HC Jim Harbaugh & GM Joe Hortiz 2024 Draft Day 1 Recap Press Conference | LA Chargers

[@scottmoore6604]

The look on his face when asked about a Herbert trade says it all. Was never going to happen.

[@tonyhughes110]

Yeah, not to mention that it would leave about a billion dollar cap hit for the next 3 years!

[@CreamyPesto505]

Any team thinking they could pull that trade off was on some fentanyl laced weed.

[@theycallmerobb]

I do not believe it ever even happened. Other teams understand no trade clauses and dead cap impact. I think Harbaugh was talking up JJ so much someone half jokingly asked if the Chargers would consider moving Herbert…not offering a detailed trade request. The whole thing was stupidity spread by a stupid sports writer wanting relevance and attention. I won’t name names, but Adam Schefter is known for for that sort of thing…

[@bobbylee1427]

Im pretty sure he was probably the one to put that rumor out there to really hope vikings traded for the 5th

[@xGR1MxREAPERx]

Bullshit!!! If they didn’t owe Herbert a bunch of money they would of traded him to Vikings and he would of drafted JJ.. 1000%

One of the Chargers best season recently came when the line was strong and there was serious talent in LT in the backfield in 2006 when they got 14-2. Does anyone remember any WR from that year? Just Gates in terms of pass catching but the biggest story was the run game. This is what Harbaugh is trying to emulate, they brought in JK Dobbins, Gus Edwards, possibly drafting a high tier RB in this years draft. I’m extremely optimistic about how he is building the team, because I see that 2006 scary af line being built

[@KesusWorldCollections]

They had LT. Shut up. Literally had a top 5 RB of all time. Plus that was 2006 NOT 2024. We don’t have the talent at rb or this draft to immolate that. Stop lying to yall selves

For those wishing we picked Nabers (like myself) ask, who were the main receivers during our runs in the 00s besides gates? We have lived with a pass heavy offense for over 10 years, we can't keep thinking like we're run by Telesco. Its a new era and frankly an era we haven't seen in decades. If you haven't watch the LT football era, don't be so quick to dismiss the new regime.

I won’t lie. I was and am not a fan of Hortiz’ start in Free Agency… But I have to feel for him and Harbaugh at this press conference. The questions being asked are embarrassing. These are professional sports reporters? How do you determine the ranking on your board? Seriously? You are a functional adult with at least minimal exposure to the game of football and you need that question answered? Really? That is critical to your article? That deserves time and space? I’ll help…they have spent time with the current roster. They have watched last year’s game film. Both of their team, and the prospects outlined by their scouting department. They have interviewed prospects. And they graded them factoring their ability to make the current roster better. Their impact. The best player FOR THE CHARGERS. Exactly what Hortiz said that is being misquoted by upset KZbin wannabe journalists. The best goes at the top of the board followed by the next best. This continues until there are no longer any players they are considering. They are even doing this for other team’s drafts and practice squads, existing rosters for potential trades or cuts… Sports writers and wannabes - I get the Charger fanbase is composed mostly of casual fans. You see it on Facebook and Twitter…I get it… But people, even casual fans, are not as stupid as that question eating time at a presser. Making them answer that sophomoric question three different ways is nothing short of journalistic incompetence.

Hope we take Keon Coleman in the 2nd and then Tahj Washington or Roman Wilson later

WR, CB , IDL with pick 37

Really bad questions with very good answers

The Bengals were in this situation a few seasons ago. They took the wr and made a SB appearance. They could have picked up a OT later down the road. Bummer 😞😞😞😞 😞

Yes but their QB is always hurt. I see it as they're protecting Herbert first, then giving him weapons second
