Yeah, I would think that the Chargers will need to address the QB position in the draft one way or another. They would need to move up from position 6, but their challenge will be to get in front of the Dolphins who are really well armed with Draft picks to do so. So I don't know if they would want the third best option with their number 6 pick, or if they want to risk dropping back a bit to try and get that player.
The Chargers other problem is that they do need to get some buzz to gain some fans. So whether or not 42 year old Tom Brady can come in and play better than Rivers did this year...he could sell tickets that Rivers can't. Even Tua would generate some buzz, and maybe you can get a veteran to shelter him for the first half of the year.
One thing that Watson, Mahomes, and Jackson have in common is that they didn't get forced into starting in week one on a bad team. Despite the Chargers record, it's not a bad team. They are talented team with a bad record.
