The Raiders fandom is saying the same thing we said for years " great start to the draft , but what happened late " !!! Great draft JH , and JH , to help JH throw many TDs !!!!!!!!
Facts raiders first 3 picks will be studs, not sure about the rest, regardless our draft was a masterclass.
SO GLAD TELESCO IS GONE !!!
They actually didn't have a bad late rd draft imo. I like their 4-6 picks. I def like our draft better cuz it didn't seem that other than the Still pick there were any reaches which is music to my ears. TT loved to reach my oh my did he love to reach lol
Raider fans arent exactly smart. Rice in the 7th was the steal of the draft. I can see him beating out Johnston to start opposite Palmer. Vidal was an awesome pick up. He could actually be an RB1 if something happens to Edwards and Dobbins. Hes a threat receiving too. Cornelius Johnson will be interesting. He already knows the offense over any of the current WRs on the roster, so thats a big plus. Had some incredible value late.
Who was that 3rd round pick Glaze they picked heard he was a 7th round prospect Locked on Chargers made fun of it that's what Telesco did with our Bolts screw up in middle rounds
Michigan fan here and Harbaugh is the king. Colson is a game changer and Cornelius Johnson is way underrated. Go Blue 〽️
Eboigbe doesn't need to pass rush .... we've got the two Edges to do that, he'll stop the run.
This is so true. Mack, Bosa, Tuli and Fox can handle the pass rushing. After the last 3 years of watching this team get ran all over I’m perfectly fine having a DT that is “just a run stopper”
So I won't hundred percent disagreement, we're gonna have NASCAR Package...
Big man to stuff up holes up the middle I agree
JH saying Alt is a weapon is awesome. Our line is going to maul D lines!!
We got something for those “proud” Raidturds. Be happy with your 63 against awful coach and second string offense, awful defense.
Hope so
Did everyone see the undrafted free agent pick ups???👀😤💪🏼⚡️⚡️⚡️
Highlights 6’8” 350 pound Tackle from Campbell and Safety from FSU‼️⛽️
Casey Bauman! 4160 yrds, 43 touchdowns in only 21 games!? Sounds like a solid backup to JH
Sure did! Alot of competition coming in
The huge ginger guy from Appalachian state looks pretty good to. I'd like to hear more about all of them
@@albyd7789And at 6’-7” can really see the field!
Pipkins is Put On Notice! Harbaugh said that They are going to Play Their Best 5 Guys. But, Slater is THE LEFT TACKLE. The, OTHER 4 Spots Are Open For Competition. ❤👍
The trenches will be amazing to watch this season 🦍😤 LFG⚡️⚡️⚡️ Joe and Jim cooked this draft.🥺
I thought we would get another OL. Totally stoked when we got Jerry Rice’s son Brenden from SC!!!! #LFGSDLA⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
The last time I saw a Chargers Linebacker Named Junior... Oh! the memories!
Rest in peace, Junior Seau 🙏
#55 Forever Junioorrrrrr SEAU (SayOoww)!!!! RIP USO🙏🏽⚡️⚡️ He was the reason I became a BOLT FAN⚡️⚡️BOLT UP!!💪🏽💪🏽⚡️⚡️
@@boteusorr182same for me too
❤
I immediately thought the same brother ⚡️🤙🏽⚡️ RIP Seau
Eboigbe & Tarheeb were hardly talked about and ranked below DTs & CBs that were available at 105 & 137. But both played against Michigan and performed well. If they ball out next season, it will show me that Hortiz is the man and that this new FO can take us to the promised land.
I'M BOLTING UP SO HARD ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
😂😂😂
I’m so bolted up rn fr fr ⚡️
We all are!!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Me too
Pause
Great draft no doubt.
Rice is gonna turn out like St. Brown
Those are some big shoes to fill.
That’s high praise too much pressure
He puts me in the mind of a Nelson Agholor just more violent (in a good way)
@@dayonedad Stop it
he is not the best route runner he is raw so give him time
@@d_rod3 mannnnn look that’s the problem with this fan base now. Give rookies HOF player comps before they even hit the field then if they have a bad year (QJ) it’s ohhhh trade him he’s a bust
No Patience just let these dudes learn the game and develop
Had a blast hanging out with you all weekend, you are the Man Director! STILLBOLTEDUPINOREGON!!!
I missed a bunch of the draft by going to Oregon’s Spring Game. Worth it! Spent the evening reviewing all the action. Stoked!
My favorite Charger lineman of all time was Walt Sweeney. Nobody messed with Walt Sweeney. I hope any of the new Charger linemen have that Walt Sweeney characteristic.
Great Choice. I, liked Russ Washington and Don Macek.
JOE HALT
MADD LADD
Every time Mcconkey catches a pass I’m gonna hear yer Ladd Mcconkey!!! scream- luv it! BTFU⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Bolt up bro thank you for a great weekend
Another awesome thing about Cornelius Johnson is he is a fantastic run blocker. Blocking is such an underrated part of a receiver's game. The Chargers are becoming so well-rounded. Can't wait for training camp/preseason to see some of these guys in action!!!⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
Who’s going??!! MEEEEE!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
@@turtle19dad THAT'S SICK MAN!!! I'm so jealous...
Yes definitely, only thing that concerns me is the hand size for both Ladd and Johnson. But the blocking is an absolute necessity. 👊🏻
@@tupapa7230 I agree, but I have the feeling they'll be studs. Maybe not top 5, but our group is very well rounded. I'm so hyped to see the run game and RPO!
I appreciate the fact that Ladd showed OUT against the elite teams. He's a tough, fast, scrappy and strong WR with awesome catching hands. He can go up and get that ball and pull it in for completions against great defenses. Super happy with the LADD pick and the other YoungGunz for sure!!💯 WOW! ⚡️⚡️💪🏽💪🏽⚡️⚡️BOLT UP⚡️⚡️
Droppin' back in from Philly ! What an amazing job you did! The Director handlin' the business! Dude, the underdog ad looks like a Goodfellas promo!!😂😂 Keep the squad BOLTED UP!⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Director...something for forgot to mention about Johnson( I'm a Michigan fan) is he is also one of...if not the best...run blocking WRs in the Draft. Also...his lack of production is because Roman Wilson and Copeland Loveland (TE) we the top 2 receiving threats in the passing game
Love this draft! Took a minute to get over nabers, but in hindsight, going w ctr+alt+del, makes so much sense. Scratch my head a little bit at the Eboigbe (lol) pick, but Harb knows more than I do...super stoked about hitman hart pickup. Super excited for myself, and fellow bolt fans, to see how it all unfolds.
Joe Alt gonna put a stop to Crosby comin' in free reign from the right....
I’m a LSU fan Eboigbe is a dog, just look at a Morgan Fox that’s the type of guy I see him as. He just needs a little development but his ceiling is high if you ask me.
The age of 3rd and Keenan is over. The time of 3rd and McConkey has come. BoltUp! ⚡️
I think I’ll be a closet Bears fan though. I want nothing but success for Slayer.
@@turtle19dad Same. I'll always root for Slayer! (Unless he goes to another AFC West team 🤷♂️)
3rd and Ladd!!! Chargers...FIRST DOOOOooooowwwnnn!
Can't wait for the Preseason and the FINAL 53 MAN ROSTER!👍 🤔 Then, WE Can get Hyped.. We, haven't seen The Finished Product YET! 🤔 Let's, Hope That The Defense is Above Average and in the Top 11. Can't wait to see Who GETS CUT/RELEASED. I, Hope Casey Bauman Makes the 53. Good Bye :Duggan or Stick. ❤
@@chrisb3892It, Will be a Shame if He Gets injured. Not, wishing him Bad. I'm just saying....
Thank you for putting in 8 hours of energy and excitement.
The best Chargers draft was in 1975 but this draft class is up there.
Who in the hell was drafted in 75?
Until the session starts that remains to be seen.
04 was beast with Rivers, Kaeding, Hardwick, & Phillips
In the 1975 draft the Chargers had two number one picks and two number two picks. Gary Big Hands Johnson DT, Mike Williams CB both in the first round. Louie Kelcher DT and Fred Dean DE in the second round. Mike Fuller S in the third round . Billy Shields OT in the sixth round and Ricky Young RB in the seventh round. Ralph Piretta C in the 8th round. All of this listed players became starters and this was the most talented team they ever had. The offensive staters were Fouts, Muncie, Winslow, White, Chandler etc.
1975? I'll have to look into that
McConkey was my fav in the draft, too.
After we got Altzilla it was pretty clear we werent getting a blue chip wide out or a TE.
This squad is going to be so ffffff ing good!!
14-3 and winning the Conf.
Feels pretty good, don't it?
Fans were mad Harbaugh took an elite Tackle prospect who just turned 21 and is an athletic freak at 6'9" 😂😂😂😂 #Trenches win Titles
Not really...KC won with a very average OL
@@mikegeee3319your nuts if you think KC had an average oline..
@@dontnonowuno9953 their guard and RT were terrible. They weren't good at all, look it up
@@mikegeee3319 I don't need to look it up..I watched them dominate Baltimore, San Francisco, Buffalo,and Philly the year before .All had top three front sevens and got their lunches handed to them by KC..Don't want to argue,but stats are subjective to a lot of variables when it comes to o- line
Ok go cheer for kc or get positive
Solid A especially when you add the fact his ND DB coach is now the DB coach for the Chargers
Hey director. So pumped about this draft and that you get to be my mic this summer. I'm taking a vow of silence during games and in the weeks between them this year. I've been loud and hyped before, and it's hurt me. I know this year will rock, but it's my little superstition. Imma have to start training myself to be stoic for bolts highlights
Thanks director for the content and all the work you’ve done covering the draft. Enjoyed it.
justin eboigbe looks alot like Chris Jones - i think hes gonna be a beast
i agree he is definitely a beast . Nobody is talking about him but if you watch the reactions of Hortiz and Harbaugh on the draft war room call to Justin , they seem a little EXTRA excited when they called him compared to all the others. Just a little bit more excited . They know they got a steal and a real beast for their 4th overrall pick
Pray for Brenden Rice. His weekend was rough
Hopefully he’s got a chip on his shoulder now. We’ll see what Harbaugh can bring out of him
He bailed Caleb W a lot in SC when he needed to throw the ball to someone after scrambling he will do the same for Herbert such a great pick up
Yeah he lost a best friend. He was at the funeral when the Chargers called.
@@turtle19dad damn that is rough. I was curious why they didn’t show his phone call. Prayers up for his loss
@@jacobimacbroom He wasn’t home that’s why, but chargers later shared his enthusiasm when he called his parents so that’s something
Let’s Call him Extra Mile lmao like the gas station ⚡️
I think Vidal was a sneaking steal. Didn’t know the kid before watching his tape, but DAMN!
He was my sleeper pick. Saw him at the senior bowl workout. He's going to be great for us
How great was it to see daytime Wheel of Fortune host and Chargers FG Dolphins OT battle legend Rolf Beinershke lol! Introduce the Junior Colson pick!
That was AWESOME!!!! Rolf still looks good. And he still runs around SD.
The Marvin Harrison Jr VS Brenden Rice narrative could be interesting if Brenden ends up being great. MHJ being drafted early in the first and BR being drafted in the 7th, both being sons of NFL legends.
Excellent draft to start the Joe Hortiz and Harbaugh era. Never doubted them for a second. ⚡️💪
Great draft! One of the best Chargers drafts of all time. Got some incredible value late in Vidal and Rice!
Director one thing to take away from us taking Brendan Rice is his father is gonna be all over training camp! Giving his insight to our WR room. What better than getting advice from one of the goats at the position!
Great content my guy ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Hey Bolt fam!
Can I ask for more content of Coach Ben Herbert and his work behind the scenes? I am ⚡️electrified⚡️ by this guy and his presence on the team. The injuries stop with preparedness, and he is ready to make these men prepared!
Brenden Rice was at a friend's funeral and gave a eulogy during his draft, and still took the call. Dude had a horrible day on what is also supposed to be the greatest day of his life. Due to his personal situation, I think that's why he fell ...
Director!!! Great hangin with you all weekend. day 3 hairdue said it all.
Thanks for the information on the new Chargers players! I needed it! Very good video!
I predicted this draft on the last mock video and alot of fans said I didn't know what I was talking about. I haven't seen them in the comments lately, but dmn I feel good about this draft. Coming from a Ohio State fan, Harbaugh just may be on to something. ⚡️⚡️
Eboigbe was brought in to plug that middle up and he was destroying double teams.....Bosa will help him with hand movement, swipes, getting around the edge!
Beautiful
We got A BIG BEE 🐝
Resident ND fan here … Cam Hart is a freaking steal
Yessssss
Wow I did NOT expect this draft to be good but man sucks that we didn’t get Malik nabers at least we Joe alt and recivers that can actually CATCH hopefully this season goes good 👍
My favorite pick is obviously mcconkey! We got him on a great pick and i love his route running just like keenan, i believe hes gonna be herberts go to guy and hopefully he will be great with his release just like keenan
Chiefs have won two super bowls now with super market employees at wide receiver
But a really good o line
But also allowed that because they have one of the best TE of all time
@@XXLepicfr. Kelce was average during the regular season. But Somehow he magically turned elite in the playoffs
😂 were just gonna overlook the number two defense in the league? Look at their scores last year .Looked like N.E. in their day
This has me as excited as the 2004 Chargers Draft 🔥⚡️
Had no idea who Eboigbe and tarheed were either but coach was super jazzed about these guys. Love this draft. Nothing i was swearing about etc. That's definitely a first
Ladd McConkey’s nickname definitely gotta be Lightning McQueen 👀 (Lightning McConkey, Ladd McQueen)
WTF
They already gave him Lambo Ladd
@albyd7789 he had a few in college. Outside of tje obvious "Ladd"
But there was Ladd the Impaler
White Lightening
Cookie (given to him by Auburns safety Simpson because all Ladd does is "cook it")
And Conk
With drafting three receivers we may now can spend our money on a different position instead of a receiver in free agency. Money well saved can now be used for another cornerback or a position that may be needed down the road.
Sooo pumped on this draft! Especially Alt at 5!!!
I dont think there's any way NE thought Ladd would be taken.
Agreed!
Finally, been calling for Chargers to get O-linemen for 25 years and it just never happened. So happy to see round 1 an O-linemen :)
Great grade! ⚡
I wanna see a superbowl run ❤❤❤
The picked “still” over “hart” at Corner just shows who they like a lil more🤣
Twaz an amazing DRAFT WEEK, and yes very much DIRECTOR you are a great of proficient source for information and trusting content...GOD BLESS BROTHER, LET'S GO BOLT NATION
Alt was a tight end 2.5 years ago and made a smooth transition to tackle so I’m not seeing moving from left to right being a problem for him.
Pretty damn good combination between Alt and McConkey! Follow that up with Junior Colson and the others, we had a friggin' good bunch of selections.
Joe Alt switched from Tight End to Offensive Tackle so I don't think that this guy will have any problem switching sides on the line. Besides, Alt comes from Notre Dame. They don't grow dummies at that University!
BTW: Combine our present Quinton Johnson with the drafted WR Cornelius Johnson plus two UDFA Wideouts who are also named Johnson!. The Receivers' Room of the Bolts will have four guys named Johnson... If we keep them all - we could rename it the JOHNSON ROOM!
Hugo and Tara! I give as much credit as my man Director! Love you fam!
Can’t wait till preseason really excited to see how these picks perform
Can not wait for the 2024 season director hype video after this draft. Certified banger already.
Finally! GM not afraid to make tough decisions and not letting outsiders dictate the narrative for the team. 👏 stick to your plan
Please make a video on the I undrafted players we sigh 🙏🏻
God tier draft - ALSO DAY 3 went crazy LETS GOOO
Day 3 was outta control!😂😂😂
😂😂 white chocolate is wild Director.
i mean eboigbe had 7 sacks last season for a dt i feel like thats not bad
For a dt that’s good
Think he was First Team All SEC as well
Herbert finally got protection and weapons LFG 💯⚡️ BTFU
💪🏽
If I have one tiny gripe, it was not drafting Boise St RB George Holani at 253, or making him a priority free agent. If the Bolts plan on running the ball down your throat, go check out this dude's highlights. He is a flat out baller, never quits, incredibly hard to bring down. Dobbins might not be fully recovered. The Chargers were at his Pro Day...he put up great testing numbers as well.
The director loves the Tackle Patrick Paul
BOLT UP⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
I'm in my 70s and Ladd reminds of when I was a kid in San Diego back in the 60s and the Chargers had a wr named ahhh, .....All something or other....Worth??, was it??...Yea ,..Lance Alworth..Seemed pretty good when I was 10................
Something about SD and number 19…. Always turned out great. #Bambi #MrPadre
BTW:...Ladd is listed at 6'0 185 and Alworth was 6'0 184..................The Chargers had a Ladd back then; Big Bad Ernie Ladd, 6'9 300+lbs..You might wonder how anyone blocked him when the average NFL lineman was 250 to 280 lbs...Answer is , They didn't...And I'd sit up in the cheap seats 15 rows up in the end zone at Balboa Stadium screaming my head off every time every Big Bad Ernie drove two blockers back into the QB or Bambi caught a bomb from Johnny Hadl........Funny, I can't remember what happened day before yesterday, but I remember the names; Gary Garrison, Willie Frazier, Ron Mix, Paul Lowe, Keith Lincoln, Walt Sweeney, Kenny Graham, Dickie Post, Rick Redman, Ernie Wright and Speeeeedy Duncan...Kick Returner supreme....Why don't they have names like that anymore.......Believe it or not, I now live up in Eugene Or....Hey it rains alot but the fishing's great....The House where Herbi grew up is about a quarter mile away...I watched him at Sheldon HS and U/O and just had a feeling he was going places.........And now with Harbaugh and an OL that can actually protect him?.....It's gonna be fun............
God bless you Paul !
Ladd is a Bad man... Love it. Definitely the best route runner in the draft. Great pick
Berries and cream, berries and cream. I’m a little Ladd who loves berries and cream 😂
I'm so stoked for the Rice pick. He's gonna come in hungry with a massive chip on his shoulder and Sanjay Lal will be so great for his development. Lal worked with DK in Seattle and I think Rice can really learn how to use his size to bully corners just like DK did.
There is something very special about having a physical, dominant O-Line. How many games have we lost because we couldn’t extend drives at the end of the games? If we have a good running game, we can impose our will on the other team and get the 3 or 4 first we downs we need to run out the clock!!
I didn’t understand just how important it is to have a dominant O-Line, and with Alt, we will have a man that can consistently provide blocking for our running backs, and when we decide to pass the ball, play action will be very effective.
No longer will we need to ask Herbert to pass 35-40 times a game, and he can be very effective when he does pass just because we can run the ball. Couldn’t be more excited!
I was super pumped with the Joe Alt pick, and to me there was zero chance they were going to pick anyone but Joe Alt at # 5. The thought they would take a WR was never a possibility…it’s not in Harbaugh’s DNA to have gone that route.
Lighting Mcconkey⚡️
I was thinking about when you said that if we traded with MN we would have been more than excited to get Fuaga and McConkey..... THe major problem with that is that we still would have had a 2nd rounder to grab a stud DT, OC, WR, CB, etc.
You are a Grade A Chargers Dude!!!! - we want the next Chuck Muncie - cmon man
You also forgot the "OHHHHHHHH!!!" reaction when we got Rice.
I didn’t forget. I believe that was my exact reaction!!!!
Director can you talk about the Chargers 21 undrafted free agents they pick up. Do a little back round on them.
I loved this draft. Whew, im so glad Telesco is gone and I can see his shenanigans are starting with the Raiders. Truthfully, I was hoping for Marshawn Lloyd too.
Me too. Was pissed when GB took him.
Director, you and Joe Alt look alike talk about separated at birth lol 😂
Joe Alt reminds me of the Eric Fischer pick by KC at #1 overall 10+ years ago. Not a "sexy pick" compared to a receiver, but damn that is a cornerstone for that OLine for the next 5+ years
Laddy lightning ⚡️ 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey Director the Bolts did well this Draft
I Believe that Brenden rice is the Steal of the Draft Chargers Selects 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉225 of the 7th round of Brenden rice
Great pick football has and always will be won on the line of scrimmage
You deserve the hype king!
Director! Director! My reaction 💯…Glad we got LADD!!!
Now. It'll be, how long til these guys can take in the coaches plans...
I think we're pretty set, on a complete team now.... after they run through all of these undrafted players...
