2017 NFL Mock Draft: Sports Illustrated Has the Chargers Drafting a Quarterback

Sports Illustrated’s Chris Burke released his two-day mock draft this week. Let’s take a look at how he has the Los Angeles Chargers spending their firs three picks:

By more traditional metrics, the Chargers offense in 2016 was fairly capable. They finished the year in the top 10 in scoring and were 14th in total yards. Those stats are actually kinder to them than they deserve as they finished 19th in DVOA and 24th by Weighted DVOA as they actually got worse as the season wore on. With that in mind and the continued inability of Keenan Allen to stay healthy, you have to at least consider going offense at #7.
