Jim Harbaugh, Chargers lands ex-Steelers weapon that will have Patrick Mahomes shaking
The Los Angeles Chargers fell on hard times in the 2023 season, and when they went from a playoff team in the 2022 season to last place in the AFC West with a 5-12 record, the team cleaned house and brought in Jim Harbaugh to become head coach and take over the operation. In many ways, the pressure on Harbaugh will be deferred for at least one full season. Remember, this team played non-competitively in several games last season and it appeared the team quit on former head coach Brandon Staley because his decision-making was questionable and his leadership was non-existent.

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.
