The Chargers landed one of the best-overall players in this year’s draft, regardless of position, by landing former Boston college left guard Zion Johnson.
Despite not being the most flashy pick, there are still plenty of people who absolutely love the move for the Chargers. The 6’3, 315-pounder is not possesses elite physical intangibles, he’s also incredibly intelligent and has the versatility to play just about every position along the offensive line in a pinch.
Let’s check out some of the best reactions to the pick:
Zion Johnson to the Chargers is my FAVORITE pick so far. Just phenomenal.

Zion Johnson was my highest graded OL in the draft class

There he goes: Chargers are drafting former Boston College guard Zion Johnson. Johnson has off-the-charts intangibles. A Tom Telesco pick all the way. Another blow to the Cowboys’ interior O-line outlook at No. 24. About to get interesting.

Chargers pick BC Zion Johnson who can play center and guard. "He’s so smart. Good swing player. He has the flexibility to recover; is good in pass pro, explosive in the run game. Does the weight room translate to the field? With him, it does." https://t.co/Nj5dTPsFdL

Zion Johnson was drafted with pick 17 of round 1 in the 2022 draft class. He scored a 9.75 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 34 out of 1298 OG from 1987 to 2022. https://t.co/nNM0bZfHhm #RAS #Chargers pic.twitter.com/FML7kHE0Su

From @dpbrugler on new Chargers OL Zion Johnson:

“…durable and didn’t miss a game the last five years, playing in 58 straight games.”
Ecstatic the #Chargers took Zion Johnson! Technically proficient as a run blocker and pass protector. I firmly believe he's going to be an excellent pro for a decade in the NFL #BoltUp
