The Los Angeles Chargers do not have a dire need at the cornerback position, but with Desmond King having a disappointing season and some shaky depth options, the team could certainly use one impact corner to make a difference.
It would not surprising to see the Chargers draft a cornerback in the mid-rounds just to serve as a nickel formation option until they progress into an every-down starter. That probably was the popular consensus heading into this week.
However, the landscape of the situation changed on Monday when it was reported that the New York Jets were expected to release vetrean cornerback Trumaine Johnson.
