4 Chargers takeaways following free agency and ahead of NFL draft

General manager Tom Telesco has loaded up with talent, but he’s not done yet.

Valuing the wide receiver class

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are both coming off productive seasons, surpassing 1,000 receiving yards. However, there is no one behind the two that can be called upon. Travis Benjamin was released and the other guys at the position didn’t produce when they had the opportunity last season.

The Chargers didn’t dip into the free agency pool in hopes of finding a guy to play opposite of Williams, which means that they realize how deep this year’s wideout class is. There will be plenty of options beyond Round 1 that they should consider, and I expect them to grab one within the first four rounds.
