Kiper makes big changes in his post-free-agency mock draft – Bolts Select Nabers
5 comments
5. Los Angeles Chargers
Malik Nabers, WR, LSU
The Chargers’ salary-cap crunch led to the release of Mike Williams and trade of Keenan Allen, leaving the wide receiver corps depleted. They can’t go into the season with Joshua Palmer and Quentin Johnston, who disappointed as a rookie last season, as their top two wideouts. So as much as right tackle could still be in play, this is the spot to nab a receiver to be Justin Herbert’s No. 1 target.
In any other draft class, Nabers and Rome Odunze would be the far-and-away top-ranked wideouts — but this isn’t any other draft class. There likely will be three taken in the top 10, and a handful of others throughout Round 1. This is an extremely talented group. What I like about Nabers is his ability to create separation and then break tackles after the catch. He’s a fantastic player.
Is anyone actually subscribed to ESPN+?
Where did MHJ go on this mock?
Damn it. I was hoping for Nabers too.
there’s no way we don’t select a WR at 5, but I also said there was no way we’d get rid of Keenan, I also thought there’d be no way we’d get Harbaugh so I don’t know anything
