With the No. 6 overall selection of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Chargers selected former Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert.
This was a very common pick throughout the pre-draft process. While many are mixed on the selection, Los Angeles has finally secured their quarterback of the future.
Here are some of the reactions from Twitter after Herbert was selected:

Earlier this week, I talked to Chargers GM Tom Telesco about Herbert. He loves his movement skill, mental toughness and the fact that he's very self-motivated.

I'm going to get into all this in my analysis later tonight. But one quick thing: If you need a QB, you don't trade down and hope a guy falls to you. The position is way too important. If you like a guy, you take him with your earliest pick. You can't risk another team taking him

Justin Herbert’s last college game was just 21 miles away from his new NFL home.
Herbert’s three rushing TDs earned Oregon a 28-27 Rose Bowl win — and earned him Offensive MVP.

Tyrod Taylor: “So happy the Chargers committed to me so I can actually start again, can’t wait to see what help they get me in the draft.”
Roger Goodell: “With the 6th pick in the 2020 #NFLDraft, the Chargers select: Justin Herbert.”
