink beer, eat some BBQ and pass out from mental exhaustion.

I’m really curious if Chiefs are signing a vet tackle or going let the young guys battle it out. I really like the Chiefs TE and DB picks. Keep taking shots at a Kelce replacement and letting Spags develop guys over a couple years. I want see stack formations with Worthy/Brown.

I could see them bringing back Smith or maybe going for Bakhtiari unless they really think Morris made a big leap. Kingley shouldn't see the field at all this year.

So this is what Kadarius Toney looks like spread out over 15 years. Yeah, Telesco's a step up from all this, and that might be the most damning thing about this whole situation.

Been seeing a lot of clips on FB reels since I act like a boomer and am not on the Tiktok. Words can't even begin to describe how wild the last decade as a Chiefs fan was. From the puff puff pass rush, Tyreek Hill somehow teleporting through the entire Cowboys Defense right before half-time, MNF vs Rams, 4th down vs Baltimore, ending Luck's career, 13 Seconds, vs the Bangos, this entire last playoff run and every Super Bowl win. Absolutely incredible. Especially knowing there are still years to go with a possibility of 3 in a row.

Chargers / Chiefs battles are about to get a lot more competitive in my opinion. Harbaugh just took my second favorite player in the draft even though he doesn't need him. I was simultaneously annoyed, relieved and...worried. They are going to protect Herbert and run all over teams. It's going to make Herbert more effective when he does pass, it's going to slow games down to make every possession more valuable. I mean, I think they should have drafted Nabers but taking Alt and turning him into one of the best right tackles immediately is weird on value but it also makes the Chargers tough to beat I admit. While I'd be pissed if I was Alt, I have to say I wouldn't be pissed if I'm a Chargers fan. Let's see if they can keep up with the scoring, but still

I very much love the AFC west right now. Even when teams are dogshit (broncos, raiders, chargers) it’s a fight. Just loving this specific part of my sports life because I get to experience a chiefs dynasty and I genuinely hope that my chargers friends get the same when we are done.
