Chargers News: Unheralded WR Could Still Be LA's Most Important Wideout
The Los Angeles Chargers will enter the 2024 season with a ton of new names and faces, from the front office to the coaching staff and the players. The Chargers will look to build something special with their new regime, and while that'll be the case, there are some familiar faces in the building. Quarterback Justin Herbert, the Bolts' best player, will look for a special season — his fifth in the NFL. Herbert and the others, including his pass-catching weapons, will be vital for the squad.

It's not the sexy pick, but it's a pick thats going to make the Chargers better immediately and in the long term. Even though they needed wide receiver help, they also needed help at tackle and got a 10-year, Pro Bowl level starter in Joe Alt.

Expert Commentary
The Chargers desperately needed a wide receiver and traded up to get the speedy playmaker from Georgia. He was a force for the Dawgs from Day 1 and a fantastic route runner for an offense that featured several NFL players. It’s an unproven wide receiver room for the Chargers, but McConkey and Quentin Johnston have some promise at least.

Expert Commentary
The Chargers really needed a linebacker in the draft and Jim Harbaugh went back to Michigan to find one. Colson is one of the better linebacker prospects in the draft and his athleticism should help him make plays early for the Chargers.
