Chargers GM Joe Hortiz has said over and over again that he will take best player available and the last time he spoke he said that he, not Jim Harbaugh, has the final say on player selection. If they take J.C. Latham at 5 overall, neither of those statements ring true.
@dantalkssports The whole JC Latham talk is giving me DJ Fluker feels from Telescos first draft. Ultimately, spending premium picks on non premium positions is what gets teams in cap trouble. It has to be WR or back at 5 for me. Especially given the rosters depth at WR and CB
@dantalkssports Let's not forget who Hortiz took last year in the draft; WR Flowers. So I believe Hortiz will see the need in the Chargers WR room and take Nabers, MHJ or Odunze.
@dantalkssports Bovada doesn’t even have the odds for the 5th pick because no one knows what they’re going to do. Legit goes from 4th to 6tg
@dantalkssports Exactly right. The depressing thing to me is Latham would say Harbaugh truly does want Herbert to just be an Alex Smith-type game manager. I think that’s selling Herbert way short.
@dantalkssports I will be very disappointed if they take Latham at 5. Trade down and take him? Sure. This pick would make no sense.
