ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr posted his second NFL Mock Draft of the year this week and after linking the LA Chargers to quarterback Justin Herbert in his first edition, he went for added protection on the offensive line this time around. Kiper mocked Alabama offensive tackle Jedrick Wills to the Chargers at the sixth overall pick after having three quarterbacks go off the board in the top five, including Herbert.
Remember a year ago when the Chargers were coming off a 12-4 regular season and a playoff win? We’re a long way from that, and now stalwart quarterback Philip Rivers won’t return, and they have several decisions to make on free agents, including tight end Hunter Henry, running back Melvin Gordon and linebacker Jatavis Brown.
