I wanted a WR at 5 too but the Chargers spent the bulk of the 2010's being plagued by injuries and well below average play at offensive tackle. Rashawn Slater, Joe Alt, and Trey Pipkins is a pretty damn good room to keep that problem from happening again. Gotta remember this is year 1 of a tear down as well.
@StevenIHaglund what’re the chances they could find a trade partner for pipkins and willing to take on some of the dead cap for us?
@StevenIHaglund you think they put Pipkins at Right Guard?
@StevenIHaglund This pick was awful. So many reasons why it was an awful pick. Terrible start by Horitz and Harbaugh
@StevenIHaglund In the last 10 season no WR picked in the top 5 has won a Super Bowl with the team that drafted them. The highest was Mike Evans (7th overall) with Tampa in 2020 & they had the GOAT, Tom Brady. WRs are window dressings. You win championships in the trenches. Fantastic pick.
@StevenIHaglund At the end of the day, we all wanted a culture change in this organization. That doesn't just go for the front office. Us fans will experience it as well. Let's enjoy the process of what it takes to build a winner. Patience is key. Trust the process.
