The Los Angeles Chargers are prioritizing quarterback Justin Herbert's protection ahead of the NFL Draft, following a challenging season where he was sacked 54 times, the third most in the league. In a recent mock draft by NFL's Mike Band, the Chargers are projected to select guard Chase Bisontis in the first round. This move is seen as essential since the Chargers have only made one significant signing this offseason, bringing in center Tyler Biadasz. With offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel emphasizing a scheme that demands more agility from offensive linemen, Bisontis's athleticism and tackle experience make him a logical choice. While the Chargers have made strides to improve the offensive line, including the return of players like Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater, further enhancements are necessary. Additionally, the team may look to strengthen its receiving corps if veteran Keenan Allen departs, but the immediate focus remains on ensuring Herbert has better protection to avoid repeated sacks.
