After the Los Angeles Chargers began a new era under Jim Harbaugh, the team moved on from its core of playmakers alongside Justin Herbert in an effort to overhaul the roster with a new head coach.

Running back Austin Ekeler signed with the Washington Commanders in free agency, Keenan Allen was traded to the Chicago Bears and Mike Williams was released and signed with the New York Jets, as Los Angeles looks to retool their offense to fit Harbaugh’s scheme with Herbert.

For the Chargers to bolster their weapons for Herbert, the front office will need to nail the upcoming NFL Draft, where they hold the fifth-overall pick in a loaded receiver class.

The Chargers’ big three tallied 2,565 total yards despite Williams suffering a season-ending injury during a Week 4 matchup.

On the season, Williams tallied 249 yards in three games, adding a touchdown for his efforts. Allen posted a career-year at age 31, notching a career-high in receptions with 108, piling on 1,243 yards and seven touchdowns. Ekeler led the Los Angeles backfield with 1,064 total yards on 230 touches with six touchdowns on the season.

These three accounted for roughly 43% of the Chargers’ yardage offensively, and totaled 40% of their touchdowns between the three of them, a lot of production for the Chargers to replace as they look to bolster their offense around Herbert via the draft.

Holding the fifth-overall pick allows the Chargers to have their selection of the top receivers in a loaded draft class at the wideout position.

Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, and Rome Odunze could all be in the running for Los Angeles’ top pick to give the Chargers a new top option to pair with Herbert. All three receivers are among the best in the class and are all mocked in the top ten picks of the draft.

The Chargers are expected to target a wideout with their fifth pick after losing their three main contributors over the last several seasons.
