Chargers 7-round mock draft: Predicting what Jim Harbaugh, Joe Hortiz will do
29 comments
Can it be Thursday already. I’m tired of these mock drafts boss
Maybe because it is next year’s second and doesn’t add anything this year but I’m not in love with what Popper has us doing here.
Popper’s mock: Round 1 pick 10 (+ Round 3 pick 72 and 2025 2nd from Jets): OT Troy Fautanu
Round 2 pick 37: CB Mike Sainristil
Round 3 pick 69: RB Blake Corum
Round 3 pick 72: WR Devontez Walker
Round 4 pick 105: C Hunter Nourzad
Round 4 pick 110: IDL Dewayne Carter
Round 5 pick 140: S Josh Proctor
Round 6 pick 181: LB Marist Liufau
Round 7 pick 225: OG Elijah Klein
Round 7 pick 253: CB Chigozie Anusiem
If MHJ is there and that’s all we trade down for I’ll be upset. Not worth it, imo, for the “first pick” in the draft like the FO and Harbaugh have been saying
very meh mock draft. I would be disappointed if this is what happens.
Ya fuck this. Absolutely abysmal return for moving off the best WR prospect since Julio Jones and the best prospect overall in this class at a massive position of need. I’m so done with this pre-draft process, it’s been a rough one.
I don’t think our oline is so bad we move off of who might be the best overall prospect in the draft
Ngl I hate this draft. No interest in trading back that far just to get a 2025 2nd and a 3rd.
Hard pass
You have the best player in the draft fall in your lap, you need a player at that position more than any other position and you trade back?
😅 Pop’s going to get angry again if you don’t praise his mock.
Do all these writers and analysts realize Harbaugh isn’t in full control of the roster and that Hortiz said they’ll only trade down if the offer is huge?
That means if Marvin drops, then they’ll take Marvin. This “O-Line” and “Run the ball” narrative is absolute dogshit.
I swear to god if MHJ is there and we pass I’m going to be beside myself
We do not want a fair trade. We want to fleece someone, if it comes down to a trade.
You guys are crazy for two things. First, believing anything you read in a mock from a scrub like popper. Hes just spitting straight nonsense for engagement. Second, for posting shit from the athletic.
That trade value for the first Non-QB pick is bad.
I like Popper he produces a lot of good content. But IMHO he completely missed the mark on this one.
He claims this mock is what he thinks the Chargers would do. Not what they should do, okay thats fine.
However, we heard Hortiz say in his presser that they believe they have the nr.1 pick in this draft and moving off would have to involve an offer that blows them away. The trade compensation with the Jets does not do that.
Hortiz also mentioned BPA is their way to go. In this mock you would have MHJ available, clear BPA at 5 for a position of need.
Even if they then trade back for an OT, the culture Harbaugh and co are building would have you look at a mauler in the rungame at OT. Fautanu is not that, neither is he BPA at 10.
This mock from the get go, goes against everything Hortiz and Harbaugh have spoken about. It makes 0 sense.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk

Pass on Marvin for Fautanu and some day 2 picks lol? Ngl, I’d be absolutely fuming if this happened. No way Jim and Hortiz go this route.
I just don’t see Jets trading up like that
Popper’s mocks are fucking terrible.
I’m fine with the second round pick, but adding a RB who has little to no experience as a pass catcher and is one of the older RBs in the draft with a lot of usage is not ideal. It’s also been proven you can win with a RB drafted in the 5th or later. Getting draft capital is fine, but not sure why you would opt to get the capital in the following years draft when you need guys now. It makes no sense. Really woulda thought Popper would have a bit better of a mock tbh. One of my least favorite I’ve seen and it came from our beat writer.
If MHJ is available at 5 and they don’t draft him I will lose my shit, especially if it’s to pick up a 3rd and 2nd round pick.
I like Popper’s 3.0 mock more. If we’re not trading with the Vikings in the first, we should stay at 5 and pick MHJ. And yea, I know Popper said this is what he thinks they do and not what he would do, but I don’t see Hortiz doing it for that compensation.
People are going to be really surprised when we don’t draft any Michigan players lol
Nah FO is firmly non-qb BPA and it’ll be MHJ at 5. CB and OL to follow
We take an OG, a slot CB, and a RB in first three rounds. We can’t not take the premium positions that you pay a ton for in free agency — WR, OT, DT, outside CB, and EDGE (though I don’t think we should take EDGE…noting it as the other premium position we could theoretically take).
Terrible mock.
Finally, I was waiting for someone to release a mock draft! About damn time.
Wtf man what is this shit why is everyone thinking we will pass on MHJ???
If this was reality I’m taking two WR in the first 3 rounds , I’ll wait until the fourth for a RB .
