Chargers Announce Intention To Draft Trevor Lawrence

Speaking in a Tuesday radio interview, Chargers GM Tom Telesco said he "likes our internal options" to replace Philip Rivers.Those "internal options" are Tyrod Taylor and 2019 fifth-rounder Easton Stick. Taylor is an NFL-level starter, but a low-end one. He would make sense as a bridge quarterback if the Chargers decide to go the draft route. Should the Bolts decide to get in on the free agent frenzy — every quarterback in a deep market figures to get linked to L.A. — Taylor's $5 million salary could make him too expensive to be a backup

Lynn just got extended, so this isn't a horrible situation. Chargers just found a way to lose. Find a T this year and hope recent draft picks stay healthy.

Too bad teams cannot do what Red Auerbach did when he drafted Larry Bird

I could see them tanking. Their coach isn't on the hot seat. I think their defense has a couple too many talented players though.

Yeah, that was brutal. Fun player to watch. Probably would have extended the careers of Bird, McHale, and Parrish.

There will be two big winners in the NFL this year, the team that wins the Super Bowl and the team that gets the rights to draft Lawrence.

Either one would be winning the Superbowl for me. If it were possible.... I would do everything possible to draft Lawrence. Somebody set up a meth lab in his basement just before the draft.... Maybe that will work

Everyone said the same thing before Andrew Luck. And people here were upset Minnesota didn't tank against the Redskins and lose a shot at Winston/Marriota.  There's no such thing as a can't miss guy.

For sure and there are always those players. I for one think Burrow wont be the player people hope and Tua is the better of the two. Am I right? I dont know, I am wrong a lot. 

Lawrence just seems like that Elway kind of prospect. Just so polished and just seems to have that grit and toughness.

Trading Matthew Stafford doesn't make sense financially for the Lions especially after a late December salary conversion designed to lower his 2020 salary cap from $31.5M to $21.3M. The Lions would have $32M in dead money with a Stafford trade.
