After the release and trade of Mike Williams and Keenan Allen, the Los Angeles Chargers need a top wide receiver. The 2024 NFL draft may provide them with that opportunity.

The consensus top receiver in the class is Marvin Harrison Jr. Yes, he is the son of Marvin Harrison Sr., a legendary NFL wideout. The Chargers are in play for him in the first ten picks of the draft, and his dad shares a special connection with new head coach Jim Harbaugh.

Harbaugh threw Harrison Sr. his first touchdown pass of his pro career.

Accordingly, it would be extremely cool to see his son play for the player that played a big role in a major milestone for a Hall of Fame career.

Not to mention, wide receiver is a major need for LA. Justin Herbert needs a top target after losing his top talent. Plus, a high-level receiver in the draft costs dramatically less than a free agent option.
