Supposedly, Lynn had a lot of say in the Chargers draft room, and it seems like they liked Tua just as much if not more than Herbert pre-draft.

Los Angeles Chargers general manager Tom Telesco revealed that his team would have drafted Tua Tagovailoa if the Miami Dolphins had passed on the former Alabama quarterback in last week’s NFL draft.
Telesco said Tuesday on "The Pat McAfee Show” that the Chargers would have selected Tagovailoa with the No. 6 pick if the Dolphins took Justin Herbert at No. 5.
"Yeah, we felt great about both guys,” Telesco said. "Well, actually, we felt great about all three quarterbacks that went in the top six. All three are going to be really good players in this league, and it’s a comforting factor to know. We hope we don’t pick sixth very often. If we do, I won’t be making very many picks here. So with a pick this high, if there’s a potential down-the-road franchise quarterback there that you like — you have to take him.”
