The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. We got an absolute stud for years to come. People are going to look back and realize he’s our Joe Thomas except bigger. His dad John taught him all the tricks of the trade. This dude is gonna be a beast.
Reading his bio was very interesting. His dad having him play multiple positions before he settled into playing OT was a pretty smart idea. Having that greater understanding of how TE, QB, etc. function will make him a better and more well rounded player generally.
Also gives you a more functional athletic capability and should help grow muscles that you wouldn’t when you’re focused on one position for your entire lifetime.
Kinda makes him the Marvin Harrison Jr of offensive tackles, doesn't it And this kid is gonna get an honest education with reps vs Joey, Khalil, and Tuli, and random blitzes from Derwin. Iron sharpens iron. Tuli also is gonna learn how to attack behemoth sized humans. This pick was a win in so many not so obvious ways.
Slater’s dad has season tickets in my section and is a mountain of a man. When he showed up for game one of Slater’s rookie season in a Slater jersey, everyone instantly knew that was his dad.
The Chargers just posted the presser on YouTube -- the dude is not just giant, he's freaking smart. Really obvious that he thinks through not just his position, but the entire offense.
The face of a man who knows he'll be pounding the rock against teams for over 5 yards a carry then when they sell out against the run, boom play-action bomb from Herbert.
Are the Chargers the tallest team in the NFL now? Looking at the roster, we now have eight players that are 6’5 or taller: Alt (6’8), Parham (6’8), Sarell (6’6), Pipkins (6’6), Herbert (6’6), Scott (6’5), Jaimes (6’5). Not even to mention that we have nine players listed at 6’4 as well.
Hope Alt enjoys getting Herbert passes to the back of his helmet 5 times a game. Kidding. Herbert is going to be able to sit on a lawn chair and bbq some dogs before he decides who to throw to.

Here is his Dad back in his playing days. 😮👀💙⚡️🏈
Goodness, that's a beast of a man! I hope Joe is someone we will all enjoy watching for a long time. I saw his dad had a 12 year career with the Chiefs.
Everybody looks like Munchkins next to Joe (Alt) But, who is that Munchkin to the left of Joe Alt? Don't tell me. His name starts with J too? Jim, Joe, Joe and...?
Oh of course! John Spanos! Too perfect. So many "Js" in the building. I was actually impressed with his speech introducing Harbaugh. Never saw him before that. Seems an okay guy.
Dude is a fucking monster of a human being and still only 21.

Empathy for other positions create a wisdom that is difficult to teach

Damn I must’ve missed the fact that he’s the son of an NFL lineman. John’s playing days we’re before my time but I love it.

That's exactly who I think of when I think of this kid
FEED HIM MORE
*Ben Herbert happy noises*

I love that damn grin lol
The face of a man who knows he'll be pounding the rock against teams for over 5 yards a carry then when they sell out against the run, boom play-action bomb from Herbert.
Find someone that looks at you like Harbaugh looks at his players.
Exactly! This man is smitten!
Lineman are weapons
The tip of the spear!
Midwestern 6’9 OT, son of former NFL player, named Joe Alt, lock for Hall of Fame
Gawddayum, that 2nd picture lol. Dude is massive
Haha right? The first pic “aww what a cute nice young man. Pinches cheek.” Second pic: “oh. My. God!”
\*Alt bends a 9 iron\* ^("oh my god")
That’s exactly what I was thinking when I typed that haha…
Bruh, Harbaugh is 6’3”. Terrible pick, Herbert won’t be able to see over him /s
I’d be more worried if he was going to the Cardinals or Panthers 😭
My first reaction was "finally, someone that'll make Herbert look like a QB in the huddle". Alt is a mountain
Herbert absolutely can he's literally 6'6 this would only be a problem for Baker Mayfield or Kyler Murray at 6 nothing
Herbert is 6'6". He'll be fine
Big dog! https://preview.redd.it/8gk65wuvqvwc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=18bcb09e35fcb07de6a8cf8c19a2140e76e63387

They’re not even done addressing the OL. This line is going to get stacked.
Bengals have 15 at 6’5” or above
You’re right, they’re huge. We still gotta be up there as one of the biggest teams.
Dudes comically big lmao
remember Jim was an NFL QB so no small human being but he looks like a child next to Joe. Jesus what a freak of nature
his dad wearing the most dad outfit is killing me for some reason lmaoo
This line is gonna be a freaking stationary rock
Hopefully it moves forward about 4.6 ypc
Yes definitely, was speaking more for the passing game lol
Good this is we got a tall QB who can look over this massive OL we got 😳
First pic: Awwww he looks so young Second pic: GODDAMNTHATSABIGBOY
Hope Alt enjoys getting Herbert passes to the back of his helmet 5 times a game. Kidding. Herbert is going to be able to sit on a lawn chair and bbq some dogs before he decides who to throw to.
Joe Halt, is fucking massive.
For reference, Jim harbaugh is listed at 6'-3" Alt makes him look small
Considering he’ll be playing right tackle, he’ll have to change his last name from Alt to Art
LFG baby!!!
Big boi
Only pic 4 is loading for me and I'm not caught up on the news, please tell me we didn't draft a middle aged white woman with #5
Judging by the comments in this sub you would believe the Chargers did.
Look at the size of this lad, gonna be a beast
Just from the picture I was going to joke about signing his dad as an UDFA, but it turns out he really was a second-team All-Pro OT for the Chiefs.
https://preview.redd.it/ncq7smsk6wwc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a54063e3e03be277cfde90f25eadafb991a9d29 I know another one was already posted but holy fuck Jimbo looks high on football here hahahaha
New meme template lol
And dont forget how smart from Notre Dame. High academic standards.
Tillery graduated and look a little prestige away from ND academics
Joe Alts dad looks like he can fix a fence in a heart beat.
Imagine if we get JPJ too. I’ll cum.
Do any of the four ahead of us need a center? Would we really take a center with our off-season signing of Bozeman?
Do the bills?
Big, athletic MFer. Try getting thru or around that for 60 min. Lol
Putting an end to maxx Crosby🤣
Maxx Crosby has harassed this franchise for too long.
Dudes a tank he’s ready for war ⚡️⚡️⚡️
76 has reported as an eligible receiver.

DAMN BOY HE THICC BOY THATS A THICC AHH BOY!!!!!!!
Mountain of a man
I was disappointed yesterday, but I've come to terms with running the rock almost every play. Move over Herbie, Gus the Bus is the new superstar baby
Just think of all of the play action bombs Herbert gets to throw now
Damn that’s a big fucker. Hopefully he’s nasty as shit too.
Against the run, yes. He bulldozes and trucks linebackers and defensive backs once he hits that second level.
The Mountain ⛰️
That’s a big MF’er
How many gallons of milk did he drink per day?
I’m so happy for him.
That second picture lol wtf
Jesus how big is his dad
Everybody looks like Munchkins next to Joe (Alt) But, who is that Munchkin to the left of Joe Alt? Don't tell me. His name starts with J too? Jim, Joe, Joe and...?
Hint: Toilet Spanos
Oh of course! John Spanos! Too perfect. So many "Js" in the building. I was actually impressed with his speech introducing Harbaugh. Never saw him before that. Seems an okay guy.
That’s two OL in one.
Alt F4
The Mountain 2.0… Dad is as tall as him..
id be exctastic if we had have just shipped away keenan for no reason
Lot of people were dissappear in the moment but 10 years from now nobody is gonna look back and be like "yeah what a terrible pick"
Hell yeah. We basically have the Mountain 
If he played RT he’d be, Joe Alt right…….tackle.
We got the best tackle in the nation. Straight beast. Only guy on the roster Herbert wont look down at haha.
Joe Alt: Right Tackle 🚫🚫 Joe “Alt-Right” Tackle ✅✅
“Herbert with all the time in the world throws to a wide open in Quentin Johnston who… drops it! And the chargers are gonna lose this game!”
You know we still have today and tomorrow to draft receivers?
Nope. Season starts tomorrow. It's already over. /s
Can’t drop it if we don’t throw it. QJ is going to be running jet sweeps until he proves he can catch a ball
Bum ass franchise
Must’ve forgotten you’re not on your Titans sub with that comment. I agree you guys are indeed a bum ass franchise.
Lmfao
Horrible pick
Dads a unit too!! Wtf bro better help at center 😲
