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

40 yd dash doesn't equate to football speed. But if you look at how he plays. He plays like he's a big body and he's not. Mike is almost 6 ft 5. This guy is closer to Keenan build wise. I'm not saying he isn't a good wr. I'm just saying he isn't a Mike will. He's got potential. But I would have rather traded down. Just my opinion tho.

Jerimiah and the boys say he plays faster than his 40 speed

My earlier comment about boring Telesco era Chargers football, is not necessarily a comment on the new WR. QJ could work out, especially with KA's ability waning.

Again we got the best WR in the draft. I think that is freaking amazing @ #21.

Totally saw that as well. Not a good look…

They may have missed the moment and they already had their rah rah session. You never know.

Dane Brugler’s analysis


A big man with small-man burst, Johnston accelerates well to stack, track and separate deep or create plays after the catch with his elusiveness, strength and instincts. His length and body control help him make impressive grabs away from his body, but he struggled with contested windows on tape and had more drops than touchdown catches in 2022. Overall, Johnston requires polish with his route-running and ball-finishing skills, but he offers legitimate big-play potential with his size-speed athleticism and catch radius. He has NFL-starting traits with upside as he continues to develop.


Sounds like he needs some work but he has two good veterans to learn from. Who better than to learn route running than Keenan Allen?

Unexpected but totally OK with the pick. We stalled many games last season because the Chargers ran out of receivers. Watching Bandy was the most painful as substitution. LOL!

'Best' according to whom?

Two things scare me about QJ:

(1) History of far too many drops.

(2) He doesn't possess the kind of stretch-the-field speed that has been missing on offense.

It's just difficult for me to believe that QJ is the player who helps the Chargers the most.

Pollards been there best RB for a while now. I think they will look to a mid round RB to pair with him.
But losing Shultz was huge.
