The 2019 Chargers draft class has had a rough go of things in the league. Jerry Tillery never became the consistent starter Los Angeles envisioned when they drafted him 28th overall, and his fifth-year option ended up being declined. Nasir Adderley hasn’t found a way to refine his tackling angles. Trey Pipkins finally won a starting job this season, only to sprain and reaggravate his MCL. Easton Stick has played in one game, while Emeke Egbule and Cortez Broughton are no longer on the roster.
For a long time, this class has been considered a letdown largely. None of the players have yet earned a second contract with the Chargers. Pipkins is the most likely, considering he’s played well when healthy at right tackle, a pain point of LA’s offensive line over the past two seasons. But there’s one other draftee who deserves an extension, perhaps even more so than Pipkins.
