The Facts: The Chargers select Oregon QB Herbert with the sixth pick overall in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Diehards Line:As NFL.com's Mike Garafolo pointed out, Herbert fits what the Chargers want to do on offense. A big, talented full-field scanner, Herbert is able to find the right read and sling it around the yard from the pocket or on the move. Herbert rushed throws in 2018, but he showed marked improvement in that area, excluding the Auburn opener. He trusts his protection while working through coverages and route development and has big-boy arm talent and drive velocity to stress and impress defenses. He's confident attacking downfield, but touch throws evade him and may have created tentativeness with certain short and intermediate throws. ... Remember, there's no rush to get Herbert in the lineup with Tyrod Taylor there to hold it down in the meantime if need be.
