Chargers get dream scenario for Justin Herbert in latest mock draft

The Los Angeles Chargers, for me at least, enter the NFL Draft with one piece of yellow paper, similar to the movie Draft Day.

And it reads "get Justin Herbert help no matter what."

What that looks like for most is up for debate, with the Chargers in several mock drafts taking edge rushers and receivers, and the odd one taking an offensive lineman.

For me, it has to be a lineman for L.A. (without reaching, of course). 

And NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah, in his final mock draft, has one of the best linemen falling to the Chargers in Penn State's Olaivavega Ioane.

"This is a dream scenario for the Chargers, with Ioane falling to them," Jeremiah wrote. "He would fill their biggest roster need and immediately thrive in Mike McDaniel’s offense."

Herbert the focus of Chargers' draft

And he has to be, right?

Having been sacked 54 times last season, getting Herbert better protection and even offensive line depth has to be near the top of the to-do list.

Yes, Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater will be back, but can we expect the pair to play a full 17-game slate plus playoffs? That might be a tough thing to do after such long layoffs.

So, fortifying the offensive line, to me at least, feels like the smart move. Of course, drafting the best player available should be the approach, but Herbert needs help.

And in this draft, the Chargers can ensure he gets it.
