Chargers News: Brock Bowers Speaks on Potentially Joining LA, "It Would Be a Great Fit"

Could we see Bowers in the powder blue by late April?

Your Los Angeles Chargers hold the coveted number five pick in late April's impending NFL draft. There are plenty of ways the Bolts could go with it; they could keep the pick, look to trade up or trade down for more picks. 

It's uncertain what they'll do yet, but if they decide to keep it, there are plenty of options. 

The Bolts could look to draft an elite wide receiver, or they could go the tight end route, and there's only one option on the front. Georgia tight end Brock Bowers is considered among the top prospects in the draft, regardless of position. Bowers recently caught up with the co-host of the Chargers Unleashed podcast, Dan Wolkenstein, and said joining LA alongside Justin Herbert and Jim Harbaugh would be a great fit. 

"That would be awesome," Bowers opined. "I feel like it would be a great fit playing for coach [Jim] Harbaugh and Justin Herbert."

Bowers would bring an element to the team that they have lacked since naming Herbert the QB1, a great tight end. Herbert has had solid to great wide receivers but has yet to have an elite tight end on his side. 

Considering how physical and dominant Bowers is, it would change the dynamic of the passing game and running game. He has a unique combination of size and athleticism for his position and outstanding strength and body control, making him a formable force on the field.  

He's one of one at his position in this draft, and the chances of LA going with Bowers are significantly high. At the end of the interview, Wolkenstein asked the 21-year-old what would make him a great fit in LA.

"I feel like I bring kind of another weapon to the game in the middle of the field, in the flat, kind of just everywhere they need me," Bowers said.

Many mock drafts have the Chargers selecting Bowers at number five.
