After a disappointing end to the 2022 season, this will be an important mock draft for the Los Angeles Chargers in building their roster for the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the Chargers are a roster with star power on both sides of the ball, this is a team that needs more depth in order to compete in a stacked AFC.\u00a0 That leaves them with plenty of options for positions to target in this draft.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, without further ado let\u2019s start with their first-round pick at 21st overall.<\/span><\/p>\n

Round 1, 21st Overall: Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College<\/h3>\n

While Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are a good receiving duo, this is an offense that is lacking a deep threat who can stretch defenses.\u00a0 That receiver can be found in this mock draft with Zay Flowers<\/a> as he would be a perfect fit in the Los Angeles Chargers offense.<\/span><\/p>\n

Flowers not only can create vertical separation with speed, but he also has good ball tracking on deep balls.\u00a0 Even at just above 5-foot-9, there\u2019s still examples of him coming down with deep balls without much separation just by tracking the ball better than opposing defensive backs and going up to come down with tough catches.<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s not just a deep threat however as he also won quite a bit by separating quickly on short and intermediate routes.\u00a0 He was the focal point of Boston College\u2019s passing attack throughout his career as he led the team in receiving yards in each of his last three seasons.\u00a0 He won\u2019t have to be relied upon as much in the NFL and can excel in the right role.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zay Flowers is so explosive & so twitchy. He\u2019s so SUDDEN at the top of his routes. Quite impressive\ud83e\udee1 pic.twitter.com\/BckTCzj8a3<\/a><\/p>\n
