Tom Telesco 2022 Draft Day 3 Recap Press Conference | LA Chargers

I like your take on the whole speed threat topic. Seems fair enough. I would say we have a balanced group of offensive weapons.

Definitely excited for our new O line and all the benefits it is going to reward all our weapons with.

@Taylor Quiroz guys like that Joe K just are so negative and have no positive thoughts or feelings , they come on YouTube and just spew nonsensical negativity and rupture every bit of good day I was attempting to have

@Freezo I am just looking at the rest of the playoff teams drafting a speedster while we dont yet we have the rarest QB arm strength in the NFL with likes of Allen and Mahomes. You are supposed to utilize your QBs strengths. Have a serious imposing deep threat puts fear in DBs heads that they have to worry about getting smoked deep. Which then allows other receivers underneath to get open. It helps all around. I never thought the picks made were bad in anyway they did well, just wish they got Herbert a speedster like the rest of the NFL

@Howard Strike they did well bolstering the O Line, added a nice RB2 and solid secondary depth. Having the deep threat as mentioned would seriously worry opposing DBs to not get beat deep which then allows crossers to get open as the safetys are pushed back. I like the team a lot and I just want them to utilize their rare QBs arm strength. Like imagine you are really good at something but you hardly get to use it?

Yes

Got none of those unfortunately

So was it me or did he say that it was exactly the same pick that they had lost on the Khalil Mack trade?

@Boltsup he got that pick back yes

Yes. At this point it seems the management is BLIND!!! We have a QB of RARE ARM TALENT in the NFL with the likes of MAHOMES AND ALLEN yet no deep threat receiver was taken. How strange is that??? No one and I mean NO ONE is saying how are we going to stop Jalen Guyton this week??🤣🤣🤣

I know hes often hurt but will fuller on this team would be epic

I agree. not aggressive intra draft. they got jumped multiple times and had to settle with their position

I agree a little with that. But you have to take into consideration that TT drafts heavily in favor of the HC. He always drafts the guys the HC wants. So a lot of those later round misses weren’t necessarily all his fault.

@JEkawaiolaP14 Yeah I understand that too. But as fans, we don’t necessarily know if previous picks are ‘heavily’ in favor of previous HCs choices because they never reveal that information. It’s still TT’s and his scouting team’s job that does the hw on prospects to rank and find which players fit the HC’s vision. If anything, player development plays a big role too. All I’m saying is TT is just way more conservative on draft day than other GMs, therefore they probably end up with their “lower ranked player” because they didn’t make moves to get the guy they really wanted. It seems more evident in this draft based on their press cons. Unlike the Derwin, Herbert, and Slater draft…you can tell they were really excited because ‘their guy fell to them’ luckily.

This is what i’ve been saying but chargers fans are blind. Rounds 2+ he just drafts “special teams” and seems like he just turns on auto pick lol

Please enlighten me on how the first round had most wrs drafted in history, and that players like jameson williams get traded up for? I’ll give you a hint.. these guys are going to get PAID 25m+ after their rookie deals you would need to draft them early before it eats salary cap. Thats why the chiefs moved on from Hill he was too expensive however they knew that a replacement this year was EXTREMELY likely with the speediest wideout group in history. Oh and Bill Belicheck went and got mac jones the fastest wr yet jones is not even close to herberts arm talent

I don’t think any team has ever filled all their needs in one draft. You ain’t going to be perfect at every position unless your the ’78 Steelers.
