Many were expecting the LA Chargers to draft a cornerback in the 2020 NFL Draft. While it was not viewed as a massive need for the team, the team seemingly did need an outside cornerback to play alongside Casey Hayward.
New signing Chris Harris was slated to be the team’s primary slot corner and with Adrian Phillips signing with the New England Patriots, Desmond King is likely going to take on his old role in the defense.
It was surprising when the team opted not to draft a corner, with some wondering if the team is simply waiting for an undrafted free agent, a potential free-agent signing (such as Logan Ryan) or if they trust in the guys this have on the roster.
