The Chargers drafted USC WR Brenden Rice, son of the greatest receiver of all-time. His dad and Jim Harbaugh were together in Oakland, when Harbaugh was just getting his coaching career started.

Junior Colson addresses a position of need, while entering Los Angeles knowing all about Jesse Minter’s defense. Checks all the boxes. Harbaugh gets a Michigan man.
— Chris Hayre (@chrishayre) April 27, 2024

Wow. @chargers and Jim Harbaugh are having a great draft. A Jim Harbaugh type of draft!! Tough. Physical. Disciplined. Junior Colson is the best MLB in the drat. A physical thumper and he has plenty of athletic ability to defend the pass.

Saban on Georgia WR Ladd McConkey, picked by the Chargers, who played hurt in the SEC title game.

Ladd McConkey isn’t just 4.39 fast, he is quicker than a fox. It makes him a tough cover and a quarterbacks best friend. When I watched his tape, I just kept saying dang he set that route up perfectly and gives DBs no time to recover. The @chargers and Herbert have their Ladd. pic.twitter.com/Mm01CceHbl
