Bolts, logically, again didn't draft QB

To judge an NFL team’s draft class, wait four years.

So says Bill Polian, a Hall of Famer at judging football talent.

Come January 2020, what grade will the Chargers assign to the eight-man draft class that Polian protégé Tom Telesco and John Spanos assembled last week?

Whatever Chargers bosses conclude, they can’t complain about how the ‘16 draft set up for them.

By “virtue” of their 4-12 season, the Bolts received several goodies that we all know about by now: the third pick overall that was their first top-10 choice since 2004, five other top-5 picks in other rounds, and a Telesco Era-best eight draft chips overall.
