It is no secret that the Los Angeles Chargers' offense needs more weapons for Justin Herbert, and so far the franchise hasn't seemed too concerned about making it happen.
Moves along the offensive line were made, but Herbert still doesn't have a genuine No. 1 weapon to throw to.
But what if he did?
The Rich Eisen Show's Chris Brockman put forth an interesting thought that the Chargers should send this year's first-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for AJ Brown.
But Eisen isn't sold.
"I'm sure Howie [Roseman] would say sold, I'll take a first-round pick for him, but I don't think anybody's offered that for a reason," Eisen said.

They should at least pick up the phone and call, right?
But given how the franchise has sat on its hands for the most part, I don't see them using a first to secure an aging receiver, who, while productive, does come with some quirks.
Yes, he would be at the top of the receiver depth chart, but new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel would have to make sure Brown gets ample targets every week. And being a run-first offense, I'm not sure how well that would work.
Still, the Chargers should at least gauge interest in the receiver.
Chris Brockman proposed that the Los Angeles Chargers trade their first-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for wide receiver AJ Brown.
The Chargers need to trade for AJ Brown to provide quarterback Justin Herbert with a genuine No. 1 weapon, as their current offensive lineup lacks top-tier talent.
AJ Brown would significantly enhance the Chargers' offense by giving Justin Herbert a reliable and elite target, potentially improving their overall performance and scoring ability.
