The Los Angeles Chargers made some really smart moves during the 2017 NFL Draft which will have a major impact on the upcoming season.

Los Angeles draft has a chance to make them more dangerous in both the long and short term. They were able to address some major needs as well as get value with each of their selections. It should be a lot of fun watching Mike Williams build his relationship with Philip Rivers.

New Head Coach, Anthony Lynn, finds himself in a good position. This is a team that could surprise some people this season, but also has the makings of a bright future. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Chargers were a surprise playoff team.

If they do make a playoff run this season improved offensive line play will be a key factor. The Chargers added Russell Okung via free agency while drafting Forrest Lamp and Dan Feeney.

Below is a list of the San Diego Chargers 2017 NFL Draft picks:

1st Round- Mike Williams, WR, Clemson
