The Athletic

“The Beast” is here. Our draft expert Dane Brugler dropped his outrageously comprehensive prospect guide this week, and we now have access to his hundreds of detailed scouting reports and verified testing information on nearly 2,000 players. So, of course, I will be using all that new and fascinating information to find the best draft fits for the Los Angeles Chargers. This is mock draft 3.0. The draft begins in 14 days, and this will be my third of four mock drafts this offseason. The final mock — 4.0 — comes out the week of the draft and will be my best guess at what the Chargers will do come April 25. Mock draft 1.0 was an appetizer for draft season. Mock draft 2.0 looked into a trade-down scenario. This version will be an initial pass through “The Beast.”
