After the selection, Los Angeles will now turn their attention to addressing the offensive line and finding a free safety and cornerback. General manager Tom Telesco will have picks No. 60 and 91 to use in order to add more talent to the roster. With that, here’s a glimpse at who L.A. could add in the draft, based on what a few mock drafts are projecting. Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar: OT Yodny Cajuste, West Virginia “Cajuste might require a year of NFL-level coaching to get his technique in order; right now, he’s kind of all over the place, but at 6’5 and 312 pounds, he shows the ability to envelop edge-rushers when he’s on point.” Sports Illustrated’s Connor Orr: QB Ryan Finley, WR Emanuel Hall “Pair Philip Rivers with a kid he spoke to on campus a year ago. Two members of the Wolfpack make it a more comfortable transitional environment for Finley.” “One of this draft’s most dangerous deep threats, Hall could help fill the Tyrell Williams-shaped hole in Philip Rivers’s heart.” CBS Sports’ R.J. White: CB Sean Bunting, OT Max Scharping “The Chargers could very well be in the mix for a corner with this pick after losing Jason Verrett.” “The Chargers should be in the mix for some help at right tackle at some point on Day 2, and after going corner earlier they end up making Scharping their pick for that purpose.” USA Today’s Nate Davis: OG Dru Samia: Oklahoma “Time to get aging Philip Rivers a little more security up the gut.” NFL Media’s Lance Zierlein: OT Max Scharping, CB Corey Ballentine Ballentine is a small-school standout, who worked his way up draft boards after a strong Senior Bowl week. Ballentine is a man coverage cornerback with good ball skills and physicality. He could be one of the sneaky selections in this year’s draft.<doc-sep>
The Chargers took defensive tackle Jerry Tillery with their 28th selection. Who could they look to take on Day 2 of the 2019 NFL Draft? The Los Angeles Chargers drafted an athletic pass rusher in Jerry Tillery to man the middle of their defense along with former third round pick Justin Jones and veteran Brandon Mebane. Now that the first round is over, who could they be looking at in the second and third round? Chargers’ Day 2 draft targets: Part 1 Dalton Risner, OL Thought he’d be the pick at No. 28, but the Chargers have a chance to grab him later on at pick 60. Offensive linemen, particularly those that could start at tackle, got pushed back out of the first round. If he’s anywhere near their pick, and Taylor and Ford are gone, go get him. Jawaan Taylor and Cody Ford, OL These guys come hand-in-hand, almost guaranteed to go in the first round just a few hours ago. Instead, both find themselves headed to the second round. That’s a shocker. Could the Chargers move up to grab one of them? Juan Thornhill, S The second round is when the Chargers should be targeting a free safety, if at all. Though, the team should weight whether or not a prospect like Thornhill or some of the other Day 2 safeties are guaranteed to be better players right now than someone like Tre Boston, who has already spent time with the team and is on the market. Renell Wren, IDL The second round might be rich for Wren, who would be a better value pick in the third round. Wren is a play disruptor and can demolish linemen, but needs to develop more consistency later on in games and better recognition of plays. Tillery’s selection would likely rule this out, though. Dre’mont Jones, IDL Jones has great speed coming out of his stance and can be disruptive on passing downs. He will need to work on counter moves to powerful and strong lineman who engage him early, and his size may be a concern. Similar to Wren, though, the Tillery selection rules this one out.
