Chargers Were Prepared To Select Tua Tagovailoa At No. 6

Apr 28, 2020 3:03 PM

The Los Angeles Chargers were prepared to select Tua Tagovailoa if Justin Herbert was already off the board.

"Yeah, we felt great about both guys," Tom Telesco said. "Well, actually, we felt great about all three quarterbacks that went in the top six. All three are going to be really good players in this league, and it's a comforting factor to know. We hope we don't pick sixth very often. If we do, I won't be making very many picks here. (So) in a pick this high, if there's a potential down-the-road franchise quarterback there that you like, you have to take him."

The Chargers decided not to trade up because of how close they had the quarterbacks on their board.
