    ...San Diego QB Josh Johnson drew a crowd to the USD workout which was attended by representatives from 20 NFL teams, including head coaches Norv Turner of San Diego and Carolina’s John Fox. At 6-foot-3, 215-pounds, he has an NFL body and some skills to go with it. The Chargers’ Turner described Johnson as having done a ‘good job’ after he threw the ball for about a half an hour. Indeed, Johnson reportedly threw the ball much better than he did at the combine where he had been bothered by back spasms after recording the fastest 40-yard time of any QB present.

    I hope they are interested in a QB but not a rookie, we've already got 2 guys who are practically rookies. We need a VETERAN and we need one bad.

    Sure. But damn, he's being thought of that high still, huh? Either way, damn. This can be a good thing...christ, if two quarterbacks go top 13, this gives us a better chance of scoring an elite tackle....

    I will be really surprised if they go with a QB especially early. I feel about as good going with Matt Moore as I would with any of the veteran who are available right now.

    Well I think a lot of the talk would be if Jake ends up being a wash after surgery and having a reliable option after Moore or to compete with him.

    I wouldn't read too much into that. Like Magnus says, they scout everybody. They were already in Southern California looking at Cedric Ellis and probably a few others at USC. It's Fox's part of the country so I'm sure he is taking full advantage of getting to spend some time there.
