I heard he is one of the youngest prospects in this draft- he’ll turn 21 in September. So he has some growth and improvement ahead of him- perfect to learn behind Mack and replace him in a year or so!

I like this pick. Big with a motor. Let him sub Mack and Bosa both and learn to be a pro. BTFU

TT drafted for a perceived need.....which almost always is a mistake. To use a baseball analogy, I see this pick as a single, not a homerun.

Throughout the entire lead up to the draft we've all been clamoring for an Edge prospect- I even thought this was our #1 need and hoped our first pick would be one of the upper-ranked Edge players. Getting Tuli in the second isn't a reach, based on his rankings it's where he should've been taken. The "fit" for the Chargers is he's a local kid (from USC) and he's young, allowing him to play behind Mack and learn before needing him to be a full time starter. And he's pretty good!

And that is the problem, he was pretty good in college, but I see a struggle in the Pro's.
If Edge was viewed as such a need, TT should have drafted Nolan Smith in rd 1.....
Time will tell, but I just don't see it with Tuli......

I don't get the animosity with this pick... Nolan Smith is small and under sized. We need pass rushers that can also defend the run, Tuli fits the bill.

He’s got the size and motor. He got college accolades. This was a solid draft pick. Size motor and Mack teaching. Great post by you. |

He just really wanted Nolan Smith for some reason and will die on that hill no matter what to save face.

I have looked a plenty of his play on film since he was the pick, and it is just a feeling.....just my read on him nothing more.

No, I wanted Robinson.....after he was off the board, I was just an interested bystander. The Nolan Smith aspect is who I thought the Chargers would pick, nothing more.
