NFLN reporter based with Chargers said they are not in love with Tunsil or the DE prospects including Buckner and are looking at Ramsey hard.

Essentially said they think Tunsil is athletic but needs work and that they think they can get DL help in other rounds.

They are open to trades but no calls yet.

could be SD is trying to get a pick out of us

I think they definitely did their some diligence, but from what I understand, he did not do an official visit, and DB was covered in free agency, while D-line was not. Not to mention the beat writer for espn seems to think it's Buckner. Even if they are torn, if they think they can extort a pick from us, why not?

Ramsey has come out and said he's a CB. He will push, maybe even demand, an opportunity to play there. I don't know the man so I don't know if he'd take it to the point of distraction but it's an element a lot of people who want him at safety don't consider. Will he be allowed to play corner and if not will he become a malcontent?

The latest report is they need OL and DL but think Tunsil is finesse, they want a road grader for the run game and have a lot wrapped up in OT.

The think they can address DL in other rounds and want an impact player, with said interest in Ramsey, sorry.

This was reported today on NFLN who their reporter just met with the GM, do not be shocked if they indeed draft Ramsey.

Save the smoke screen theories too, they do not neec to provide any.

If so, I'll be more than fine with that. My preferred scenario is Baltimore wants Tunsil, Bosa or Buckner and we get a third from them and take Elliot at #6.

Sounds good, I honestly think the chargers are going to draft Ramsey, they want impact and feel they can fill in the roster in other rounds.

You have to remember, like us, they have premium picks in most rounds.

I want Zeke but could live with Ramsey.

I still think the interest in Ramsey is a smoke screen though, if they wanted Ramsey, they could just come out and say it. Are they worried that Philly will trade the #2 pick, no. The only benefit in keeping it secret is it gets the trade market swirling.

They basically told the reporter and said they want impact and all accounts point to Ramsey.

They said they are not in love with the tackles or DE's so do the math on impact.

They are open to a trade but the calls are not coming, yet.

So lets say we do take Ramsey. Does that mean we are out on Joseph if by some chance he is there at 34?

Absolutely...Brandon Carr, O. Scandrick, Mo Claiborne, JJ Wilcox, B. Church and Byron Jones are all entrenched in some capacity.

It's either/or (Joseph-Ramsey) not both. IMhumbleO

More and more mock drafts I am seeing have San Diego taking Buckner.

Well most mocks are just that but Jeffri Chadiha was at Chargers headquarters and said point blank he was told they want an impact player, not Tunsil and not the DE's.

They feel like they can get similar DE's later in the draft and draft at the top of the rounds.

He said they are looking at Ramsey, an impact player at #3.

Seems pretty legit to me.

I hope they do. I think we'd be better off investing in a second or third round corner or safety than a first

The media is hyping Stanley to the Chargers but Chidiha said that is not the case, we shall know soon!

I won't be surprised if the Chargers trade down. It will be telling how quickly they make their pick if this was just a big smoke screen. If they make their pick right away, they had their guy all along. If they milk every second of the clock, they are looking for someone to throw them a trade offer
