The Los Angeles Chargers' offseason has been one that has confused fans a little with the approach taken by the franchise.
With ample cap space, the Chargers haven't been big players in free agency, and there are still a couple of roster holes that the front office has to fill.
Offensive line looms as a big one after last season's performance that saw Justin Herbert get sacked 54 times, and for most, that has to be where all of the attention goes in the draft.
But NFL.com's Nick Shook thinks getting Herbert another weapon is more of a priority.
"The Chargers have a solid starting trio of Quentin Johnston, Ladd McConkey and Tre Harris, but I think there's room for another playmaker in this group," Shook wrote. "If the offensive line can hold up (unlike last year), Justin Herbert could maximize a new addition in the receiving corps.
"Plus, another playmaker will allow new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to ramp up the pre-snap window dressing and create advantages as he has been known to do."

Do Chargers need another WR?
It wouldn't hurt.
As things stand, Herbert doesn't have a bona fide No. 1 weapon at his disposal, and even if Keenan Allen comes back, he's on the decline, although still productive.
The question is what is more of a priority to the Chargers. Offensive line or receiver?
Once that is figured out, the franchise can move forward. Both can be seen as top needs, but in the first round of the draft, the Chargers need a Day 1 starter who can make a difference.
Who will that be? Your guess is as good as mine.
