The Los Angeles Chargers struck gold in the 2020 draft with the selection of quarterback Justin Herbert, and the team looks ready to take the next step in his second season, especially with new head coach Brandon Staley.
The one issue that continues to plague this team is the offensive line. It needs to get in order, or Herbert could end up like Andrew Luck. The good news is that the 2021 NFL Draft is loaded with offensive line prospects, and USC’s Alijah Vera-Tucker could fill a need in multiple places. Vera-Tucker has the versatility to play tackle or guard and succeed at both.

The fall of Micah Parsons ends here. The Las Vegas Raiders make a deal with the Minnesota Vikings, sending their third-round selection and pick 17 for pick 14 and a fourth-round pick. It isn’t too much to give up and the Raiders get a potential blue-chip player in the process.
The linebacking core in Vegas struggled this past season, as Cory Littleton didn’t live up to his billing. Parsons can do a bit of everything, from playing off the ball and using his range and athleticism to cover ground, to rushing the passer with elite quickness and closing speed.
