Los Angeles Chargers

1. Tom Brady
2. Jason Peters
3. James Bradberry

The Chargers go into 2020 even more desperate than the Raiders to fill their new home, which they will be sharing with the Rams in Los Angeles.

Nothing from the last two seasons has provided any indication the Chargers will be able to do that without luring a name like Brady out west. To convince him to trade New England for California, however, the Chargers will need to prove they can protect him.

Their impending trade for guard Trai Turner will help in that regard, yet the tackle position remains an area of need, with Russell Okung poised to go the other way in that deal with the Carolina Panthers.

Peters would be an affordable stopgap at the age of 38 and his signing would not prevent the Chargers from drafting his successor, as the Philadelphia Eagles did last year when they selected Andre Dillard in the first round.

Casey Hayward remains an excellent corner, however, the Chargers are light on quality at the position beyond him. If the Chargers can entice Bradberry across from Carolina and keep safety Derwin James on the field, their secondary will suddenly look a lot more menacing.
