Dillard hasn’t shown much since Philly selected him in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Setting aside the 2020 season, which he lost to a biceps injury, Dillard has made just eight starts as a professional, playing 54 percent of the Eagles’ offensive snaps this season, per Pro Football Reference. But if the Eagles ever do decide to part ways with him, it would still be worth it for someone to take a flier on Dillard’s first-round pedigree. And the Chargers sure could have used the help up front down the stretch. Right tackle Bryan Bulaga‘s been out since September, and while QB Justin Herbert has played very well for most of the season, opposing pass rushers have been getting to him, as reflected by his 88 total pressures, eighth-most in the NFL, per Next Gen Stats. Dillard might have been able to rejuvenate his career while making life a bit easier for Herbert.
