Chargers address OT, CB in Draft Wire’s latest 2021 mock draft

The Chargers get Justin Herbert’s blindside protection in Draft Wire’s latest two-round mock draft.

The Chargers did not address two positions that were thought to be prioritized during the offseason: left tackle and outside cornerback.

Because of that, they are seen as spots that should be at the top of Los Angeles’ to-do list next offseason.

In Draft Wire’s Luke Easterling’s latest two-round projections for the 2021 NFL Draft, he sees L.A. selecting Texas OT Samuel Cosmi in the first-round and following that up with California CB Camryn Bynum in Round 2.

Cosmi, the 6-foot-7 and 310 pounder, is a technically proficient, athletically gifted left tackle, who possesses very good reactive athleticism with very good agility and change of direction quickness.

If Trey Pipkins or Sam Tevi don’t pan out this upcoming season, Cosmi would be an ideal candidate to protect quarterback Justin Herbert’s blindside for years to come.

Bynum, the Bears’ four-year starter, is a sound corner with very good reactive athleticism and coverage ability, as he seeks contact and battles on the perimeter, while also being a tenacious, competitive nuisance to receivers.

Michael Davis is entering the final year of his contract, while Casey Hayward will only have a year left after this season. Bynum is an ideal player who could contribute right off the bat.
