The Chargers used the 24th pick on USC edge rusher Tuli Tuipulotu to reinforce the pass rush.
Here are the best social media reactions to the Bolts’ latest first-round pick:
Here is @dpbrugler on Tuli Tuipulotu: "There are a few concerning areas about his game, but Tuipulotu finds his way to the football because of his pass-rush instincts, natural power and relentless effort — and that should continue in the NFL."

I think Tuli Tuipulotu is more of your Morgan Fox long term replacement than a long term edge rusher personally.

Tuli Tuipulotu was drafted with pick 54 of round 2 in the 2023 draft class. He does not qualify for a #RAS due to a lack of measurements. https://t.co/mPEqcQD8SU pic.twitter.com/koLvMzusR5

With the selection of edge Tuli Tuipulotu, the #Chargers have picked 12 defensive players from USC in the Common Draft Era, which is the most for any team in the NFL.

The Chargers go with EDGE Tuli Tuipulotu in round two over guys like Darnell Washington.

EDGE rushers went quickly in round two and it feels like a bit of a reach, but I liked him. Great motor, good strength and inside/out versatility.
Only 19 NCAA defensive linemen/edge rushers logged 400 pass-rushing snaps in 2022. Tuli Tuipulotu ranked second in pass-rush win rate at 19.1%.

Of the 164 players with 300+ pass-rushing snaps, he ranked 17th, marginally behind Will Anderson Jr.

Tuli, at 6'3 266, had a breakout 2022 with 46 tkls, 22 tfls (#2 in FBS) and 13.5 sacks (best in FBS).
He has great short-area quickness, a motor that never stops and heavy hands that pry open blocks and allow him to shoot gaps and make plays. pic.twitter.com/0BPW7Keqlx
