5 under-the-radar prospects Chargers could select in Round 1 of draft

Yahoo Sports

Here are five under-the-radar prospects who could be targets for the Chargers at pick No. 22 that haven't been commonly mocked to them.

While most mock drafts frequently link the Chargers to names like Penn State guard Olaivavega Ioane or Clemson defensive tackle Peter Woods, they could go in a completely different direction than what the media thinks. Here are five under-the-radar prospects who could be targets for the Bolts at pick No. 22 that haven't been commonly mocked to them.

1. WR KC Concepcion, Texas A&M If Mike McDaniel wants to add a "Swiss Army Knife" to his offense, Concepcion is the answer. Standing 5-foot-11, he isn't the biggest receiver, but he plays with the toughness of a running back.

He is elite after the catch and has the vision to be used in the screen game or on jet sweeps, elements that have been missing from the Chargers' offense. Concepcion also offers value as a return specialist. 2.

TE Kenyon Sadiq, Oregon With McDaniel’s emphasis on heavy personnel and versatile tight ends, Sadiq is a fascinating option to add to a room already with Charlie Kolar and Oronde Gadsden II. He is a converted wide receiver with elite speed to win at all levels. His 6-foot-3 frame and explosive leaping ability would give Herbert another legitimate above-the-rim threat in the red zone.
