I’m not usually a fan for hyperbole, but I don’t think it’s too far off to say that the Chargers’ first two picks of the 2021 NFL draft are the best one-two selections for Tom Telesco since he became the team’s general manager in 2013.
The Bolts NEEDED a left tackle after revamping all three interior positions along the line and they managed to land Rashawn Slater, an elite blindside protector with the rare versatility to play every position up front. To begin day two, the Chargers stayed put once again and saw cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., not only the best man corner available but also the draft’s best-overall player left on the board, fall to them at No.
