2023 Official Charger Draft - Post Draft Discussion (Daily Links In OP)

[powderblueboy]

Lots of teams passed on Mahomes and nobody had him pencilled in to be this good.

I called him a franchise qb in the other draft forum.

No, i didn't expect him to be this good.

Nice pick by the Chiefs

Justin Herbert

Herbert was mentioned in the quoted post - so to that point, my point still stands.

I thought things broke perfectly for us at 21…until the pick. I’m sure QJ is a great kid and hope he’ll be a great player. Just thought there were better options available. Feels like TT has a “type” and doesn’t really think outside the box.

Yes. was a perfect time to trade down.

Chief's needed an edge player.
A bit of a Chaincrusher reach here.

Personally, I thought there were better edge players available.

Fair enough, if the point is disregard all of Telesco good picks and give him all the blame for the bad then your point most definitely stands.

If you mean lots of team as in 9 teams then I guess it is a lot. He was picked 10th overall. People were wary of the system he was playing in and how it would translate. Goes to show you it’s at the eyes of the beholder. Some say it won’t translate well but some might say that arm is a well oiled machine. He had attempt obscene amount of passes, if I remember correctly he threw 88 times against Oklahoma and routinely throwing 50+ time a game. His tapes are abundant since he threw so many times and he has so many variety. They let he loose and free to take chances. He had a good learning experience at Texas tech.

Also some say, Jalen Hurts is not going to be this good, too.

He came from a family of athletes, his dad was a Major League Baseball player for many years. The game wasn’t too big for him, he is familiar with the idea of being around professional sports.

It wasn’t a secret that the chiefs had targeted Mahomes and afraid the chargers might take him.

Damn…Eagles know what they’re doing.

I wonder what that's like? The Off-Season To Forget just got more forgettable, based on most of the comments about Johnston. Telesco and Co. simply do not know how to work a Draft. We've just fallen further behind. Oh well, at least it will be the last Draft that we'll have to suffer through with Telesco at the helm.

Absolutely. Look at what any/all of that "success" has rewarded us with.

[Lefty2SLO]

Nice . . . . . .

[Topcat]

Johnston is a high character team first guy.


I liked him most of all the receivers: including the Ohio State guy.

Highest ceiling.

Those are Telesco traits.

Thank God it wasn't Mayer.

Wonder why Mayer dropped all the way out of round 1...sure hope TT doesn't pull a TT special and give up a 3rd or 4th rounder to move up for the Golden Domer...

Funny watching the Los Angeles ABC news feed coming to us “live” from the L.A. Rams draft lab. They don’t even have a pick in the round and the news coverage can’t even mention the Chargers. This team belongs back in San Diego and everybody knows it!!!!
