Will the name on that card read by commissioner Roger Goodell be a quarterback? It absolutely should be.
In the team’s 60-year history, the Chargers have selected a quarterback just three times. That’s it. Two of those should immediately come to mind in Eli Manning (who vowed to never play for the team and was then traded) and Ryan Leaf.
Before the team chose Leaf at No. 2 overall in 1998, the last time it took a quarterback in the first round was all the way back in 1969 with a guy named Marty Domres.
