Jim Harbaugh: Chargers could get top non-quarterback in NFL draft

LA Times  

Since the Chargers already have their quarterback, coach Jim Harbaugh says he can pick the best other position player in the draft with the fifth pick. “If four quarterbacks go in the first four picks, that’s not like the fifth pick anymore,” he said at the annual owners’ meetings. He called McCarthy’s performance last week in Ann Arbor “the best I’ve ever seen a quarterback do at a pro day.” He labeled McCarthy “incredible” and repeated his belief that McCarthy is “the best quarterback in the draft.” With Justin Herbert, the Chargers don’t need a quarterback. “But, hey, we all gotta get together here in the same room and, au naturel, we’ll go about it.” Harbaugh played quarterback in the NFL for 14 years, made a Pro Bowl and is such a part of Indianapolis Colts history that the franchise inducted him into its ring of honor. He is expected to greatly assist in Herbert’s development, Harbaugh saying he’s “definitely going to chip in there” while also noting all the other coaches who will have a role.
