The San Diego Chargers have a lot of needs to fill on both offense and defense, and this is a very important draft for them. It might help for them to trade down to collect more draft picks, although they will have to wait for the right deal. Here are several prospects they should consider in this year’s draft.

The team needs to address the center position, and if Martin is still available with their third pick then they should strongly consider him. He is an intelligent player who could develop into a very good leader down the road.

Jones has a strong arm and has proven that he can win big games. He is still a raw prospect, but the Chargers will have Rivers for a few more years and they could take a chance on his potential.
