Round 4, No. 97, CB Chase Lucas, Arizona State
This is a position that could be addressed somewhere on Day 2. But after bolstering the offensive line, the Chargers draft a player that has potential to be in the starting lineup in Year 2.
Given how Michael Davis has been playing, I could see him being re-signed. But the chances are a bit more slim with Casey Hayward once his contract is up after the 2021 season solely based on seeing slight regressions with his play.
Lucas will be coveted for his aggressive nature against the run and as a blitzer, but he specifically fits Los Angeles’ scheme with his ability in zone coverage, where he shows great instincts and excellent transition skills to stay on receiver’s hips.
Arizona State Redshirt Senior Chase Lucas. Not a big guy, 6-0 176lbs but throws his body around. I'm looking for more man coverage reps. ASU plays a ton of off one, but so far I've been impressed with him reading his keys and shooting with no hesitation. #CRFB @CrockerReport pic.twitter.com/Nj3MKwZcsc
