When Roger Goodell announced the Chargers’ first round selection, us here at Bolts From The Blue were fairly content with the pick. We all expected an offensive tackle and several other positions before we expected a guard to be taken, but when we truly dove into the type of player Zion Johnson is, we began to love the pick immensely.
Overall, Johnson’s selection by the Bolts was also well-received across the NFL media landscape. At the end of the day, it seemed like any move the team could have made to protect prized quarterback Justin Herbert would have been met with rave reviews.
