But he's REALLY struggled over the last several years outside of that. Moreover, the 1st round picks he's gotten right were either guys taken in the top 5 or guys who you're sitting there shouting "NOOOOOO!!!! Why is this guy falling!! The damn Chargers are gonna get him!"
Derwin James and Rashawn Slater are the easiest examples. I could not for the life of me figure out why the league let either of those guys fall to SD. They were picks that anybody on this board could've made.
He took a gamble on Herbert and it hit. But correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't Herbert a guy who most thought would go 1.1 that season and he had an off year? It wasn't as though the guy didn't have a massive pedigree. A tough platform season pushed him behind Tua and for most that made very little sense. Even that had an element of luck to it.

He also completely cratered the Chargers salary cap. Hopefully he does the same in Vegas.
