The Chargers will be in the market for cornerbacks. Michael Davis is set to be a free agent and the positional group could benefit from additional depth for defensive coordinator Jesse Minter.
Pro Football Focus suggests Bills’ Dane Jackson and Falcons’ Jeff Okudah as two options.
Here is what PFF said about Jackson:
The Chargers in this scenario add a young cornerback who was quickly trusted to log snaps in Sean McDermott’s defense. Jackson is a bit light but has good stop-and-start ability, closing well from off coverage.
Across four seasons, Jackson has appeared in 52 games with 28 starts. He posted 152 tackles, 28 passes defended and three interceptions.
For being a former seventh-round pick, Jackson has had a solid career.
As for Okudah, he was a first-round pick by the Lions in the 2020 NFL draft. But he was plagued by injuries and underwhelming play and was eventually traded to the Falcons last year.
Okudah’s play in coverage is hit or miss, but he is great against the run, which the Chargers could use on the back end.
