Los Angeles Chargers: First 2020 mock draft without Philip Rivers

If Melvin Gordon returns to the Los Angeles Chargers then there is no need for another running back. If he signs elsewhere, then the Chargers should be inclined to use a late-round pick to replace him on the depth chart, even though they still have Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson.

Feaster would be more than just a depth option, though, as he provides a great pairing alongside Ekeler that could bring a new dynamic to the running game. Ekeler is known for his explosiveness and dual-threat ability in the passing game.

Feaster, on the other hand, is a big-bodied runner that makes a living off of breaking tackles and using his power to get past the line of scrimmage.

Feaster is used to being in a dual running back role, as that is what he did at Clemson, and should be a nice addition to the running back position.

Finally, the Los Angeles Chargers can conclude the draft by adding to the tight end position. While there are fears that the team won’t re-sign Hunter Henry, I doubt they would be foolish enough to let him walk.

Wilcox is not a replacement to Henry but instead is a depth option that could be the long-term backup option instead of Virgil Green. Wilcox put together some good film at South Florida, however, he will have a tougher time with his size and raw abilities at the higher level.

That is why Wilcox is brought in and is not used right away. The Chargers can coach him up and with an NFL medical staff, Wilcox should be able to put on more weight and get to standard NFL size.

If it does not pan out then it is just a seventh-round pick. If it does pan out, then the Los Angeles Chargers would be adding a valuable pass-catching tight end to the fold.
