LOS ANGELES — The Chargers drafted their starters at quarterback and left tackle in the first round of the NFL draft in 2020 and ’21, respectively, Justin Herbert and Rashawn Slater earning Pro Bowl honors last season.
On Thursday, they think they drafted another big-time starter — even if the fanfare was a little more muted.
“Guards are people, too, right?” general manager Tom Telesco said, smiling. “I know it’s not the sexiest pick in the world.”
