The initial push into free agency changed, and clarified, some things for the Los Angeles Chargers and their draft projections.
First and foremost: trading for Khalil Mack from the Chicago Bears means the Chargers no longer have a 2nd round pick. Secondly: bringing in JC Jackson, Sebastian Joseph Day, and Austin Johnson means that Cornerback and Defensive Tackle become “nice to have” positions in round 1 instead of being “absolute need.”
With that in mind, let’s get into the mock. I’ll be using the PFF mock draft sim this time as it gives options for trades.
