The Chargers have often been paired with a top wide receiver in this year’s draft class among the dozens of mocks we’ve seen up to this point. With Keenan Allen on the wrong side of 30, on top of missing seven games in 2022, it’s easy for draft analysts to see that the writing is on the wall.
But the Chargers need more than just a receiver in this year’s draft. There’s just as much of a chance that they draft another offensive lineman, edge rusher, or tight end. If the team decides to go in that direction — away from a receiver early — then these are three names I really like on day three of the draft.
