The Los Angeles Chargers need to make a bold statement with the 2020 NFL Draft. There will be buzz created by the new $5B stadium, even with it being shared with the Rams. The buzz might last a full season, but NFL fans are known for impatience. The Philip Rivers era is over. Tyrod Taylor is a capable backup. As a starter, Taylor is little more than a caretaker.
The boldest statement the Chargers can make with the NFL Draft is to trade up to No. 3, making a deal with the Detroit Lions. The purpose of the trade would be to get a ‘shining-star’ quarterback leader who players and fans can rally around.
