Tight end is unfortunately one of the less exciting options for the Chargers to use an early pick on in this year’s draft but there is definitely a chance it could happen. The position has been in limbo the past two seasons with veterans Jared Cook and Gerald Everett carrying the load ever since Hunter Henry was allowed to walk in free agency two years ago.
While both Cook and Everett have done just fine as receivers, there’s been a blatant void at tight end in terms of a difference-maker in the run game that the offense sorely needed in 2022, especially with the host of injuries among the front five.
