Yeah, that’s definitely the weakest area of his game (along with contested catches a bit) but there is room to improve there, and even in a worst case scenario where he doesn’t get much better, he’s so good elsewhere that it won’t be a huge deal.
dynamite vid, subscribed. I drafted Ladd late in one of my leagues because I was several drinks in and thought his name was funny. Looks like I might have a future keeper at least.
Hell yea, let's keep the hype train movin'! ⚡ I think his slot usage will go up with us, just given the strengths/weaknesses of our other WRs, but it wouldn't be insane to see him rotate there with Palmer, either (who was okay filling in for Keenan in the past). Also, fwiw, I think a better draft outcome comparison would have been vs Nabers + a top C prospect, given our interior OL was the big weakness (RT was actually the 2nd best spot... distant 2nd, granted, and he hasn't gotten rave reviews moving to RG, so far 😕).
That is totally fair regarding the iOL. Kinda insane that they didn’t address the position at all in the draft (or OL in general after Alt), especially considering they had so many picks.
I'm a chargers fan, but he's still mostly a z/slot receiver at the next level. He's got a little more juice than than the classic "white slot receiver" but that also cause he's very frail right now and probably needs to add weight to stay on the field at the next level. He doesn't come down with many contested catches and his measurements (stride/arm radius) are short af so I don't see him as a pure speed threat down the sidelines or someone who's gonna make those highlight grabs (josh downs/tyler lockett). He's gonna obviously make plays down the field off of his other routes and double moves (kinda like zay flowers). Welker and company have 1200 yrd plus season and were nigh unguardable 1 on 1 so there's really nothing wrong with that. He can eventually be a qb's best friend and that's all that matters. His biggest challenge will be staying on the field imo. If he figures that out he's gonna be a dude.
He'll be a great pro if he stays healthy... he has great footwork of all the route tree and has soft hands... nice pick... I was hoping my Seahawks grabbed him but we're loaded already... Doug Baldwin and Lockett didnt have that 5th gear... SMH Dont sell this guy short with a Franchise QB he'll be a much better player in the Pros than he was at Georgia
The Chargers are in for a though year. They unloaded a lot of talent and drafted a couple of potential stars. Over all they are less talented than last year. So be patient fans This make over will take a few seasons.
You’ll be surprised this year. The defense is going to be at very least top 7. I’ve seen enough in the pre season to know that minter is an amazing coach that teaches skills to a great level even to the fourth stringers. The o line is much better. Mike and Keenan are very talented but didn’t play all too often Herbert’s best year he barely saw the two of them. QJ also looks improved but time will tell. I expect 10 wins year one under harbaugh wouldn’t be surprised if it goes down to 9 or up to 11.
Great vid bro
Preciate you
First thing I thought of was how good is his strength and routes vs press coverage. He's definitely a player to watch early on

Video on a Chargers player with Final fantasy music and Kingdom hearts sound effects. This video was made specifically for me lmao.
Man of culture 🙏🏻

Lol sometimes that’s how you find your gems!
I like to call myself a chef, but Ladd the McConqueror really cooks people.
That comparison to Garrett Wilson excites me
I would’ve never guessed their measurables were almost identical.
“I’ll know when you watch the video” *me in my old Wendy’s uniform less than 2 minutes in 😂😂😂😂
Best part of the vid tbh
He'll be their leading WR if he stays healthy you can book it now
I agree, but can I ask about the backstory behind your name on here? Lol

Nice jenova final fantasy music. This kids jersey is going to be #1
Don’t tell anyone, but the few of you who point out the music in these videos are my favorite commenters.
@@MikeKennedyNFLnice cosmo canyon track too. I’m a huge ff fan
Man of culture. Cosmo Canyon easily one of the best tracks in video game history.

Sounds about right. He’s lucky he has a good QB. He should be fine.
Not because he’s white but do you think he can be a Kupp-like player? He seems to run good routes and turns up field quickly when he catches the ball.
As a Chiefs fan, I don’t want this to be true🤣
Completely valid 🤣 For what it’s worth, I am big on Worthy too lol

What’s his ceiling top 20 WR?
No telling tbh
McConkey Bowers BTJ as my top rookies for 2024. Harrison Jr & Nabers high upside shit Q.Bs

Though year ? They will be on another level then they were. Watch and learn
Xavier Legette better unfortunately (great vid Mike)
I would have expected nothing less from you (can’t wait for your upcoming return too)
Ja’Lynn Polk better
