Chargers News: Los Angeles Earns Scant Prime Time Bouts in First Jim Harbaugh Season
At least, if prime-time game allocations are any kind of indication. The Bolts, even with the advent of new celebrity coach Jim Harbaugh, are slated to suit up for just three prime-time matchups in 2024. It could be seen as something of a slight that Los Angeles is only being granted three contests during the best window for viewership. Then again, the team did offload its best sure-thing offensive talent in Pro Bowl wide receiver Keenan Allen, along with WR2 Mike Williams and top running back Austin Ekeler.

It's not the sexy pick, but it's a pick thats going to make the Chargers better immediately and in the long term. Even though they needed wide receiver help, they also needed help at tackle and got a 10-year, Pro Bowl level starter in Joe Alt.

Expert Commentary
The Chargers desperately needed a wide receiver and traded up to get the speedy playmaker from Georgia. He was a force for the Dawgs from Day 1 and a fantastic route runner for an offense that featured several NFL players. It’s an unproven wide receiver room for the Chargers, but McConkey and Quentin Johnston have some promise at least.

Expert Commentary
The Chargers really needed a linebacker in the draft and Jim Harbaugh went back to Michigan to find one. Colson is one of the better linebacker prospects in the draft and his athleticism should help him make plays early for the Chargers.
