Why the Chargers selected QB Max Duggan

Well, be careful what you write in one selection profile, because it may come back to bite you in the last round of the day.

The Chargers selected Max Duggan with their final selection of the day, and it’s pretty obvious why after watching the draft play out in its entirety.

The success of this team rides on a healthy Justin Herbert. If injured, this team doesn’t stand a chance to compete in an AFC that is historically loaded with quarterback talent.

As such, it makes sense to spend as minimally as possible on a backup quarterback now that Herbert is becoming a veteran himself and doesn’t need a player/coach mentoring him like Chase Daniels.
