Chargers prove they’ve given up on Tom Telesco draft bust with day 3 selection

The 2024 NFL Draft was the LA Chargers’ first draft in over a decade without Tom Telesco. The former GM now finds himself with the Las Vegas Raiders while the Chargers spearheaded the draft with the duo of Joe Hortiz and Jim Harbaugh.

For the most part, the Chargers have turned in a quality draft class so far that is getting the fanbase excited. While the Joe Alt selection at five was a bit puzzling at the time, it makes much more sense in the grand scheme of the draft class.

Of course, it is great to be optimistic and naturally, every fan is going to see the absolute best out of their favorite team’s draft class. This class won’t officially be a good one until the players prove it on the field. But based on who the team selected, it appears that won’t be a problem.

It certainly looks better than the last few draft classes that Telesco had as GM of the Chargers. The Chargers weren’t just tasked with putting together a better draft class, the team was tasked with making up for Telesco’s previous mistakes. The team did that with this class and proved that it gave up on one player specifically with its sixth-round pick.
