Herbert got some real dudes protecting him

[@adamprice7436]

Winning starts in the trenches. Build a bully, Protect Herbo. Great pick!

[@rhynoheadhancho]

Herbert’s smoking a victory brisket right now ⚡️

[@andreivlaicu8536]

He was arguably a generational prospect and definitely a blue-chip tackle in a draft class that Jim knows VERY well. Pick 7 was as late as we would've gone, especially considering the fact that the Titans reached for Latham. We did very well, and I'm sure that our staff saw enough of him to draft him and mold him. Remember that Sewell just got paid a ton of money and was just as well-rated as a prospect (if not better), transitioned to RT, and look at him now and what he brings to the Lions. Alt has the potential to do great. Plus we heard Jim himself basically anoint Rashawn as the LT going forward. This is a great pick for us and showcases that we are finally ready to make smart, mature personnel moves to make this team competitive according to sound structural principles. Exactly what we have been lacking. With that being said, I surely do hope we get Powers Johnson in round 2, then trade up with the Keenan 4th to get both Roman Wilson and Blake Corum in the 3rd. Very unlikely, but I'd sure love this scenario!

[@CreamyPesto505]

If Roman falls to us in the 3rd it'd be a miracle. Malik Washington is a name to watch out for though.

[@andreeabisx]

Very well said 👍

[@andreivlaicu8536]

​@@andreeabisx thanks 😊

Roman and Blake in the 3rd are very unlikely bro 😂

Sounds perfect. JPJ❤

Yup

I guarantee you Herbert is ecstatic...

Pro bowler first year, mark my words.

[@dandeitch3459]

Alt gives Herbert more time to throw dimes to QJ to drop!

[@paranoia_xo]

Yes sir!!!! Absolute unit, all the best Joe!

[@TheLyricsGuy]

He reminds me of Herbert. Similar personality and mannerisms. Humble, intelligent, well-spoken.

[@hosscartwright8925]

So many people don’t seem to understand it all begins on the line of scrimmage.Our O line especially RT gets smoked.Our offense can’t do anything with the playmakers most fans want without blocking.Simple

[@TwoCentPeanutGallery]

From what I remember zion johnson and will clapp allowed a ton of pressures and sacks.

[@mawile2468]

​@@TwoCentPeanutGallery And Storm Norton was even worse a few years back

My gut was right when I mocked him at 5... It all starts up front!

[@Leo_herdez07]

Love this pick man everyone just crying I swear wait until he becomes an all pro tackle for years the come ⚡️⚡️

[@markscott4830]

His father was a long time starter for the Chefs good pedigree. This is why this is a good pick he will stop Chris Jones and Max Crosby on the right. Finally be structred to wun games in our division

[@dandeitch3459]

Alt can help with Crosby while Wilkins is putting pressure on their interior

[@robertrosas5975]

@@dandeitch3459 simple fix just draft a IOL. I know how much you love OL. Theres still JPJ, Christian Haynes, cooper beebe, mason McCormick, Brandon Coleman and many other really good IOL in this draft. Might as well fix the whole OL.

⁠@@robertrosas5975 - why would you say “ I know how much you love OL “ ?

[@dandeitch3459]

@@robertrosas5975 - they have plenty of areas to address. It’s going to take a few seasons to build the team Harbaugh wants. I don’t expect them to be a contender this coming season when looking at their roster.

I’m fired up! Remember coach has a decade experience of scouting, he’ll find some gems for receivers

Love it he’s going to do great things to help us if we can block we can throw and run with anyone

Wow. He sounds really excited 😂

[@josephkd9711]

I’m sold. Pedigree. Adaptable. Hard worker. Just wants to play football.

[@OGTirpleOG]

Chargers have been plaque by a terrible Offensive line for almost a decade. Herbert was hurt the last two years and its due to our crappy Oline. He still need a WR, CB, Center, and DI but this is a great pick. I can see us going CB or DI in the second. WR in the third, C in the fourth, LB/DI/TE in the later rounds. Edit: just noticed theres still some 1st round WRs available. If we can get Adonai Mitchell in the 2nd round, I will not be upset at all

[@robertrubey6594]

Coach Harbaugh said that this guy was never injured. That was one of the reasons they looked at him.

[@CaesFinest]

Exactly!

[@khailz]

Protect our Herbert 💯💯

[@5891jonathan]

Excellent pick. Build this team from the inside out. Toughness on the OL is key to the teams that this HC and GM build.

[@zacharycenit1385]

I always love the personality of the players the Chargers get.

[@Bee_explores]

Cant run without the ALTernatator!!!

[@MyTeamOnly_]

I’m trying to tell people on twitter that this is a good pick. It’s not sexy but seriously there’s no edge duo itl that can beat them . outside runs are gonna be sealed. Like this is a good pick and it’s exactly the opposite of everything we’ve done before . Frankly everything we’ve done before hasn’t worked . So why don’t yall just stfu and give it a chance . We gave that bum Telesco a chance every year

[@The_Real_Daniel]

Good luck out there little guy were rooting for ya ⚡

[@Destro747]

Coach Harbaugh and Joe knows exactly what we need to build a Super Bowl caliber team! Y'all need to chill with all this whining 😡 we got more picks coming in this draft and free agency! TRUST THE PROCESS!!! and BOLT THE F UP!!!!!⚡⚡⚡

[@jeffbounds7025]

Great pic! We are going to be bullies! The only way to play football. People thought Harbaugh was kidding hahaha LETS GOOO!!!

[@christopherrobbins9985]

Homerun pick. Size and intelligence and pedigree. Future All-Pro. Bookend to Slater. Harbaugh will fortify the OL first, followed by DL and build out from there. Go Chargers and Go Blue!

[@jefframos4267]

Most ppl wanted Nabers… and Adonai Mitchell and a couple of nasty WRs still available. Hopefully he slides to us Nd if not we should get a CB tbh but I love this pick

[@joshk2879]

Wtf?!? He was a QB in high school, that awesome🤟😁🤟 I admit I was B-Hurt when he was called, but after sleeping on it…. I think it was a great decision, this next few rounds really will dictate the team’s success this year, need to grab at least 3 potential starters

[@darylsandlin5871]

So last night I was on Los Angeles chargers page 10 minutes before the draft pick was picked it flashed Joe as number one for 30 seconds and went away don't know if anybody saw that but they showed you who they were going to pick cuz they know the true charger fans have Los Angeles chargers web page

He's ready to take on Crosby and wilkins..Les GO!...

[@ottowilliams4584]

Gotta admit, I wanted the shiny new toy instead, but I trust the process, and am fired up. Imagine Herbert with plenty of time to disect a defensive backfield. There are quality WRs available in every round, UDFAs, and Chalk, Boyd, MVS. June cuts too.

[@Ghost-ten]

Welcome to LA

[@UFOHUNTERS2]

yes sr

[@spaniardprince]

GREAT pick!

[@lacken-skill7999]

He sounds like the Herbert of O linemen, they answer questions in the same mannerisms.

[@rorroreyes1739]

Great pick!!! Hell yea 👌👌

[@cjcurtis8944]

I was initially disappointed that if they weren’t going to trade down that they didn’t take a stud WR. But I do see the logic in this move. There’ll be some quality receivers later.

[@twhoyoutrynabebuchanan5149]

3 first round lineman for Herb. We better have a top 10 offensive line at the very least

[@rcebowl2323]

2-3 years he’ll be the best OL in NFL for 5-6 after

[@CreamyPesto505]

Something everyone is missing is that bolstering the o-line (with a generational talent btw) doesn't only protect Herbert, but is going to fuel a power run scheme that is going to form the core of this offense. I realize yall are mostly casuals, but at least do SOME research. On film, Alt is the best Tackle to come out in the last 5 years, AND Greg Roman (for those of you who are uninformed) throws the ball about as often as the US government makes good decisions. Edit: also, for the last decade, our run blocking has been absolutely atrocious. The bad takes are getting real old.

[@Realtalkchargers]

Welcome home Joe. Ball out kid #boltup

[@JustJammer23]

Everyone overlooks that the Chargers had Allen and Williams and Herbert and Ekeler for a couple years now and they won 1 playoff game? We bring in Nabers or Worthy or some other big WR talent and we just replace what we had to win 1 more playoff game in 3 years? Can’t expect Herbert to throw 500 yards every game to win with one of his sides being constantly collapsed

[@justintimberlake9347]

He is well spoken like Herbert

[@BoltBrosPodcast]

You win and lose at the line. This is the right pick to keep Herbert upright and dominate at the line. Bolt up Bros!!! ⚡⚡

[@SeemsLogical]

I don't think Joe Alt will win us any championships this season or the next, but down the line he should line us up to be contenders for a long while. I am not excited for the pick but I can understand the logic. Because the Chargers are a glass cannon offense; if Herbert goes down we're done. Our QB backups are junk and Joe Alt is our best bet at keeping Herbert healthy. We still need a wide receiver though... because the ones we have left are backups for a reason.
