The Chargers trading back is starting to generate some traction so in this simulation the Eagles traded up nine spots from the No. 30 overall selection to select Alabama safety Brian Branch.
Los Angeles also acquired Philadelphia’s second-round selection (No. 62 overall) while only also giving up their fourth-round pick (No. 125 overall). That gave the Bolts four picks in the top 100.
To kick things off, the Chargers injected a much-needed dynamic element into the wide receiver room with the selection of Downs.
Downs is an explosive runner after the catch. He is great at finding room in open space and taking it for chunk yards. He is a talented route runner with a full route tree. Given his shiftiness and dynamic ability in the open field, Downs can come in and immediately make a play as a return man, too.
Downs left North Carolina ranked No. 3 in the program in career receptions with 202. He had 2,483 receiving yards (No. 4 all-time at UNC) and 22 touchdown catches (No. 2) in his career as a Tar Heel. He put up back-to-back 1,000 receiving-yard seasons in 2021 and 2022.
