Finally under that one week mark before the 2019

Here we are. NFL Draft.Here�s to hoping that nothing stands in your way this week that will cause it to drag on and on.L..."HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOY!Here we are. Finally under that one week mark before the 2019 NFL Draft.Here�s to hoping that nothing stands in your way this week that will cause it to drag on and on.Let�s wake up everyday Trevor Williams Jerseys 2019 , get that bread, and let time just tick away before one of the most exciting weekends of the calendar year.Just like the last two posts, here are four more players that I believe the Chargers should take a serious look at once the first four rounds have come and gone.OT Dennis Daley - South CarolinaDaley is one of the more interesting offensive linemen in this draft due to the fact I�ve seen his draft stock get talked up into day two while also seeing him firmly in many pundits� day three selections.His evaluations are all over the place. But one thing that everyone can get behind when it comes to Daley is that he certainly looks the part and has the experience playing against some of the top talent while in the SEC.The former JUCO All-American is a good looking 324 pounds on a 6-foot-6 frame. He is still a slight work-in-progress as he only spent two seasons playing ball in South Carolina. Out of high-school, Daley attended the Georgia Military Academy for a pair of seasons where he was name the 18th-best overall junior college prospect and the 3rd-best offensive tackle in the country by ESPN.The good thing to note is that he was noticeably better at the end of the season than he was to start it, which shows he can put in the work. Although some say he gave up far too many sacks, Daley was still invited to the Senior Bowl following the season. Another good sign when it comes to potential Chargers targets. If he falls this far, the team could do a lot worse if they�re still fishing for OL depth.WR Damarkus Lodge - Ole MissOne of the bigger household names among wide receivers that will likely find himself falling due to being overshadowed by two of the top wide receivers in this class that happened to play with him on the same offense.Lodge has been a consistent player and producer with the Rebels since he played sparingly as a true freshmen in 2015. In his sophomore campaign, Lodge received his first and only start of the season, contributing 15 catches for 203 yards and a pair of touchdowns. THe very next season, Lodge took things up a notch by hauling in 41 passes, passing the 700-yard receiving mark, and tying for second on the team with seven touchdown grabs.When teammate and future first-round pick D.K. Metcalf was lost for most of the 2018 season White Desmond King Jerseys , Lodge saw his responsibility and workload sore. While trying to keep the offense as explosive as ever, Lodge finished the year with 65 catches for 877 and just four touchdowns. His averages of 79.7 receiving yards and 5.9 catches per game were both good for 3rd in the SEC.At 6-foot-2 and 202 pounds, Lodge possesses adequate size for the position. His film looks like he can really run as he is constantly beating defenders up the sideline and running around them, but his 4.55 forty suggest that may not be the case at the next level.Lodge will likely be a more nuanced route-runner than most in this class as that�s where he will need to succeed in the NFL. And honestly, who�s better to learn that art form from than the Keenan Allen? I think he knows a thing or two about getting open.DT Greg Gaines - WashingtonI got put onto Gaines well over a year ago when he was still playing next to Vita Vea in that amazing Husky defensive line from 2017. I was watching their game against Stanford and it just looked like such a rough day for RB Bryce Love and that offensive line. At one point, Gaines and Vea were pretty much meeting at the QB at the same time over and over again.I knew this kid was definitely going to be worth keeping an eye on if he returned to school.With the departure of Vea to the NFL, Gaines was stuck with a little more attention than he would have liked. However, that didn�t stop him from setting career-highs in total tackles, sacks, and even collecting his first career interception.The strength and motor that Gaines possesses is definitely what you want in you defensive linemen. His mark of 30 reps on the bench press was one of the top performances of the combine and the film is littered with reps of him refusing to go backwards. But sometimes that motor is what gets him in trouble. Too often, offensive linemen will understand he wants to penetrate as fast possible and will therefore gameplan around his aggressiveness, letting him take himself out of the play.He�s more than worth a day three flier to me Desmond King Jerseys 2019 , but will likely find himself always stuck in a rotational role.LB Ben Burr-Kirven - WashingtonBurr-Kirven is a name that I didn�t hear until it was very late into the draft season. The craziest part is, how did I not hear about a guy who totaled 176 tackles in a single season? That�s just unheard of to me. He was sure to stuff the stat sheet in other areas as well, collecting 5.5 tackles-for-loss, two sacks, two interceptions, six passes defended, four forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries in his final season at Washington.Burr-Kirven, or BBK, as most call him, is on the small side for a middle linebacker at 6-foot-0 and 230 pounds. It�s his size that plays into his wheelhouse, though White Adrian Phillips Jerseys , as he displays some excellent closing speed on the field.At the combine, BBK was able to back up the speed he plays with by posting a 4.56 forty-yard dash, a 6.85 3-cone, and a 4.09 short shuttle. Those last two are especially nice to see in a guy that likes to play sideline to sideline.And this is just a shot in the dark, but the Chargers don�t usually mind taking guys that are on the smaller side at the linebacker position.The Bolts� backfield continues to be �pick your poison.� We are four games into the 2018 season and there some real themes to this team that are starting to develop.The most prominent theme up to this point has obviously got to be the interchangeable productivity of the team�s backfield duo of Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler. At this moment, the Chargers are currently one of four teams with two running backs receiving a grade above 70.0. If you include Derek Watt, the team sports a trio of backs receiving above-average grades (60.0 = average).Its also great to see Ekeler still at the top of PFF�s rankings as he continues to be the highest-graded running back through the first four weeks of the season with a grade of 91.2 (90.0=elite).The stat sheets of both Gordon and Ekeler help paint a picture of complimentary football where both running backs always get their fill of yards and points.Here�s the breakdown of their stats up to this point:Gordon:Rushing - 54 carries, 276 yards, 5.1 per tote, 2 touchdownsReceiving- 24 catches, 199 yards, 8.3 per reception Adrian Phillips Jerseys 2019 , 3 touchdownsTotal yards from scrimmage per game - 118.8Ekeler:Rushing - 28 rushes, 188 yards, 6.7 per tote, 0 touchdownsReceiving - 13 catches, 163 yards, 12.5 per reception, 2 touchdownsTotal yards from scrimmage per game - 87.8According to Chargers reporter Chris Hayre, the Bolts� backfield is on course to do some historic things this season:To gas up the play of Ekeler even more, he currently sits as the most elusive back in the NFL according to PFF with a 131.7 rating in that category.Not to compare this team to last year�s Saints squad, but we all saw what that team was able to accomplish with a surprising defense and the pairing of Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram leading the offensive charge.Could something similar be in the cards for the Chargers? Only time will tell.(And maybe if Joey Bosa and Forrest Lamp can finally get on the field.)
