    Damn...this set up perfect for the Chargers to take Simmons and then put a trade together to move back into the late first to take Jordan Love.
    Simmons was a no brainer as either Ingram or Bosa will be leaving sooner than later.....Roll with Tyrod or sign Cam and let Love learn but now you have taken a guy that
    just isn't that guy to take you to the AFC West Title much less a Super Bowl.

    I guess it doesn't matter much because this is so Chargers....the only real pick that could have made Charger Fans really happy and over the top with excitement would have been if the Commish had said....." With the sixth pick in the 2020 NFL Draft the Los Angeles Chargers have TRADED the team and it will be moving back to San Diego without Dean Spanos and Family, Tom Telesco and Anthony Lynn involved"....new owners to be announced shortly.:cheers:

      ESPN Analysis:
      6. Los Angeles Chargers

      Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon | Highlights

      Why they picked him: The Chargers needed a quarterback after Philip Rivers departed in free agency after 16 seasons. After the Dolphins selected Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa with the No. 5 pick, it became almost certain the Chargers would take Herbert at No. 6. A proven winner at Oregon, Herbert has great arm strength and is agile outside of the pocket. From the 2018 to 2019 season, Herbert had the sixth-highest increase in completion percentage, jumping from 59 to 67%. He joins an offense that has established weapons in receivers Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, as well as tight end Hunter Henry.

      Biggest question: Can Herbert start as a rookie? Herbert struggled in his final four regular-season games at Oregon, throwing four interceptions. It's uncertain if he will be able to immediately adapt to the speed of the NFL, particularly when it comes to making fast decisions and getting rid of the football. The Chargers could start veteran Tyrod Taylor until Herbert is ready to take over. -- Lindsey Thiry

        Just curious, what jersey number will he pick?

          Josh Allen? Forget the Bills, the whole city of Buffalo almost moved to Toronto with that pick.

              Totally Stoked and completely understanding he's a rookie. No Sweat. Gotta balance out this Pissy fest! Given the negativity he's going to outplay your expectations!

                I really wish we had signed PR to 1 more year now. He would have learned so much from Phil. If we can develop him he has HUGE upside. Most glaring thing about him. Has a freaking cannon.

                  will be interesting to see who is left in the 2nd...OT OR LB?
                  Without a left tackle we’ll find out soon enough

                    No secret I wanted Simmons but oh well. Herbert is a Charger so I just hope he turns into Fouts/Rivers 2. GO BOLTS!!!!!

                      Wow you guys are really disappointing. You're automatically assuming he's going to fail. I hope every single one of you who thinks hes going to sucks loves crow.

                        Gees, he looks like Gomer Pyle in that photo. Could they not have come up with a better pic?

                          I heard the Chargers tried to move up to #4, but the Giants asked too much. Dolphins would have grabbed Thomas if the Giants were at #6.
