We’re still quite a long ways from next year’s NFL draft but no length of time has ever stopped anyone from delving into a fresh mock draft. Today, I’m bringing you another early 2024 mock draft where ESPN NFL draft analyst Jordan Reid has the Chargers selecting a high-upside defensive tackle in the hopes of further reinforcing the team’ leaky run defense.
With the 22nd-overall pick, Reid has the Chargers selecting Michigan defensive tackle Kris Jenkins. At 6’3 and 285 pounds, Jenkins doesn’t have notable “run-stuffing” size at the point of attack but his athleticism is above-average for the position and it sounds like many believe he’ll continue to grow into his frame throughout what could be his final year with the Wolverines.
