Good morning, Chargers fans!
Last night was as exciting and shocking as we’ve come to expect on the opening night of the NFL draft. The Chargers made their decision at No. 5 and while it may not be the one the majority of the fan base wanted, it finally helped clear up the picture both Jim Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz are trying to paint.
This morning, feel free to continue any and all discussions from last night’s events.
And now for today’s links.

The Chargers invest in the trenches for the third time in four seasons to protect Justin Herbert for the foreseeable future.
With the fifth-overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers selected Notre Dame offensive tackle Joe Alt.
So after all the reports and vibes that Jim Harbaugh is planning to run the mess out of the football, they’ve turned out to be true with the decision to draft the draft’s top tackle over any of the top wide receivers remaining not named Marvin Harrison Jr. Even after the media blitz predicting that it would be Alabama’s...

Chargers start off the Jim Harbaugh era by building in the trenches.
With the fifth overall pick, the Los Angeles Chargers have selected Notre Dame offensive tackle Joe Alt, choosing to take the best player on the board despite a clear need at receiver or the ability to gain value via a trade to quarterback-needy teams like the Vikings or Giants.
The Chargers had been connected to JC Latham in the weeks prior to the draft before four NFL draft analysts mocked him to the team on the first day of the draft.
Because the Chargers have a franchise left...

The 2024 NFL Draft is finally here!
At long last, by the end of this weekend, we will finally start to see the first steps in Jim Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz’s plan to reshape the Chargers organization in their image. Will they build through the trenches as much as the experts are signaling? Or will they continue to build around Justin Herbert with weapons after moving on from both longtime connections Keenan Allen and Mike Williams?
Enough waiting. Let’s get this thing...

JC Latham would help fix the Chargers’ run game, but is his selection at number five far too high for where he’s expected to go?
The first round of the 2024 NFL Draft is set to begin in less than 12 hours from now and the suspense surrounding what the Chargers will inevitably do with the fifth-overall pick is coming to a head. Things really started to shake up this morning as three of the biggest names in the draft community all dropped their final first-round mock drafts with each one picking the same exact player for the Chargers.

Let’s get wild, people!
The Chargers are about to take on the NFL draft with a first-year head coach and general manager combination in Jim Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz. Both bring a vastly different approach to team-building and drafting than the previous regime which means that the fan base could be in store for an exciting show across the next three days.
With not much history to look back on in the name of forecasting the duo’s potential moves, I thought it’d be fun to throw out some bold predictions that I sort’ve, kind’ve believe could really happen.

The Chargers need more running backs and George Holani could very well be a late-round flier for LA.
The reports of Chargers meeting with running back prospects expected to come off the board on day three continue with just one day to go until the 2024 NFL Draft’s opening night.
Per Justin Melo of The Draft Network, the Chargers met with Boise State running back George Holani during the team’s local pro day.. Holani played five seasons with the Broncos and ended his career with 3,596 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns. He also caught 88 passes for 777 yards and...

Dobbins will play for the Chargers on a one-year, $1.61 deal with $750,000 tied to incentives.
On Wednesday morning, ESPN’s Field Yates reported the official numbers for new Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins’ one-year contract. Per Yates, Dobbins’ deal carries a base value of $1.61 million while having an additional $750,000 tied to incentives.
Dobbins has played very sparingly over the past three seasons as he’s sustained a harsh number of severe injuries that have limited him to just nine games played since his rookie season where he saw time in 15 contests. After missing the entire 2021 campaign, he...

A new story by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler suggests that the Chargers want to add draft capital with a trade back and focus on the offensive line.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler published some last-minute rumors about the Los Angeles Chargers’ intentions in the 2024 NFL Draft. In the piece, he argues that the Chargers are “eager” to trade down from the fifth overall pick and are focused on grabbing an offensive tackle.
An NFC executive is quoted as saying “The Chargers have made that clear — they want to move back.”
While it initially seemed as if the Chargers could entice the...

Good morning, Chargers fans!
The 2024 NFL Draft is just one night away! To celebrate the occasion, I want you all to shoutout your favorite player in the entire class.
For me, I can’t help but love a big running back that refuses to be brought down. Florida State’s Trey Benson has been a blast to watch and he recently set the record for most forced missed tackles charter by Pro Football Focus in a single season. He’s also 6’1 and over 220 pounds. That’s an easy way...
