Watching this post-draft as a Chargers fan. It seems like his issues are pretty coachable, and it helps that he's not going to come in and be the #1 or #2 (or possibly even #3 with josh palmer) Telesco talked up his work ethic in the post draft presser, hopefully that combined with our coaching staff and some time he ends up cooking into a good primary receiver

[@JarrekAsF]

That is fair. I just hope he doesn’t bust man. And even more ideally become great sooner than it took Mike Williams

[@TrepidationNation]

He's gonna be a monster if he gets good with his routes with Keenan and good with his catching with Mike

[@kevinmendoza5328]

He’s a 1st round pick. We want him contributing immediately. He needs to be playing WR2 opposite Williams so we can move Allen in the slot permanently.

[@TrepidationNation]

@@kevinmendoza5328 He will be contributing immediately. Supposedly, he is very focused on improving, so I expect him to be working his ass off during the offseason

[@BIGjeffSanDiego]

He’s going to get to learn from Keenan and Mike Dub too!

This is it!! I love that you just don’t mimic the hype that the brand name websites do. I wish you had a segment on NFL Network man.

Good idea on updating the title which the team name. Showed up right in my recommendation

[@zestylemons9461]

Can you do one of these deep dives on Georgia Techs Keion White? From what I’ve seen he looks electric but I think I need to see more. Keep up the hard work these vids are phenomenal!!

[@legend_2100]

He’ll be fine, Keenan will teach him how to perfect his routes and Big mike will teach him how to attack the ball on the contested catches 💯

Johnston is my WR1. He's the complete package at WR athletics-wise. Hope he falls to 18 so my Lions can snap him up.

[@palmtrees2420]

Glad my Bolts got him but your team had a great draft too. You guys already have a pretty good WR room.

[@jaysonsalsbery8430]

Passive route runner.

[@anti-classist]

I always find the critique he only does 5 routes really well and thats limiting as funny considering every wr has limited ability to run different routes and tend to make their mon3y on about 5 routes.

[@stefangerber3641]

really good videos. hope they come more... Downs, Flowers, Addison... and the TEs...

Just found your channel and love your analysis. I’m surprised you don’t have 100k + subs. It’d would be awesome to see your take on Addison and Flowers

[@BillyStephens]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Not sure if I’ll get to those guys before draft day, but my big board is up on my patreon!

[@thunderbolts2438]

I am ready for his talent! Nice selection.

[@huntermcphail7433]

I think his ability warrants a first round pick thus year with how important YAC has become for receivers. I think the only true #1 receiver this year is JSN, but Johnston could be a high level 2 X receiver. I hope my cowboys can pair him with Ceedee and it would be perfect.

[@12eBeL]

Keenan allen will coach him up. His releases and routes will be much better in the nfl.. Herbert throws lasers so his body catching wont be much of a problem. Mike williams also catches with his body.

[@sergiorocha76]

flowers wouldve been better

[@corvenzo221]

@@sergiorocha76 Flowers is 7 inches shorter and only ran a 0.07 sec faster 40 time. I think ppl are overrate Flowers' speed. He ran a 4.42. He's not a Tyreek or Waddle type player

Im gonna come right back to this channel when he proves everyone wrong. Day 2 receiver? Hes the best wr in this draft class.

[@texasranger9599]

Can you do one of these on day 2 and 3 values? I think Bryce Ford-Wheaton is a 5th rounder that could be a stud in 2-3 years.

[@BillyStephens]

That’s a good idea. Lots of late round values I like this year. I’ve got a couple more guys I’d like to cover, but I’ll try to fit it in before draft day

[@BillyStephens]

No. I gave JSN a first round grade

[@cwntman]

Soothsayer!!!

[@therealgigamosh]

bro you high if you think he's a second round pick. he will be one of the best wr in the league day 1 even with his issues, many of which are vastly overblown.

[@Mokuteke]

How is an issue like having a contested catch rate under 50% while being 6’4 being overblown. He doesn’t have enough speed to consistently create separation on deep balls in the league so that contested catch ability has to be great as an X receiver.

[@clownindan]

​@YRG Mokuteke did you watch all contested catches? Was the ball placement good or bad?

[@Hoochie243]

I can see him being used in short yardage situation and in the red zone...I just think it would have been better to get a TE that could help more in the 3rd and Short situation...

[@josht2749]

Came here to cope after my chargers drafted him at 21, not feeling any better after watching this smh

[@johninglese1406]

Lol same. Except I keep telling myself that he has Mike to learn contested catching from and Keenan to learn routes from. Probably just cope but if u need to get better at those things those are some of the best teachers u can have.

[@youngab3664]

I like the fact he’s good at YAC tho I think anyway he’ll be a nice asset but we maybe could’ve get better

[@jeremynelson2773]

It all comes down to how coachable he is. Can't teach size and speed which he has.

[@uhhangel]

@@jeremynelson2773 from what staley and telesco said, he has a good work ethic. im hoping he puts in work this offseason to prove everyone wrong

[@josht2749]

@@youngab3664 Yeah I guess my biggest problem is with everyone that was still available. Hoping this is just another case of most Chargers fans being wrong like we were with wanting Tua over Herbert lol some guys even wanted us drafting a LB over him. Only time will tell but hope QJ proves he's worth it

[@dadsonworldwide3238]

It doesn't matter hes a rare x that doesn't come along but every so many classes. So what if he's a 3 route randy that occupies cb and safrey most of the game. Spread out by default help to anyone trying to work inside. Presence of acceleration and size alone is helpful in forcing defense to scheme for it.

[@yangsong5084]

it seems like... his routes are meant to "run to a designated area of the field and wait for the ball to come" rather than with the intention of getting open

[@jaysonsalsbery8430]

Guys arent drafted for the players they are in college. Theyre drafted based on what a team thinks they can become. Its all projection and theres no such thing as a sure thing. Id be shocked if he fell out of the 1st round.

[@Aaron-wq3jz]

Not entirely true

[@williamhermann6635]

@@Aaron-wq3jz Its 100% true. If a team has their choice over a raw but elite athlete or a polished but average athlete, theyre taking the raw elite athlete every time in hopes they can turn him into something special. Its why guys like Derrius Heyward Bey are top 10 picks and guys like Keenan Allen fall to the 3rd round or later. Sure sometimes they have polish and elite athletic traits but those guys are few and far between.

[@yangsong5084]

@@williamhermann6635 yeah, anthony richardson is a number 4 pick when his college production and tape does not warrant that at all. They are drafted with pro projection in mind, and many times teams are looking for the home run guy in the first round.
