McConkey deserves a mulligan in 2025 if Chargers' OL improves; Harris sees WR1 upside despite slot limitations.
Ladd McConkeyWRLAC
Harris believes McConkey's 2025 upside was overvalued in 2024 drafts and that he deserves a mulligan given the Chargers' offensive collapse. Harris cites film evidence of McConkey's skill: he's 'super quick coming out of breaks,' clever on option routes, and showed flashes of elite play—roasting Jeff Okuda for a TD in Week 8 vs. Vikings and scoring on a wheel route TD in Week 16 vs. Cowboys. Harris projects McConkey will be 'the biggest part' of the Chargers' passing game in 2025 if Herbert stays healthy and the offensive line improves, though 'not quite as big a part as his advocates predicted last summer.' Harris also notes McConkey is a slot player who doesn't consistently beat press coverage and lacks elite size or speed.
