Draftwire

When it comes to breaking down the NFL draft needs for teams, there is usually a need or two that really stands out. But as we dug through the roster of the Los Angeles Chargers, there really isn’t anything that stands out. So when we worked through this mock draft, it was more a case of just going for the best player available in each round to help add talent to an already talented roster. We start this draft off with one of the top edge rushers in the entire draft in Nolan Smith. He’s been an excellent third pass rusher and eventual starter. In the second round we add another playmaker on offense to help out quarterback Justin Herbert and then it is on to adding talented depth along the offensive and defensive line as well as a developmental cornerback and sleeper running back.
