James Weaver

Um, they also drafted Brennan Thompson receiver from Mississippi state again, another depth piece, but I mean, this chargers team, you guys mentioned this offensive line stays healthy.

They're right there.

You know, you look across the books, they're pretty much tied with the chiefs to win the division.

Um,

They're up their tops in Super Bowl odds as well.

So it's not more of kind of getting things to help Herbert right now.

It's more, can this team stay healthy?

And it's from that perspective that will get them over the edge.

This was a no doubt surefire pick first, first overall pick in this draft to put some numbers to it.

He had a higher inner, he had a higher inner quarterback rating in, excuse me, sorry.

He had a higher IQR, which is our independent quarterback rating at SIS and positive pass percentage than Joe Burrow did in college in his 2019 season, which everyone thinks is the greatest quarterback season of all time and has the third highest on target percentage as well.

One issue with Mendoza that people see is his footwork and sometimes when he's pressured, he can kind of step up into the wrong positions within the pocket, step into pressure and kind of make some errant throws.

When he did get pressured, his on-target percentage dropped to 63%, which was good for 12th last year among prospects and last quarterbacks in their last seasons and 49% in completion percentage.

So a little bit of an issue there for pressure.

But other than that, he's able to diagnose defense better than anyone and very comparable to Tom Brady there.

So

You pair him up there, and then from a protection standpoint, they go get Tyler Linderbaum, who's going to diagnose all the pressures and everything from the defensive lineup on that front.

That's going to be an unbelievable pairing to make sure that they're making the right play, making the right call.

And then, yeah, the two corners that they got, Trayden Stukes out of Arizona in the second round, and then, yeah, Jermar McCoy fell to them in the fourth round there.

If barring the injury that he had last year, obviously that's the big thing, and the medicals came back not great on him
