Picking in the back-end of every round is something very difficult to do, and that’s what the Los Angeles Chargers did last year when they picked at the 28th position. After the first few surefire prospects (if there’s such thing as that) picked at the beginning of the draft, the hit rate begins to drop dramatically.
Chargers’ fans had an optimistic outlook from the 2019 draft class, but after injuries and underperformance, the 2019 draft class ended up being graded C+ in NFL.com’s rookie report card.
As said before, picking at 28th overall means most prospects remaining will have some issues, but with the added knowledge of one year of play, would the Chargers have doubled down on Jerry Tillery?
