If the Chargers actually go through with picking a wide receiver in the first round, it MUST be a player who can step on the field day one and make an immediate impact. And then, of course, the Bolts selecting a receiver in the first means that the team has likely moved on from Mike Williams and didn’t re-sign him to a massive deal. They have Joshua Palmer, but that’s far from a 1:1 replacement.
In a new two-round mock draft done by Pro Football Focus, author Austin Gayle went about the exercise as if the Chargers were not expected to retain Williams this offseason.
