กินดี1688 The top three picks in this year’s draft – the Chicago Bears, Washington Commanders and New England Patriots – will select a new quarterback, while Arizona The Cardinals could trade the No. 4 pick to a quarterback-needy team like the Minnesota Vikings or Denver Broncos as well.

So Harbaugh feels like the Chargers’ No. 5 pick will be the No. 1 pick in the 2024 draft with the opportunity to select the best player besides quarterback.

“There’s talk of a quarterback going out among the first four picks. If that happens, that pick (No. 5) really becomes the No. 1 pick,” Harbaugh said. 4 quarterbacks go in the first 4 picks. That’s not the same as the No. 5 pick. That’s more like the No. 1 pick in the draft for a great quarterback available. already’

Having Justin Herbert gives the Chargers rare flexibility in being able to select a top-ranked non-quarterback player based on the situation, according to Harbaugh. But even though Three of the top four quarterbacks will be selected, but the Chargers head coach is still looking at how that could benefit his team and what a possible trade down could be. 

‘I mean, maybe four quarterbacks don’t communicate with each other. It’s unprecedented,” Harbaugh said. “But maybe there’s another quarterback out there. When option number 5 comes along and someone wants it, again, that’s like option number 1.’

‘It’s an exciting choice’ 

Harbaugh also praised his former students. J.J. McCarthy, who led Michigan to its first national championship last season, is a quarterback with the strength and potential to be a top pick. After Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Drake May. 

‘The workout that J.J. does, I’ve watched many pro day workouts and watched the quarterback throw the ball. That’s the best thing I’ve ever seen a quarterback do on Pro Day,’ Harbaugh said of his former student.

“You heard the coach and the GM come up to me and say, ‘Hey, great job J.J.,'” Harbaugh said. “As I anticipated, When they’re around me I heard stories about how he was on the board. How is he on the field? Little things that are intangible It was not surprising in the slightest. There’s only praise.’

‘It’s great to hear and incredible to hear. And I know it’s sincere It wasn’t requested. There are many GMs. So many head coaches who can’t say enough good things. You’ve seen it.’
