The Chargers have gone from spending liberally on WRs to dead last in the league. What does that mean for Justin Herbert and the offense?
Even though the Los Angeles Chargers had an obvious need at receiver, it wasn't surprising when the team selected Notre Dame offensive tackle Joe Alt No. 5 overall on Day 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft. After the pick, new head coach Jim Harbaugh notably said: 'I know the question is gonna come up about weapons. We look at offensive linemen as weapons.' Heading into the draft, the Chargers only had four receivers on the roster in Quentin Johnston, Josh Palmer, Derius Davis and Simi Fehoko.
Williams accounted for 2,290 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns over the past three seasons for the Bolts. Palmer is the team's leading receiver returning from last season, when he posted 61 receptions for 581 receiving yards and two scores. Johnston, the No. 21 overall pick in the 2023 draft, had an uneven performance his rookie year, finishing with 38 receptions for 431 yards and two scores.
